As long as we’re all speculating and before actual things happen, none of which we will like BTW, it seems like a good time to play “What if…” So here goes…
What if…
Theo Epstein, after taking a year off, takes over for Brain.
I know that he specializes in cursed franchised with 100-year
title droughts, but we haven’t won since 2009 and it will be the 2022 season.
In Yankee Years that’s just like
100. It would work for me because Brain
would be gone and sure, why not? At a minimum it
would give us a back page or two.
Would Brain leave? (No,
I will not succumb to doing political humor. We all promised. My word is my
bond.) So…
What if…
The next time Brain rappels down that building he has, lets
just call it, some difficulty, and while unscathed he comes to the realization
that life is both short and a precious gift and that he’s been in a rut lately
and the job has become mundane. Pick up
a #3 starter here, pretend to pursue a big free agent there, talk about how competitive
the product is. He can phone it in at this point and probably does.
This near-death experience changes his world view. He looks
in a mirror and sees a man dressed as an elf. Ironic, as “Elf” was his nickname in middle
school. He vows to pursue new horizons
and like magic a vacancy appears just in time for Theo. But first Brain trades
for a passel of mediocre starters so as not to leave the cupboard bare.
While we are waiting for the above scenario…
What if…
John Sterling retires and is replaced by Hank Azaria doing
Brockmire and the ratings go up so much that the Yankees get a windfall of
advertising dollars and go out and sign Lindor.
And last,
What if…
Domingo German gets to pitch in an actual MLB game and … Never mind, too far fetched.

A man with the early teenage nickname of "elf" isn't going to go anywhere. Not willingly. Btw, I saw that Cano got a 162 game suspension for 'roids, his second offense. I remember reading back in the "single digits" that he had a 52" chest. That SCREAMED 'roids, especially because he came up as a second baseman. Funny thing, roughly five years ago I noticed that Ortiz, Cano, and Melky were all hitting in a horrible slump, HORRIBLE. Then suddenly, they all came out of it together. I believe that their trusted supplier from the DR (hell, maybe from the States) had "problems". NFW does Ortiz belong in the Hall. But Gammons will shill for him. And he'll get in. And I will leave my hand over a burning candle.
Kevin, the criteria for the Hall now seems to be, "Were you a nice guy in the clubhouse and in public?"
Ortiz was, and will get in. Manny and A-Rod annoyed the writers in various ways, and will not.
Jogginson is easy going enough—but getting caught twice is just too much.
Horace, sadly you are right. The new era of "righteousness" has been building for over thirty years now.....
If Brockmire starts doing Yankee games, I'm getting a new radio. Bigger. Louder.
