This off-season is going to be JUST as successful and gratifying as the 2026 season was, maybe more so!!! Strap your seatbelts on, kiddies! We're going for a car ride down Bullshit Lane.

How about a cover of "Baby, You're A Rich Man" where you change only the word "Baby" for "Harold"?

Some interesting news:

The Yankees aren’t renewing the contracts Omar Minaya and Brian Sabean, who served as special assistants to GM Brian Cashman, via sources. Minaya is the former Mets GM, Sabean the Giants GM in their heyday.

Belt tightening.

Wouldn't be surprised to see everything get cut, dumped, trashed, canned. The only survivors of this purge before the Great Lockout will be Cashman, Boone, Stanton & the cockroaches that live inside the walls of Yankee Stadium.

They were brought in as a countervalence to the top- heavy reliance by Cashman on analytics. I guess analytics won. If Hal had any baseball brains, which he clearly doesn't, he would have canned Cashman and replaced him with the other Brian- Sabean. Who only won 3 WS in a decade.

You forgot the hot dog eating rats.

HAL's on a Low Budget, courtesy of The Kinks:

Cheap is small and not too steep
But best of all cheap is cheap
Circumstance has forced my hand
To be HAL, Cash and Boone in a low budget land
Times are hard but we'll all survive
I just got to learn to economize

I'm on a low budget
I'm on a low budget

I think Brian was caught fondling LOLA in a Manhattan tranny bar.

Language changes quickly in our culture. If you said in the 80s that you "blew a tranny," people would assume it was a car-related issue.
But now...

And this is how it all began, according to the Beatles:

I asked HAL what he wanted to be
He said, "Cashie, can't you see?
I wanna be rich, without payin' tax
But you can do something for me in between"

Cashie, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Cashie, you can drive my car
And I won't pay no tax-xes

I told that HAL that my prospects were good
And he said, "Cashie, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"

Cashie, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Cashie, you can drive my car
And I won't pay no tax-xes

Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!

Cashie, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Cashie, you can drive my car
And I won't pay no tax-xes

I told that HAL I can start right away
When he said, "Listen, Cash, I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start"

Cashie, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Cashie, you can drive my car
And I won't pay no tax-xes

Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!

Or Baby, You Can Drive My Car. (See below)

Ever since watching that scene in the movie "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka", where the hometown war hero takes home a hottie from a bar, I'm kind of skittish about fondling anyone in a bar.

I got a little change in my pocket
Going jing a ling a ling
Call you on the telephone baby
Give you a ring
But each time I call
Always the same old thing
Always no hugging hugging seeing
Til I get a wedding ring
My honey my baby
Don't put my love upon a ship
She said "Don't give me no lines
And keep your hands to yourself"

“ 10. Leaves fan base okay with impending lockout”

That says it all, I think…

Happy Halloween all you Ghouls! 👻👻👻👻

AI won. Commonsense lost and they added another rich white guy from Rutherford, NJ., Frank Herrmann. Harvard grad.

Rutherford stats
Median household income $136,069
Median family income $193,984
Graduate or professional degree - 23.2%

Baseball Stats
A relief pitcher for parts of 4 seasons. He won 5 games. lost 3. ERA 4.72. -0.2 war.

But he's a rich white guy, with a Harvard pedigree, who probably believes AI is god. So, he's imminently qualified to lead us to greatness, unlike those useless schlubs, Sabean and Minaya, who only win World Series, and don't believe AI is god.

Loved it when that album came out.

edb said...

11, Fire Sabean and Minaya, who actually know something, once again extend Genius Cashman who is a putz and continue to piss on Yankees fans legs and tell them it is raining.

More from Joel Sherman:

I also hear long-time Yankees scouts Tommy Wilson and Pat Murtaugh (retiring) will not be back, and that former MLB pitcher Frank Herrmann (recently working for the Blue Jays) was hired as supervisor for global evaluation/player development integration.
