Dodgers close to deal with Mark Sweeney

The Los Angeles Dodgers, fulfilling manager Joe Torre’s desire for a veteran hitter off the bench, are nearing agreement on a one-year major league contract with free agent Mark Sweeney.

“It’s not a done deal, but we’re moving in the right direction,’’ said Sweeney’s agent, Barry Axelrod.

...The Dodgers expect Sweeney to pinch hit and log some at-bats as a reserve at first base and the outfield.

That sucking sound you just heard was the sweet coronary sulcustard pie being ripped from Matt Kemp’s AB’s.

Two Sweeneys coming back on the same day - I'm not sure I can handle that.

All we need to hear now is that Julia will be returning to Saturday Night Live.

Following on the heels of Matt Sweeney's comeback when Chavez reformed and toured in 2006 in support of their new Matador collection of their mid-90s songs.

And let's not forget that Cricketeer from the late 1800's, Todd Sweeney, or was it Sweeney Todd?
