[Boom_70]

Guess he was upset at getting booed last year at Yankee Old Timers day.

How did he throw the Yankees under the bus? This is a journalism site, you know?

"The psychotics that obsessed about it all day yesterday, I think we all did them a favor by keeping them off the street and preventing them from hurting others," Cashman said, referring to the bloggers.

Awesome ...

Sorry - I did not realize that he was working at the time. My bad.

Say what you want about the Yankees' payroll, but they do try.

Cashman has been awfully frisky of late.

Signaling pitch speed?
The Yankees have so much dough they pay someone to tell them what the rest of us can find out for free by looking at the scoreboard (or nearby).

I believe there was some issue where the scoreboard pitch speed machine was not functioning.

I heard that it was saying that every pitch was 912 mph.

Maybe Sidd Finch was out there.

I mentioned this on the running baseball thread. Cashman really has been running his mouth more of late, though it isn't completely new. As a baseball fan, I stopped liking the guy two years ago when he actually whined about the pressure of being a GM of a team with such a massive payroll. He basically said the small-market team GM's would never want the pressure he's under.

Boo-****ing-hoo.

I guess you didn't read the rest of the story. It said the radar gun on the scoreboard wasn't working.

I don't understand what the fuss is. Most teams have had someone monitoring pitch speed since Fernando and Mike Brito. Communicating it is a problem? Communicating it with hand signals is a problem? Or maybe its like the sideline phones in football, if both teams don't have access to the info - nobody does. But then again, it is baseball with rules written and unwritten that seem designed to make fans laugh. Though golf has a few dumb ones too.

You are correct. I wasn't interested enough in the Yankees and certainly not Olberman to read very far.

You said it, buster. They can get away with sweeping corpse after corpse under the rug. The guy's nothing special, and has been handed the Golden Ticket. Do your job, and quit the self-aggrandizing bull****.

"Certainly sir. That'll be 76 dollars."

Hell the guy is in an $800 seat. He can afford it.

Think the real story that went unnoticed, Hideki Irabu is sitting about 4 rows behind the guy.

It's not as if the employee is taking away a seat from a paying fan.
