The curtain opens on a confident smiling Brian Cashman giving a press conference...
----
Reporter One: Brian, the Yankees barely finished over .500 and didn't make the playoffs.
Reporter Two: Yeah, what's the plan?
Cashman: What's the plan? Why, I can tell you the plan in one word! Yamamoto.
Yamamoto (To the Tune of Oklahoma)
YAAAH -ma-mo-to is the guy the fans will come to see.
We will pay big cash from our secret stash.
And we’ll sign him till twenty-thirty-three!
--
YAAAAAA-Ma-moto will be ours in just a couple days.
Because Hal's not cheap. We will take the leap and …
Oh shit, he just signed with LA.
We know now we have to change the plan.
Since we just lost the ace from Japan.
--
But we don’t laaaack.
Cause Rodon’s coming baaaack.
And we traded for Juan Soto.
That’s Juan Soto...
Y-A-N-S-O-T-O
Juan Soto!
No plan B.
I found myself singing along.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug.
Ca$h just grabbed his #3 starter, Tanner Tully. He had a 2.92 ERA in the KOREAN Baseball League. It was close to 6.00 in triple A, but the Yankees are hoping to get some games in against the KBL teams this year.
ReplyDeleteDoug, I'm lining up backers now! Broadway by this fall (not any playoffs, though.).
ReplyDeleteJust sorry I missed out on The Prisoner today. Loved that show. Also, Secret Agent Man, with a great theme song written by...a teenager, right?
ReplyDeleteSo, looks like no Marcus Stroman. Which is very good—we already have a pitcher who likes to insult the fans. And Tanner Tully. Wasn't he already in the organization last year? But hey, glad we got him back from the NC Dinos. Not to be confused with Dino the Dinosaur...stop me, I'm rambling here.
Super-charge the bullpen! Man the bulwarks! Option Peraza! Uh...something.
Oh, and: Good luck on the exams.
