The usual wave of crapola has begun

Here we go again...

 

What else is he going to say?

Would they tell us, "CC plans for another bad year!"

Would they say, "Adams refuses any role less than ace."

It does become tiring, relentless hope. I mean, I get it: Spring is around the corner, and every player is rebounding, every prospect a future star. We should embrace this madness, I suppose.

But I can't escape the feeling this year that we are being gamed. This truly is the winter of our discontent. Boston reigns as world champion in both football and baseball, while our owners pull out their pants pockets and plead poverty. Yes, you could say Yankee fans are spoiled, that we expect too much from the franchise. Used to be, that's what the Yankees stood for. 

Now, we stand one player - one free agent signing - away from returning to dominance, and instead, we are being spoon-fed garden variety hopetoids from the working press. The annual crapola process is restarting. Put on your boots.
