Jesus fucking Christ, Volpe is terrible.
He can't hit. He can't field consistently. David Cone says he works sooooo hard, he's really trying. I'll say he's trying. He's the most trying player on the goddamn roster.
He is now batting .190. McMahon is showing some signs of life, outhitting the hometown failure, while our catchers still can't hit for beans.
This can't go on. Volpe is getting worse, just as he has for three years now. And there's no injury excuse this time.
Boone is an idiot. Cashman is incompetent. Poor Volpe is just not a major leaguer, maybe he never will be, and what the Yankees have done to him by pushing him to this point is criminal.

You forgot the lead actor in this tragedy. HAL, as Mephistopheles.
He's the shadowy figure who's pulling the strings out of sight. Or is he playing God the clockmaker, who sets the workings in motion then steps back, uninvolved? And how many Hals can fit on the head of a pin? Or in Boone's case, pinhead?
The "trying" crack is pretty damned funny, JM! And Rufus, you're very right.
Hey, Volpe WAS a major leaguer! He got to play in a World Series, something, say, Ernie Banks never got to experience. And even though he helped to lose it for us, he had some big moments there, too. Fifty years from now—if there IS a fifty years from now—he can sit back and tell the grandchildren that he once hit a home run in the Fall Classic.
They won't care, being fans of the National Curling League by then. But still.
