No, what I'm making the comparison to is the kid in school that seemed to have it all without being driven or talented enough to earn it on his or her own smoke. I myself went to high school with one kid in particular that had no athletic ability, no hidden talents and grades that would make him a scratch golfer! And despite the shortcomings on all fronts, he was accepted to Princeton (Early Admission). PRINCETON!!! This simpleton went to the Ivy League when he should've been playing catcher in a slow pitch softball beer league!! How? Why? A big bank roll that could buy away problems of ANY type.
Brian Cashman IS that same kid on the Major League level...only unlike my buddy Jimmy in High School, Cashman is an arrogant, analytic jerk off. There, I said it.
He had the foundation built by MASTERS (Stick Michael and Buck Showalter). He has money to burn and has tossed it on HOUSE FIRES like Pavano, Ellsbury and McCann, etc, etc, etc.
I believe Brian Cashman is a JOKE of a GM!! Look, Boonie is over his skis too, no question about that, BUT this is Cashman's ass 1st as far as I'm concerned.
The sad thing is Hal, Randy and Lon seem like they are just corporate stooges in most companies thinking, "F it. I'm rich and will stay that way. Why rock the boat?" I genuinely dislike that cabal of clowns.
The Boss would not only have canned this collection of company man cowards (Hal too), but he would also have had their houses in Vail torched and they would have all woken up with the heads of their prized stud horses lying next to them under their 1,000,000,000, thread count silk sheets!
Name one baseball move Brian Cashman made on his own that he's been right about. Do it. DO IT. His "tough guy" talk to Derek Jeter, remember that? He'll do the same to Aaron Judge. He is a mutt. A bank rolled mutt who thinks he's good at his job.
Remember he was still on the leash when he bought ARod and got the stacked crew for 2009. Cashman is complacent, has no baseball IQ and carries a weakly veiled contempt for the Yankee Fans. Show him the door. I hope he lands in Tampa, and they become doormats again because it'd be Cashman with no checkbook.
The Yankees didn't deserve to beat the ASStros. They didn't hit. They were mismanaged and lifeless aside from rock star Harrison Bader. It's on the players...but Cashman should hang for it. And he should before the Yankees offer Judge his deal. This hobbit has WAY overstayed his welcome.
The Yankees look and feel like the Yankees of the 80s again. Big Names, CRAZY money and no plan. Get Jeter and Donnie in here to turn this ship around. Sometimes you need to fix a baseball team with actual BASEBALL people and not these video game zeroes holding calculators, spreadsheets...and Daddy's checkbook in case they F it up royally.
Time for change.
This one's for you Brian!
SCREAM IT DICKY!!
