Damn...
Today, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed - the glass half-empty, the world off-kilter, the Matrix glitched, the ghosty world around me whispering, "Quiet, quiet, Piggy."
I look at the Yankees and see the apocalypse.
Armageddon outahere.
Ten reasons to fear what's coming. in 2025.
2. That means Cooperstown Cashman must improve the Yankee roster through trades.
3. To do so, Cashman will have to give up the only things other teams covet - the Yankees' best youngish prospects.
4. The Yankees blew up their farm system last August at the trade deadline. They will have a hard time matching other teams' prospect packages.
5. To get anybody of quality, they will have to deal Anthony Volpe, Jasson Dominguez, Spencer Jones - maybe even Ben Rice and/or Cam Schlittler.
6. Of these players, only Jones and Schlittler might be at their peaks as trade chips. Volpe and Dominguez had disappointing seasons in 2025.
7. For the last three years, Aaron Judge has played relatively full seasons without injuries. Eventually, that luck will run out.
8. Giancarlo Stanton will be 36. He hasn't hit 30 HRs in a season since 2022. He is not getting younger.
9. There is no guarantee that Gerrit Cole, at 35, will be the same pitcher he was before surgery.
10. The AL East will be baseball's toughest division in 2025. The Redsocks wave of prospects will be peaking, Toronto is here to stay, and one of these years, all that talent in Baltimore will coalesce.
Mamdani is said to hate the Yankees. NYC is ready to become a Met town.
The days are still getting shorter.

Pull his finger
And from that Sphincter
The stench will plume
And it will linger
Until everyone
Flees the room

Now more than ever. Nixon/Agnew '72
does 2026 even matter given a high likelihood of work stoppage? no money spent next year = more dumpster diving for hal and cash for 2027+. every $ spent or unspent this offseason needs to be placed in the vein of manfred v. mlbpa.
El Duque....Congrats on your Presidential Pardon!
Famous quote: " Nixon....pull out, like your old man should have!"
Is this from the Bard of Avon?
We are on the Titanic and the band is taking a break…
Anyone want a cup of Joe ?
Brewing slow
But soon
It’ll be ready
Will need both hands
To hold it steady
…nearer my Hal to thee
Don't change Dicks in the middle of a screw!
Vote for Nixon in '72
Cripes, there's not even a Giants game on today. Goddamn Monday Night Football.
Mattingly's Mustache is correct. Given the work stoppage we expect in '27, we shouldn't do anything. No trades, no free agents, no nothin'. Well, Bellinger, but otherwise. Why bother?
Cole won't be Cole ever again. Rodon won't be, either. Not that he ever was.
Let's let all the older guys get older and enjoy what may be their last years on the field. If they get 2026 off, they're going to be really, really old.

62 Covers remaining in the year. Knicks are nine back.
You guys are looking at this lockout thing backwards. Owners are not liable for payroll during a strike or a lockout. Spreadheet Hal has already calculated this and will encourage 2 year FA contracts, with the most generous provisions in year 2. (Only performance bonuses, though based on games played.) Problem solved!
Then Hal, Randy and Lonn will be out there with picket signs, shouting 'no justice, no peace!' It will be a good year for gardening and watching kid sports.
eVENTUALLY THIS WILL KICK THE yANKEES IN THE ASS. tHEY HAVE THEIR EXCUSES READY.
But Cold might be Sasha and Rodon might be Barbie...
