I said it before. It will be a sad day when George no longer runs the team. George would have fired Cashman after 2004, both him and Torre.

Good riddance 2008 Yankees. At least the Giants did us well.

George is the reason your team is where they are now, can't pin it all on Cashman.

Not even close VA. Cashman is.

I have no problem is he drafted players like Pedroia or Youk or Paps, etc.

When you draft Ian Kennedy, who every GM in baseball views as a 5th starter and tout him as one of the pieces to the "answer", when every player you draft needs season-ending surgery, etc....you suck.

The time-honored practice is to first axe the GM. Then if the team continues to suck, the GM goes.

If you want to keep Cashman as a GM, no way he gets an extension. You go in there and you say "Win the division next year or you're gone".

I am so sick of the Yankees rewarding shitty performances with contract extensions.

I went back and watched the replay where C.M. Wang got hurt running the bases in Houston. I guess I just didn't realize it the first time, but if you look closely you see a man run onto the field and push Wang, causing his injury. It's strange, but the guy looks a lot like Brian Cashman...

See, when reason shoots down Gom's idiotic theories, he resorts to the same old shitty lines.

That probably won't get you the best results.

BTW Cashman was right in thinking Joba should stay in the bullpen...he wouldn't be hurt right now if he was in the pen. In a perfect world you would love to have Joba pitching 200 innings in the rotation but I don't see that happening because of the nature in his pitching style. He is a power pitcher who puts a lot of stress on his arm. Some pitchers have a natural velocity in there pitching style (Verlander, Beckett, King Felix) then you have the likes of Papelbon, Joba, Lidge, K-Rod who put a lot into every pitch.

A combination of Joba and Rivera can shorten a game to 6-7 innings so the starters don't have quite as much pressure. Probably would take some pressure off the offense as well knowing the game is over if they can get a lead going into the 6-7th inning.

Joba shouldn't pitch at all this year. They should just shut him down and realize the season is lost.

No Jacko....you're right. Cashman is a genius and a living baseball God. That's why we're going to finish 15 gives behind Tampa and 10 games behind the wild card.

Stick to medicine Doc. Baseball is way out of your scope of understanding. Robertson is a perfect example. He's just not a good pitcher. With all your stats and press clippings, I needed to see him twice.

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw man argument" is to describe a position that superficially resembles an opponent's actual view but is easier to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent (for example, deliberately overstating the opponent's position).[1] A straw man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it carries little or no real evidential weight, because the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.[2]

How exactly do you know Chamberlain wouldn't have gotten hurt if he had stayed in the bullpen?
