Keep supporting a GM who won 3 World Series.

I'm sitting here saying the Yankees suck this year. Am I not allowed to say unless I suit up for the Sox at some point this year?

You fucking Yankee fans are being so damn dense. You guys literally sit here and criticize baseball teams and play GM all-day on a message board yet you criticize someone who has a hell of a lot more relevant opinion than you because he hasn't thrown a pitch this year.

My point was that you guys are giving Schilling a virtual handjob for bashing the Yankees, while he just stole $8 million from your franchise. I'd be pissed off at him, not getting on my knees under his desktop while he's playing WoW because he took a swing at New York.

And no, his opinion is not "a hell of a lot more relevant" than mine. He's a spectator, just like I am. What he says means nothing, and I don't know why anyone gives a shit about what he says. Just because he talks a lot doesn't make his opinion important.

Many of us Red Sox fans would bow in the presence of Schilling. Taking shots at the Yankees and their fans certainly could never change that.

The blatant stupidity is you think he had anything to do with any of them. My grandmother could have won 3 World Series if she was named GM in 1998. By the way, she died in 1986. Since Cashman....

The Yankees from their heydey 1996-2000 have declined in every way possible.
The Yankees farm system has not developed a SINGLE position player and one potential pitcher [Joba]. Before Cashman [Jeter, Pettitte, Posada, Bernie Williams]. Cashman. Shit, shit, more shit.
The Yankees under Cashman have been atrocious at signing free agent pitchers. They let Pettitte go when he was good and resigned him when he was washed up. Contreras. Igawa over Lilly.
The Yankees under Cashman traded away one of their most dangerous bats in Sheffield for a damaged minor league pitcher.
The Yankees under Cashman let this year's first pick get away, their second pick needs TJ, and their 3rd pick scared them off so much that they didn't sign him.
The Yankees under Cashman gambled that Kennedy and Melky would provide more bang for the buck than Santana. Santana will lead the Mets to the playoffs this year. Kennedy will lead the Yankees minor league affiliate to a win.

Consolidate Tampa and New York? Tampa did better then this clown.

I know more about analyzing baseball than any other Yankee fan here. This is not because I'm all that great, it's just the majority of the Yankee fans here are clueless. Stop making this about me versus you. I ask all Yankee fans who defend him....are we better off? Do you feel good about your chances next year? While the Red Sox have been far and away better at developing and drafting young talent, they have surpassed us for the near future. The Rays have also surpassed us, in both talent and their ability to maintain it until they lose them financially. Where the Yankees have Joba and Cano, the Rays have Longoria, Crawford, Prince, Kazmir, Shields. The Red Sox have Lowrie, Paps, Youk, Pedrioa, Ellsbury, Lester. They are both developing better players then we could dream of.

I will say this. I WANT the Yankees to develop their own stars, like Jeter, Bernie, Mo, Posada, Pettitte. However, if this guy is depending on signing free agents like CC and Tex and Sheets and everyone else...what's the point of keeping him? If he can't walk the walk, then it's time to get someone who understands. His plan is a good one. His ability in implementing it is terrible.

It's time to bring in someone who can draft and pull the trigger on deals that are not so one sided due to payroll that he can't help but win the deals. It's time to bring in a GM who understands pitchers, and signs the right ones, and draft one's that don't need surgery.

Stop making this about an argument between me and the Cashman lovers. We are on the same side. It's time to realize that the plan he has is good, but the implementation of it is poor. He has to go. Bring in someone who can do it, not just talk about it.
