Sounds like you're mind is made up. Too bad you choose to discard or ignore a few things which were totally out of Cashman's control. Fine with me....keep the flag of ignorance flying high.
Everyone else on this board would agree with MY assessment of both Cashman & A-Rod & NO ONE is agreeing with yours, and I'm flying a flag of ignorance.
Alright, I've thought about it: The only one here bitching and snide is YOU.... The only source of negative remarks is coming out of your camp, the others all I see is the truth..... 2ndly- don't patronize me or anyone else, don't try to educate anyone here, its becoming obvious, the only person your reacting to is your own inflated ego....Keep pumping....! and yes, A-Roid is a Shit Pie, and Trash-Man, no more a Honorable GM, than Vezzini was a Knight..... Can you not handle the truth?
...yup, he's the only one with this rosy outlook yet he tells us to just "Let it go guys....let it go".....amazing, isn't? ...like anyone else, he's entitled to his opinion, but if it were me with a singular point of view and I was grossly outnumbered, I'd get tired of beating my head up against the same old tired wall all the time.
If this were Darts, you'd have 3 darts in the bulls eye...... I know your comment is tongue in cheek, but one of the few and last people to fly a flag of ignorance is Ye'; Sir Rick....! As for me, the only flag I fly is a Maple Leaf, I mean a Stars and Stripes, LOL..... IN fact, I take pride in the fact René Gagnon one of the Marines on Iwo Jima, Pictured in this Classic World Wide Pic, was (no shit), the Nephew of my Grand-Father.....
beg all you want....and keep at it, cuz "on your knees" seems to be your natural position these days......!
You mean If I were in His shoes, I'd simply walk away, and keep what bit of sanity I had left...... One would think, every single day without fail of this: He would eventually run out of fuel.....perhaps he's using human sewage as an alternative fuel??????? LMAO.....
You're thinking WHAT WAS, while the rest of us are thinking WHAT IS. We're talking about THIS year. And the moves Cashman did & didn't make to improve on last season. Try & keep up.
Oh really? lol, You're not even willing to concede Beltran's elbow issue was a major blow to the Yankee offense along with the very soft offensive output of the outgoing Captain in which Cashman had no control over and Tex' weak season, .....or maybe you do? You may blame him for not having good enough backups, but do YOU really know the circumstances? Are you sure he didn't do as well as he could without surrendering any top prospects for "good backups"? Maybe he should've kept Mark Reynolds? Yeah, that's the trick, would've been a real difference maker. The Yanks spent a ton of money on Beltran, Ellsbury and McCann and in case you didn't notice, McCann didn't exactly set the world on fire especially the early part of the season. You may recall, there was a choice of the Yanks resigning Granderson for 4 yrs...they chose Beltran for 3 years and he was coming off a very good year. He got hurt. Cashman's fault, of course. Cashman was in the dugout making out the lineup cards, was on the field playing, and was also batting in the lineup when the Yanks were losing those 10 games (starting in late August) scoring TWO or LESS runs in each loss. Maybe I should've been more clear when I say: The Yanks won 84 games last year missing a WC spot by 4 games. I was kinda hoping it would be understood if the offense wasn't so bad, particularly RF,DH,SS and 1b....the team IMO (don't know about you) would've won AT LEAST the four game difference between them and the WC spot. But the circumstances which hampered the Yankee offense is ALL because of Cashman. Sorry guys, I can't help it if a handful of posters on this board are holding a childish grudge against Cashman. Lmao.
By the way cuz.....you never did get back to me with any of Hank Steinbrenner's contemporaries with similar remarks regarding his "Redsox Nation is a bunch of bullshit" rant. You only provided the usual three paragraphs of irrelevant horsesh!t. Now be a good boy and send up some more comedy videos..... .....or you can just blow some more smoke in the air.
" Let it go guys, let it go" was meant for, and only for the Headley/Prado thing. The move has been made - it's done....Headley here, Prado traded. Post 21.....go back and see where it was referenced in the post. That's all I meant by that statement. Fair enough?
You're thinking WHAT WAS, while the rest of us are thinking WHAT IS. We're talking about THIS year. And the moves Cashman did & didn't make to improve on last season. Try & keep up. ______________ Very fine and timely post Rick. I'll happily address it and clear the air on these "issues". My points about what was (last year), was attempting to point out what "could've" been if the offense (I still can't blame Cashman for the whole shebang) didn't go into the tank.... If the offense was merely in the top half or top 3rd in the league in most categories I believe they would've qualified for a WC then it's a crap shoot...look at KC....then would "we" be so anti- Cashman coming into this year? Maybe, maybe not. Now the good stuff - I realize I am in the small opposition minority on probably the three biggest current Yankee issues. 1) Cashman. I have said in other posts I'm willing to give him a pass on last year for the reasons I've already given in other posts. I am NOT a big fan of Cashman but I will wait and see what the team looks like and performs this year before I take out my ax, lol. And I didn't like trading away Greene and have already said so when the deal went down. Cashman is indeed taking a risk with the Gregarious trade but "they" believe they may have found a good young inexpensive SS who can progress enough with the bat to seal the position. We're just going to have to wait and see.....and by the way, I did like Greene but I doubt he'll be a future top of the rotation guy....IMO. 2) My expectations of the (approx) number of wins the Yanks will have this year,90. If you want to call it 89-91....lol.....go right ahead, I think you get my point. 3) Finally, Arod, lol Of course I know he's been a creep....and of course I understand why he is hated by many and the "board" wants him GONE. But just have feeling there's a fair chance he has enough in the tank to play enough and provide a little jolt to the DH spot which will do wonders for this team's offense.....which in turn will help put more points on the scoreboard. He gets along well with the mgr, and as long as he doesn't cause any friction or personal problems with team mates, I will hope he can help the team WIN games. You know, there have been big creeps amoung the clubhouse in the past. I don't see Arod causing those problems...this is his last rodeo. Just my assessment of this Arod situation....and the media will ALWAYS be sniffing around, just like during the Bronx Zoo days. Most/all disagree with me on these issues, that's okay, I enjoy a little give and take.... ......but there are also plenty of things we agree upon! Thanks Rick. Glad to air it out.
