Game Thread Tuesday 4/26/16 Yankees @ Rangers 8:05PM

And guess who is pitching tomorrow! Three guesses first two don't count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just embarrassing.

 

Like ARod is DH? Keep the has-been in until he breaks down? Great plan.

 

Revision Y- to original plan, do everything opposite of "the plan"...

A- Call Psychic hotline, for leads on acquisitions, and who should play when and where

B - get rid of young talent

1. fire all scouts who fill out reports on anyone under 32

C -spend more money for 32+ yr old Free Agents (sign for 10 yrs). FA's returning from off season surgery get bonuses, more playing time too.

1. hold out until Harper and Trout are available, then spend entire payroll for decade to follow, on both. Use rookie ball roster to fill the gaps
2. fervently pursue all Scott Bor-ass clients
3. Pay top dollar to players all teams pass on, mediocrity is the new perfection

C - File petition with Commish, to allow dual rosters. Fielder's not required to bat, [allow entire new (2nd) 9 man roster; 1 lineup for hitting, another for fielding].

1. Abolish DL, inactive players can play to this standard set by Hanky

D= From Trashman and Tadpoles secret files: (Comic Books) ***

1. find this guy, and sell the Planet to obtain- "he's real, we saw him on TV commercials, and he's even got his own movies". Hell hire Her also, I hear she she's a hit....

*** nothing wrong with comic books or cb fans, usually most know reality vs fiction, less the 2 clowns running the show, or is Trashman merely Hanky's own personal mascot/fanboy?

 

...Sabathia may be a 5th starter but he's making Ace money ( $25 Mil this year and next) and he's also taking up a roster spot that another pitcher would be more deserving of...so I can see the frustration whenever he pitches.

 

...both pitching (4.47 ERA) and hitting (3.68 runs per game) by the Yanx is among the very worst in MLB.

...if things don't change pretty quickly, Girardi will be fired by the AS break...while Cashman gets another raise and another extension.

 

I'd really love to know what Cashman's raise & contract extension was based on.

 

^^^it came immediately after the 2014 season...and evidently it was based on the Steins believing he had done such a bang up job up to that point.

...but keep in mind that if you criticize Cashman, you yourself will be criticized...so watch it !

 

I hear you Vic, its just that you never know what you're going to get from this guy & for the most part its generally not good.

 

...no more or no less than Headley.

...and actually, CC's contract and those contracts like his are this team's problem...and has been for awhile.

...CC, Headley, Tex, ARod, Ellsbury, Beltran, etc.

 

^^^and Cashman is the father of all this. Sorry, but some may not like me bashing him as much as I do but the fact is that he has to be held accountable for the current status of this team. Cashman is not a GM, he's a figurehead for the Steins and nobody fears the Yanx anymore...they're a mediocre team that is going nowhere.
...Cashman also gave CC a opt out clause and needlessly resigned CC by tearing up his existing contract and giving him a new one, even though CC never actually opted out...brilliant, simply brilliant.

 

His contract (like A-Roids) never should have been upped, Cashman should have let them both walk after they opted out. Especially A-Rod.

 

Without a doubt......mediocrity lives in
Yankee pinstripes for a long time. I cannot
get excited anymore at the mention that
the Yankees are on TV.......forget about going
to the Stadium to watch this crap of a team.

 

Over the next year or two a shitload of money will be coming off the books, that's the good news. The bad news is that Cashman will be using that money for........WHO?

 

...they're also basically gonna have to eat money in the final years of Ellsbury's, CC's, ARod's contracts too.
