Get The Hook

Brian cashman has a huge bulls eye on him now. The Boss has spoken in no uncertain terms.

Despite constant speculation about manager Joe Torre's job, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner says someone else also needs to deliver as the team looks to reverse its floundering start: general manager Brian Cashman. "He's on a big hook," a spirited Steinbrenner told The Associated Press referring to his GM. "He wanted sole authority. He got it. Now he's got to deliver."

Well Brian,as they say, be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

ESPN Shilling For Clemens

One has to wonder if ESPN is getting a publicity fee for shilling for Roger AKA The Merenary Clemens. They are fawning all over themselves from the ESPN baseball analysts to Mike Golic who is also a shill for Notre Dame. No fair and balanced on this network.

Roger Clemens Is An Arrogant Mercenary

ESPN and its analysts are having orgasms over the fact that Roger Clemens is going to play ball for the Yankees. The simple fact is that Clemens is no more and no less a paid whore. He will play for whoever will give him the most money. And ESPN has not asked how a forty-five year old is still pitching the way he is. He is an arrogant jerk who has no allegiance to anyone.

I Will Pump You Up

Yankee GM Brian Cashman finally listened and pulled the plug on the team's recently-hired and unfortunately-titled performance enhancement coach, Marty Miller. Cashman had been described as the "last man standing" in Miller's corner. But even he couldn't be certain the rash of injuries were all coincidence. "At the end of the day, you can't ignore the number of hamstring injuries we've had," he said.

Cashman tried to give the new program a chance, but when young phenom Phil Hughes popped his hamstring while in a no-hit bid Tuesday night, that was an attention getter. That made it injuries to six of the team's seven top starters, the exception being Kei Igawa, who actually had been demoted from the rotation.

Shafted

Steve Swindal,George Steinbrenner's son-in-law, was to take over the Yankees eventually but the reality is that almost certainly won't happen, now that Swindal and Steinbrenner's daughter plan to divorce. After all is said and done, he maybe lucky to get into Yankee Stadium.
