    ...^^^ meanwhile, the bull pen which was a strength last year, is now weaker.

    there is only one person I know, who can do as much, as well as teach us how to use "Pom-Poms", (we don't need no stinking pom-poms); while ensuring us, Our Yanx will win the World Series......!

    I might have to follow an NL team for 2016 & 2017 until the crashman nightmare is over.

    Cashman who has been an incompetent tool for years as a GM is finally doing what he should do. Get younger. He should make every attempt to trade Texiera and McCann as well. Even if he has to eat some of their salaries. The team should also cut their moronic ticket prices by half. Stadium is a graveyard ever since they got insane with ticket prices.

    ...^^^this is true, but;

    1. the current situation was born out of Cashman's inability or unwillingness to build from within...yet last year the Steins "rewarded" him with a new contract and a raise. Can you imagine a scenario in which any of us totally mismanaged our departments/employees/etc.,and ultimately when the owners of the company saw what a horrible job you were doing, called you into their office and said,

    "You've already proven that you are completely inept as a manager by wasting our money with your terrible hiring decisions and you've run our once proud business into the ground to the point of losing fans and sagging attendance,...but instead of firing your sorry ass, we're gonna give you 3 more years to straighten it all out."

    ==================================

    2...as far as people not filling up the stadium anymore, I think it's more than just insane ticket prices, I think it somehow goes deeper than just that alone...I mean, Fenway still has the highest average ticket prices and they always seem to have a packed house...Cubs tix are also close behind the Yanx.

    ...yet take notice of attendance figures;

    lol, okay I'll play along just to keep you honest and hold your little feet to the fire. Lately you have come down with a sorry condition:
    Your reading comprehension has suffered and you seem to be behaving like a jerk when it comes to ME.

    Now read the following and ask the BASEBALL WORLD what they think.

    Only a genius would call last year's team (87 wins), 4th best rec in THEIR league, qualifying for a post season berth "pathetic" - certainly NOT acceptable and nobody has ever claimed those Yanks or (so far) the 2016 Yanks are obvious legitimate WS contenders.

    However, there's only one person who HAS ALREADY been proven WRONG in his latest assessment of a sports' team.....lemme give you a hint:
    "say goodbye to the playoffs cheeseheads".

    No problem moving McCann except he gave away JR Murphy for a song and a bag of Cheetos.

    I'm kinda surprised that they're not trying harder to resign Gordon.

    CBS Sports reports that the Royals have been told they have "no chance" to re-sign Alex Gordon as things currently stand as per Jon Heyman.
