Yankeetorial: Is there an Employee of the Month Curse?

Are we hurting love ones whom we wish to honor?
.

Since launching YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH in January, there have been five recipients of the prestigious, non-monetary award.
.
Is it a curse? You decide.
.
Last month: Chien-Ming Wang. (OUT)



The previous month: Shelley Duncan (GONE)

The previous month: Phil Hughes (OUT)


The previous month: Hank Steinbrenner (VAGUELY COHERENT)


And the current Employee of the Month, Jason Giambi: HOT, BUT FOR HOW LONG?

Excellent insight.

I think the editorial board needs to meet at Dinosaur and decide. Do they have a bar there?

"Do they have a bar there?"

I nominate Willie Randolph, retroactively!

Let's play it safe and go with Farnsworth for this month. If the curse holds true, I think we can all live with that.

DAMMIT.

Every single month, we've put up Igawa as a candidate. Nobody voted for him.

Do we want to improve the guy's trade value or not?

I'd nominate Tom The Bumb but he seems to be MIA

How many times am I allowed to vote for Igawa?

And, can I have my dead relatives vote for him that many times also?
