Just a few weeks after the San Diego Padres unloaded their big boy, the Atlanta Braves got rid of a massive dead weight in Bob Wickman.
The club designated the husky closer for assignment Friday after he blew more saves than Alyssa Milano has ballplayers. Which is like, six. The two of them have more than that in common, as Alyssa's nickname is actually Bob.
Wickman was 3-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 49 games with the Braves, saving 20 games in 26 opportunities.
Since David Wells has found a new home with the Los Angeles Dodgers, will Wickman be so lucky? Maybe the Red Sox are looking for some relief...

No spanks. We don't need another closer. We got the "Slutter".
Now I hope the Braves don't fire the babe who used to shoot Wickman hamburgers in the bullpen with the T-Shirt gun.

Ian, why have a steak when you can have the entire cow?
There's room in everyone's pen for the Wickster.
