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?

Christian Garcia, for a full month without injury (thank goodness its a short month!)
El Duque gets it. He works here, right?
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...
Johnny Damon - for bailing out Detroit and not taking more money to play for NY.
Javier Vasquez, for showing his face.
Edwar Ramirez, for obvious reasons.
Kei ! Kei ! Kei !
"would reduce the award to the level of a meaningless monthly punchline, appreciated only by the super-elite Yankee fans who visit this site."
Isn't that the level of virtually everything posted on this site?.
