In 2017, the Yankee payroll stood at $226.4 million. This year, it was $193 million. That is an extra $33 million, which came from payroll and now lines Hal Steinbrenner's pockets.
duque, I know you've probably already read what Mike has to say about this over at RAB but get over there, if you haven't.
we will learn a lot about Hal's NYY during this Hot Stove. in short, we'll learn if we should continue to support this franchise with our hard-earned dollars...
He is not a fan. It's ALL about the money. Turns out, that's a really important metric to how a team does. A fan will go the extra mile, make sacrifices, do what it takes. A FAN WANTS TO WIN.
My guess - only a guess - is that Hal absolutely HATES the Yankees, but he knows where his bread is buttered, so he just sucks it up and does what he has to do.
Allcaps, I am a big fan of foxhole prayers. Trust me, though, when I assure you that they are not only NOT paying attention, but they are probably snickering into their Shirley Temples and saying "what does he know?"
Sorry ALL CAPS but THIS IS FUCKING IDIOCY THAT NEEDS TO GET CASH-ASS FIRED. What the fuck Boone "A's all around" are you kidding me.
You don't get "A's" all around when you bench your ROY for the last game of a crucial playoff game.
You don't get A's All around for shitty bullpen management.
You don't get A's all around when every player you coached regressed and your team that was virtually better on paper than last yrs version gets embarrassed at home and doest make it out of the division series.
I know I'm late on this thread, but ... given the choice of a $20 million profit and a world series title, or a $25 million profit and a fourth-place finish, Hal will take the latter every time. Without hesitation.
I really want the world to know about this great man who brought back happiness into my life again after my husband left me and the kids 3 years ago for another women online when i contacted Dr Believe he cast a love spell for me within 48 hours my ex husband start calling me and begging for forgiveness for everything that have happened between us. I was so happy to have my family back together with love again here is the email of Dr Believe via believelovespelltemple@gmail.com a man with the great powers you can also call him or add him on Whats-app: +2348156148821 God bless you I am very grateful for your help in my marriage.

We're doomed until he sells the team.
Exactly, 13bit. I mean, why WOULD you love an enterprise your father loved more than you and your siblings.
ReplyDeleteI can fully understand Hal not loving the Yankees. I just wish he would sell it off to someone—NOT the Dolans—and be done with it.
Instead, he'll keep it as his cash cow. But I guess that's his revenge on dad, too: "Hey, Dad, look at how I'm milking your sucky team!"
GETTING BACK TO THE BASEBALL END OF THINGS....
ReplyDeleteI AM WATCHING THE BREWERS/DODGERS GAME....
THIS GUY MUNCEY PURPOSELY SLAPPED A RUN SCORING BASE HIT TO THE OPPOSITE FIELD AGAINST A SHIFT... (MADE IT LOOK EASY).
BRIAN DOZIER JUST KNOCKED IN A RUN BY TOPPING A SLOW INFIELD SINGLE TO 3RD.
JOHN SMOLTZ SAID, "CONTACT, CONTACT, CONTACT. YOU CAN'T BRING A RUN HOME WHEN YOU'RE STRIKING OUT."
I AM PRAYING COOP AND BOONE ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

10 more URS of Boone....fuck that
So tired of all the winning
ReplyDelete@Joe F...Those are "As" because Boone said "Yes" or "Ok" every time Cash made a decision.
