I'm willing to admit it.
Every now and then, my faith gets a little shaken.
Every now and then, over the course of the long season, when the Yanks go on a spree like their 7-1 start this season, a seed of doubt creeps in.
Every now and then, when they play like that, I find myself thinking things such as, Gee willikers! Could it be this team is for real? 7-1, and Judge isn't even hitting, and half the lineup's batting under .200. Look-ee that pitching, and we ain't even got Cole or Rodon or Gil back yet. Could it be...?
I'm not too proud to tell you, it unsettles a man.
Could it be that I really DON'T know more about baseball than the general manager of the greatest sports franchise in North American history? Could it be that he's been right all along...no, that can't be...all right, that he's LEARNED something in all those decades running this team?
Could it be that it was just a matter of getting the breaks?
Then along comes a week like this one, and all is right with the world again. (At least, you know, until that world blows up.)
He is Cashman.
He restoreth my faith. He leadeth me to green pastures, where I can once again take the Yankees about as seriously as I do the New York Knickerbockers or the Rangers.
He leaveth me to contemplate the terrifying things that the Great Humongous will do to us all.
Somehow, it's still more entertaining than watching the Yankees play the Run It Back season.

Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I'm the Cash-man, yeah, I'm the Cash-man
Any predictions about this Tampa series? I think Yanks lose 2 of 3.
Duque is right. The annual collapse has come early this year!
A cluster of us predicted 83 wins. That might've been too optimistic. If Cashman keeps this lineup for the entire year, could be 53 wins. This could be the year of the Yankee nuclear meltdown. What do they call it, the China syndrome? Where total meltdown burns its way all the way through the earth's core to China!
