Now I'm sure Yankee management is uncontrollably fractured & bipolar; they have become one of the most delusional operations in the game today. Forget about the team's ups and downs on the field.........they are more frenetic off the field. Owner Hal & Mr. Levine on one hand think this Yankee team has a good chance to be a playoff team; then they permit Cashman to trade A Chapman for future talent; now they want to be buyers......... for a premiere starter, Chris Sale, which means they will give up their future talent. How chaotic can a baseball organization be? Exactly, what is Yankee management's plan? And Yankee fans are being taken along on this roller coaster ride. I want off!
He' probably cut off all the NY logos on the home Jerseys. The Man is talented but I think that stunt he pulled in Chicago was a real crock of crap. He may be drawing a huge salary but he's still an employee. The White Sox should lay a huge fine on that guy.
...while Sale is a helluva pitcher, his "inverted W" pitching motion makes him a prime candidate for future shoulder/elbow issues...but he is however, under team control for another 3 years at a relatively low salary. ...and if the Yanx could acquire by only giving up Gleyber Torres in return, I say do it but I gotta believe it will take more than that. ...acquiring Sale still would not address the fact that the Yanx' offense is anemic...Beltran and DiDi are the only ones who have been consistent for most of this year and Beltran is leading the team in virtually every offensive category and is the only starter who has an OPS over .768. ...if the Yanx get Sale and gamble that they will make the PS and actually make a legitimate impact in the PS, they'd better be right...otherwise they risk losing what value Beltran, Gardner and the others have right now. ...of course this could all be posturing by the Yanx in order to hopefully get better offers from contending teams who could use Beltran/Gardner/the others.
Live For Today is an old Grass Roots Tune. I'm hoping they Yankees shred players like a snake sheds its skin end resulting in a future. Put what you get back on the field and ply for respect in '16. If they keep on track hoping for a post season appearance end resulting in one and done it just ain't worth a shit. Should I see the Yankees play in Tropicana I want to see them level the local team instead of getting their asses kicked. Had a conversation with a Blue Jays fan couple weeks ago who stated that beating the Yankees over the last couple season was no fun given the way the team has deteriorated.
...saw The Grass Roots and the late Rob Grill in Albany Georgia back in '73 or '74...Black Oak Arkansas was also there that night...great show ...I remember it vividly because it was sleeting as we stood in line and later it snowed like hell while we were inside...and when the concert was over we were greet with an honest 2 inches of snow in the parking lot...you've never seen anything so hilarious as watching a bunch of south Georgia folks trying to drive in the snow. ...but as I also alluded to, I agree with you, just to make the PS and then promptly get bounced out like we did last year just ain't worth it.
Sale ain't going anywhere. Yankees can inquire all they want.........it ain't costing them a penny. Texas Rangers have a better shot to land this dude. They have a much more talented farm system. It would take 4 minor leaguers + 1 roster player.
Real early in the season the experts were predicting a Cubs White Sox Series, that sure went to shit over time.
'Black Oak Arkansas', now that's a band I have not heard from in decades..... here's the temper tantrum story on Sale, if anyone hasn't read what is being alluded too- http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/knuckleball-news/stokke-details-white-sox-sending-chris-sale-home/
You're getting excited and jumping to conclusions. There will be no trade of Sale to the Yanks ...UNLESS for some strange reason it will cost the Yanks not too much...maybe a combination of Gardner,one AAA prospect and/or one AA prospect with the teams exchanging salaries of Sale and Gardner. Mr Sale is only one of the very best SP in MLB who also happens to be at the top of his game. Yanks have quite a few "pretty good" players at AAA and AA... Don't panic.
