Today's outright assignments..
- Astros right-hander Mark Hamburger cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City, tweets Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Houston acquired the 25-year-old after he was waived by the Padres in July. In six minor league seasons, Hamburger owns a 4.03 ERA with 8.0 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9.
Every time I see this name I snicker,,, :)
*insert semi-witty hamburger joke*
I’ve seen this guy pitch and I know he will be a real HELPER. :)
He can sing…but obviously he cant pitch
Guys this is Mark Hamburger’s fourth or fifth post this season, all the jokes have already been made.
Yet they’re still quite funny.
And at least all the jokes have been in good taste…
And they came with a variety of flavors.
Prince Fielder denounced his vegiterianism and purchased the contract of Hamburger.
He was quoted saying, “It was a delicious pick up”.
I guess him and the Astros must’ve had some sort of beef.
How bad must a player feel when he is being demoted to AAA from the Astros? Not even good enough to make it on a team that is struggling to even touch the 50 win mark
I just came here to check what people would post
me too!
Can I please have a Hamburger with a 4.03 era on top of it
He couldn’t cut the mustard!
@Karkat:disqus – with a name like Hamburger, the jokes NEVER get old!
the best Astros pitcher name since Mark Lemongello.
perhaps a team will pick him up to beef up their bullpen. I guess he needs some more seasoning before being put back in the fire of pitching in the big leagues. At least in Houston he wont be grilled by the media about the demotion. Hitters were just licking their chops to get in there and he got eaten so this had to happen. Perhaps he could call up Steve Frey for some advice and they could work together a little to combat the issues…………… I know im missing some here.
