Agree with this. The difference is I think this can be true and a-rod DA INSUFFERABLE fakkit gawd can still be a big part of the problem.
This whole pity party for a-rod is a joke to me. The failings of all these other cats doesn't let a-rod's lame ass off the hook. He looks lame at the plate, and he's enough of an insufferable fakkit behind the scenes for the team to treat him like he's dipped in the ebola virus. I gives -943 fukks about him sitting on the bench. That said, I would've pinch hit him for Ibaniez vs. Coke the other night.
All this hate for Cashman I'm reading is comical. He made plenty of savvy decisions this season, and I'm not about to blame him for Pineda's shoulder being more unstable than an old school G.I. Joe toy.
I said it when they were 10 games up in the East, and I'll keep saying it: this is one of the least likeable team the Yanks have had in my lifetime. I'll take the Claudell Washington, Mike Pagliarulo, Mel Hall, Dennis Rasmussen squads over these for sheer watchability. There are several players on this team who inspire the faces from me almost every time I see them at bat or in the field.
Jeter needs to ride off into the sunset while he's still a hero. I know he won't, because his ego is probably bigger than Prince Fielder's gut, but he really needs to call it a career while the getting's good.
I still love Robbie Cano, as inexcusable as his postseason has been.
CC is a boss. Our pen is cool with me. Raul cooked for us even when we refused to eat.
Andruw Jones, please take your fat ass to China and vogue battle Smush Parker.
Nick Swisher, hope you land in San Diego where the weather is so nice and the citizens are so dulled by the beautiful weather and the ultraconservative ethos that they'll never, ever jeer your bytch ass.
Noony, take 10,000 grounders a day and we can be good money.
Destroy and Rebuild time. It might take a few years to really have a revamped squad, but it stats now. And the AL East will still be up for grabs, because Boston is retooling, Baltimore had a fluke season, and Toronto is Toronto.

What about Ed Whitson and Dan Pasqua?
