Some Other Guy: "You guys are fags."

Is this an emetic?

Slow day, Duque?

Snow day, Duque?

Is this what we should expect, on a daily basis, when the Yankees are out of contention by April?

How many words are there to describe Cashman;'s incompetence?

Only when the graupel is yellow.

Unfortunately, yes. I was trying to make a similar point the other day when I realized the only possibility for conversation about this team involved writing a follow-up to El Duque's fantasy piece about a snake's bowel movement. When it comes to talking about the Yanks, we're down to Champagne Powder and Snake Shit.

Ahhhhh, now you may be on to something. Maladroit?
