GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Hideo Nomo had been out of the game for two full seasons before attempting his comeback with the Royals at age 39, so I'm not exactly surprised to see it didn't work out, as the Royals designated him for assignment after Saturday's game. That sad, I'm still a bummed, if only because it's depressing to see a guy who made his debut while I was still in high school get forced out of the game for being too old.His stint with the Royals lasted all of 4 and 1/3 innings over three games, but that was enough time for him to give up 10 hits, three home runs and four walks. Considering the rest of the KC's bullpen has given up 12 earned runs combined, Nomo kind of stuck out.
So what's next for the Japanese pioneer? Well, it's not technically out of the question that he'll land with another big league team: the Royals have 10 days to trade or release him. But despite KC's pitching success, the general rule of thumb is that if you're not good enough for the Royals, you're not good enough for the majors.
Personally, I'm hoping that he joins Frank Thomas, Barry Bonds, Mike Piazza, Sammy Sosa, Eric Milton and Jose Mesain a "We Were Good in the 90's!" barnstorming tour around the country taking on high school and American Legion teams for charity, but if that doesn't happen, I guess there's always the Pirates.
