Hey Ben, care to back up your assertion with any arguments? I repeat my position that the majority of free agent acquisitions under cashman have been flops, and expensive ones at that. The team is loaded with diva's and has not lived up to their hype. He is great at assembling paper tigers but paper teams don't win championships. Whats your point, you douche?

Feh. The only show in town is hosted by Omar and Willie. The candystripers with the ugly logo would be better off splashing paint on grafitti.

Besides the fact that SP doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, I'm really glad, Peter, to see some other folks taking up the "Yankees don't owe Bernie a roster spot" banner. I've been saying this for weeks. I love Bernie. He's the only Yankee for whom I owe one of those overpriced jerseys, but he simply isn't a viable player for this team anymore. He never was effective off the bench and his defense has eroded to the point that any team considering him for the outfield is foolish.

This all comes down to the fact that Brian Cashman SUCKS. He inherited a dynasty team from Gene Michaels and along with the meddling of Steinbrenner, has made one bad signing after another, resulting in this mess that is the Yankees. When A-Rod was signed, I knew it would be the nail in the coffin. Everyone knew it would end up this way except for the Kool-Aid drinking fools, same goes for Giambi, Sheffield and Johnson, and to a certain extent Wright and Pavano. Matsui and Mussina are the only two decent signings, and the Abreu deal was decent but otherwise, Cashman is running the team into the ground.
