No, this one is definetly a Kyle Farnsworth book, considering his recent reactions after being taken out.

Yeah Farnsworth was a b*** about getting pulled, but K-Rod creams his pants after every game he saves. He's a great pitcher, but it gets annoying after he shows up every team he saves a game against.

Because what he HAD was talent... just no self-control (nor any apparent desire to develop any).

Not sure about this one... he spent time in jail... perhaps you're inferring he helped BUILD the railways as part of a work-release? :)

Or, more likely, his extensive travels in the minors and majors probably could've made him quite familiar with all the various railways. :)

Nice try, but, I was referring to him getting on the Yankee's train as a rookie with the Red Sox, earning him alot of ribbing.
