Stand back, world, because plucky Hal Steinbrenner is reaching for the stars!


To dream the impossible dream.
To fight the unbeatable foe.
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To win the wild card under Joe...



So there you have it: Hank of La Mancha's 2017 impossible dream is to reach "the playoffs." Anything else is failure.


I wonder how his dad would have viewed that?

Considering the dynamics of the American League, to reach the magical 2017 wild card game will require at least finishing five games above .500.

Hal should be commended for dreaming big. But he doesn't, so he won't be.

Why did we let Robertson walk a few years ago? I forget. It was stupid. This is precisely what I mean by Cashman just churning players. He has no grand scheme. He's just shaking the bush. Let D-Rob go, replace him down the road with somebody else, bring D-Rob back. Why? Why not just keep him to start with?

It's just activity for the sake of activity with Cashman. Keep moving pieces around and sometimes you'll get lucky. Other times you give away future stars. Other times you get totally screwed. Other times, Todd Frazier, which is a whole separate category of wtf.

What's the point? It reminds me of my past career, writing marketing and advertising for business technology. Mostly software for corporations. I used to explain the history of it to people by saying, "Somebody markets something that will solve all your problems. Then it doesn't work. It never works. But other people come out with stuff you need to buy to make that first thing work. Which, of course, doesn't work, either. So then someone else comes along..."

Pretty much Cashman in a nutshell.

Tyler Austin called up, Garret Cooper develops mysterious hamstring injury.

We can't rule out Garret Cooper's hamstring being a copycat of Starlin Castro's. - Wolf Blitzer

Bryan Mitchell is so bad. It's like watching the coach's son pitch. If Grandyman was to play the Yankees 162 games a year he'd probably finish with 94 HR's 267 RBI's and an average around .500

God I hate the Grandyman. He is in Longoria/Ortiz territory when it comes to fucking the Yanks.

ME TOO LEINSTERY....

FRANCESA KEEPS BRAGGING ABOUT HOW GREAT GRANDERSON IS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS WATCHING.

GRANDERSON HAS PRETTY MUCH SUCKED FOR YEARS NOW.

HE EVEN SUCKED FOR US WHEN HE HAD THE 41 HOME RUN SEASON.

GRANDERSON WAS TODD CARTER, BEFORE TODD CARTER WAS TODD CARTER.

40 HOMER HITTER.... .230 OR LOWER HITTER.... TONS OF STRIKEOUTS.... LOUSY, LOUSY ARM...... NOT NEARLY CLUTCH ENOUGH...... NOT FOR US ANYWAY..... MET FANS CAN'T STAND HIM EITHER.

HE SUCKS.

One of my biggest fears is that Judge turns into the Grandyman.
