    Stating how proud of A-hole the Steins are. Glad to hear it boys, how proud are you of your stinking GM and his band aid baseball team that is embarrassing and alienating Yankee Fans who expect more from this franchise. If the "Boss" were still around you two clowns and Cashman would be wearing "Work For Food Signs on city street corners.

    The Boss would have run us into the ground in this era. The height of the Yankee turnaround came from player development started while he was suspended. Then during the roids era you were able to acquire FAs in their mid to late 30s who could still play. In the post-PED era teams are buying out their stars primes and guys arent hitting the FA market until their early 30s. The Boss making us throw money at guys like that would have us in the same shitty contract shape we're in now. The lone area I think he may have helped is getting us to sign Cubans. I will never understand why we have sat out this wave of Cuban players. I mean for fuck's sake. Aroldis Chapman, Puig, Abreu, Soler, Guerrerro, Cespedes, Tomas, Moncada and the Yankees have sat on their ass time and again only targeting Cubans in the 16 and 17 year old age range. Instead of signing these guys in their prime we've been paying Dumpy McCann & Carlos Beltran for their post-prime shit.

    The "Boss" made his share of mistakes, and he threw around money, and his team got resurrected during his absence but one thing about Steinbrenner I always admired was that he gave a damn about the team. If those two jerk off kids don't give a damn fine, sell the God Dam Team to an ownership group who will hopefully turn the pages get some quality knowledgeable baseball folks who will attrition out the high paid duds and replace them with hungry talented ballplayers. At my 60th year of fandom I see a team that has been sinking for they last three seasons to the point where they wouldn't scare a pony league team. They are having a day for Bernie on the 24th, what happens, the man is honored, team gets its ass kicked. The last honorable cool game this team played was when they kicked the crap out of Boston in Fenway at the 100th anniversary of that facility. Evil Empire my ass! Get it wired Yankees

    Any relationship between Cashman and a plan is pure coincidence.

    Here's my "line" ➡as long as the Yankees are hanging around 1st place or in WC contention, I'm not going to make a jackass out of myself by ridiculing this "plan" of Cashman's.

    I'll leave that to the high and mighty geniuses.

    Oh, by the way, there's a man in the dugout....he's called the "manager", and he literally has his hands on every lineup, replacement and pitching changes EVERYDAY.

    Go Yanks.

    ... ahhh, so Girardi is to blame but Cashman is somehow above reproach. Check.

    ...and I'm not "high and mighty".

    Cashman is obviously out of his league & I'll equipped to assemble a good team without a payroll of $500M/year

    Let me see. The Yankees have lost 7 out of their last 8
    games and are only 1/2 game out of first place. Kudos
    for losing? The AL East is the weakest division in MLB.
    So, as long as the Yankees play near or below .500,
    they look like an elite baseball team or one to play
    Championship baseball? Standards for the team
    have really fallen. Thank you Bopsie Brothers and the
    GM with a ring in his nose. What's worse about these
    Yankees, you cannot classify them as "entertainment"
    anymore.........especially when those clowns have lost
    scope on the business end.
