Duque, and others, have offered the reason why the Yankees have failed for 15 straight seasons.
It is due to the triad of Hal, Cashman and Boone.
Hal doesn't care. The stadium is sold out; the bobbleheads are popular and the jerseys still sell. Not to mention the TV and ( now ) streaming audience payments. He never really liked baseball anyway. He was always " the last guy picked" when kids chose " sides. "
Boone and Cashman define insanity. That being; when you keep doing the exact same thing but expect a different outcome.
Each year they give up on rookies ( Andujar et al ).
Each year they trade prospects and youth for sepia toned curriculum vitae.
Each year they are terrified to trade veteran players who have value( why is DJ still starting?).
Each year they draft poorly.
Each year they make a splash ( one) and feel that will do the trick.
Each year no one develops and remains a star.
Each year they sneak into the wild card playoff game and call it a season.
Each year Boone and Cashman get bonuses. For failing.

Francesa had a great rant the other day about Hal and the current state of affairs
Francesca is a big pompous, condescending a-hole, too.
You should check out Sour Shoes' calls to his show.
I disagree on one point:
The "brain trust" keeps doing the same thing hoping for the same results: profit. In their world that is considered sanity.
WE, on the other hand, keep coming back to the same shit every year hoping things are going to be different. THAT is insanity.
Well, it's not our money, as Hal might say, but it IS our souls, our dreams from a very young age, our memories, our love and fanaticism. However much George was a horse's ass at times, we all wanted the same thing - to win. George wanted to win. His soulless son, on the other hand, doesn't give a flying rat's ass.
As I have said before, Hal has murdered my inner child.
Yes, Mrs. Lincoln, but how did you enjoy the show?
Snooze you lose *
* comatose
Where the fork is eberybuddy?
Did I miss the game thread?
The beauty of the corporate box seats is that Hal makes money even if the stadium is empty. Throw in media money and advertising and the season is paid for.
For the rest of the seats, they have the tourist crowd. See a Broadway show. Catch a game at Yankee stadium against their hometown team. Bonus points if the hometown team win. Steinbrenner, Cashman and Boone have done their job.
And Hal's register goes Kaching!
Who needs Yankee fans?
Yawn. This must be their one game a week in which they tee off on crap pitching, then back to flailing and failing the next day.
Coney is gold: if a pitch goes to the box --
something along the lines of "Kay will take it off his forehead"
Steve,
I will still not be enough.
Ah, so then, tee off on crap pitching and absorb a butt pineapple anyway. THEN, back to flailing and failing the next day.
Our closer is AWFUL
(anyone else share this opinion) ?
Judge takes another 9th inning fastball for strike 3
Judge looks at strike three in the ninth. Again. It's just so odd
Well, at least LeMahieu didn’t ground into a DP.
Yawn. Losers.
Bad team is bad.
And…whoops, there goes another one.
And our illustrious leaders just do not care. As long as the money keeps rolling in.
We are a pack of junkies, scrounging along, desperate for another hit, which, for too many years, is not forthcoming.
Strung out and always coming back for more.
It’s the hope and the memories that kills us, and that is what those three c**ts count on.
It’s all right in front of us and we continue to ignore the obvious. It’s never going to get any better than this.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2024 New York Yankees.
Enjoy at your own expense.
Snatching defeat from....
They are actually starting to amaze me.
They are simply reverting to form.
This is like someone vomited in my Jamba Juice
It’s officially a rolling dumpster fire.
I just continue to hear “the sweater song” by Wheezer when this team plays…the slow unravel my be fun.
Fire Cashman. Trade Soto. Start over.
Throght it all, let's give Refsnyder a discreet fistbump. Cash couldn't kill him.
It's not that our closer stinks. We don't have a closer.
It's just Chinatown, Jake...
NYT sports reporter has a little fun:
“Tonight, they squared [Holmes] up, and we haven’t seen a lot of that,” Boone said of Holmes, who has a 7.15 ERA over his past 12 appearances.
Anyone want to finish my Jamba?
It might help my jet lag, which is seriously bad.
What has helped relieve your j-lag in the past, JM?
Sleep. Or going back home. Or a gallon of coffee.
Because the three putzs do not want to serve themselves up.
