i think next winter the Yanks..
instead of poaching Free Agents from other teams... (if Yanks miss playoffs)
will make the smarter move of trying to poach
one of the more creative GMs from the teams
that seem to do more with less, year after year..

The Red Sox went after Billy Beane (as documented in Moneyball)
they didn't get him but copied that brand.. and did very well..
Three World Series in 9 yrs.

The Yanks have the problem of overpaying everyone..
once you have a several or majority of players at premium salaries,
difficult to coax other top FAs to get on board without accepting
something commensurate with the rest of team.

People need to stop mistaking very expensive for very good.

If the Yanks make the playoffs this year, Cashman is ok.
If they don't.. he is OUT.

[Ratzz]

i called this way back in April....

CAshman is gonna get canned... Yanks no playoffs... this year, or next year..
and Cashman (even with all that cash) is called O-U-T at home

putting this kinda of money in... and all those trades.. and still nothing.

yikes

But thats the American way lol

[Ratzz]

lol... what is really great about this Titanic sized disaster... is that it demonstrates to all,
that you need to be very intelligent, and insightful to assemble a great team..

the days of just rolling out the dough are gone. GM need to be smart, creative, as well
as good poker players

Amen to that. it's about time

[Ratzz]

But thats the American way lol

indeed sir, i meant to quote this in previous post

[ZIPPER HEAD]

You care to put a friendly wager on that? Cash man is going no where bro

[ZIPPER HEAD]

On a side note when giradi retires guess who will be manager for yanks?????? JETER

[Ratzz]

Cashman is terrible. no insight whatsoever..
Yanks would be smart to "can the cash-man"

i think he deserves to be gone..

but given how stupid the brass is.. pretty good chance he stays

[Ratzz]

On a side note when giradi retires guess who will be manager for yanks?????? JETER

forget it.. Jeter already can't stand the games.. i can tell you for a fact, he is DONE with sitting
in a dugout. He will invest IN a team.. he will not spend time at ballparks in a uniform.

Zero chance of that

I hate the Yankees but Pineda is a stud..Has great motion, can throw strikes, elusive...Probably has a blob of brown goop on him somewhere however.

They showed a graphic of all the Yankee acquisitions late in the season so far, they've added guys who for the most part have been pretty good. Credit to the decision makers there. I may not be thrilled with how my Red Sox office has performed as of late, but the Yankees are always a threat to be the world's most expensive train wreck..pulling for the O's!

100% agreed, I love it. It was so interesting...the year after Boston dumps all their high priced players, they win the world series

[Pauulzcappin]

very bold prediction

[RavensFan2k3]

very bold prediction

LOL i meant they won the world series hahahaha

[Pauulzcappin]

LOL i meant they won the world series hahahaha

I was talking about OP, he always rambles on a fukkton on his thread and tells something pretty much everybody knows like Lebron is the best player in the NBA

then he tries to make a prediction like that miami was winning the finals last year, gets completely destroyed then leavesq

love the Oriole vibe...!! Go O's!!

i love any team with a resourceful GM,
who manages to put together a great team with a small team payroll
(against all odds)

they are just fun teams, the players get into it, like NCAA tournament
they really play their hearts out

love that

[Ratzz]

pretty sure the Rays will surpass the Yanks, maybe this weekend.
definitely by beginning of September

looks like 4th Place for the A.L.'s top payroll

[Ratzz]

Yanks lost again 5-0 in game 1 against the Rays

people here in NYC are seriously talking about Cashman... lot of peeps want him out now..

[Ratzz]

The Yanks are garbage.. but no one is to blame more that their stupid fans..
these guys 'actually' believed that this team was going to be good...
and that you don't need to do anything to win a World Series except shell out a ton of money.


yes. Yankee fans. The Yanks have to do your homework too.. this team is hilarious.
The best part of last nights game was watching the lame Yankee faithful,
get up and leave .. even as Carter was rounding the bases!!!

LOL, they KNEW it was 'O-V-A-H'


..and it certainly was... 1-2-3 went the "Mighty Yankees"


too funny..

[Ratzz]

wow.. lost Game 2 to the Astros...

Astros are now only 19 games under .500
coming into the series.. a whopping 21 games Under

Go Cashman

[Ratzz]

oops. forget it. Yanks demolished the Astros... Yanks going all the way looks like.

and celebrated with Gatorade showers after the game!!!! (McCarthy recipient)

** i did not know that it was customary to celebrate with Gatorade
after avoiding sweeps to last place teams.. at Yankee Stadium


Team Payroll American League 2014

No.1 NY Yankees $210 Million

No.15 Houston Astros $45 Million

[Ratzz]

wow.. the Yanks just keep on giving.. and giving... and giving...

before losing to the Bee-Jays 2-0 (1 hit) yesterday..
Derek Jeter, when asked about the 2nd wildcard spot..

responded that they were still aiming for the Division title–

It looks like the entire team pee'd in the barrel???

lol.. after losing today again to the Bee-Jays,
Girardi says if they want to win the Division, they better start winning!

[Ratzz]

glad to see Boston up 7-1,
they need this game much more than the Yanks

if the Red Sox are going to get back in the race, this series is a must-win

[Ratzz]

looks like i was right AND wrong..1) Yanks will definitely miss the playoffs for the second year in a row (hilarious cosindering their resources)2) Cashman job is 100% safe (new reports) which is awesome. that meant this will go on-and-on for as long as he is there, and maybe a handfulof years after he leaves. The days of buying an instant winner are over.

You serious who would do a better job than Cashman in NY? with the pressure and everything else he's done a good job most others would fail

[Ratzz]

i love the Yanks

they bring me so much pleasure
