It is time to take nominations for February Yankee Employee of the Month


To the Yankiverse:
It is with the saddest of sadnesses, that I must report in recent days, a movement toward attempting to make a mockery of the most august of augustive traditions within this website: The Yankee Employee of the Month.
.
Several people -- I name no names here, because that's the way I am -- have sought to trumpet Kei Igawa for yet another month of exalted status. Igawa's victory, in essence, would reduce the award to the level of a meaningless monthly punchline, appreciated only by the super-elite Yankee fans who visit this site.
.
This must not occur.
.
People... we owe it to the Yankees, Yankee fans, Yankee bloggers and yes -- even typical Yankee haters such as the mad Anthrax killer (see below) -- to run an honest election.
.
I will put Kei Igawa on the ballot. I will do this because I believe that free speech is the backbone of democracy, which is the cornerstone of freedom, the bulwark of all hope.
.
But I ask you now... WHO DESERVES TO BE... FEBRUARY.... YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH?

  3. Nominations:

    Nick Swisher (for cutting his hair)

    Brett Gardner (for growing his hair)

    Jesus Montero (for consistently hitting the ball to the heavens)

    Carl Crawford (for waiting until the off-season to talk about his contract w/ TB b/c he secretly wants to become a NYY)

    Chan Ho Park (for crowding an already crowded bullpen)

    I think the Montero one is my favorite...

    Isn't that the level of virtually everything posted on this site?.
