and again, you are wrong.

Your argument is against the person, not the person’s argument. That’s an ad hom. You’re saying ‘he was very wrong about X, so now I think he’s wrong about Y because he was so dumb about X.’

you can continue to think what you want but it is wrong and misguided. but hey, everyone makes mistakes

Not sure I get what you mean. Who are the next potentially good starters? or who fills their role in the bullpen? It would seem we have prospects like Betances, Brackman, et. al. filling the prospect slots and then hopefully a strong stream of bullpen options constantly coming out of the minors.

Also meant to add that not having to spend on starters allows us to spend more money on free agent position players, where injury is less of a scary proposition and money is more often well spent. Once again, almost like Cashman planned it.

I would not expect it. YES is basically owned by George Steinbrenner, therefore it would not be in the best interest of those that produce shows to say much negetively about George Steinbrenner. This would be because he might get mad and fire someone. On the other hand, maybe he wouldn’t mind as long it was treated fairly and showed that maybe he’s grown and now feels he is a better person. Mostly though, I tend to agree with you on this because it doesn’t seem like a station that is owned by someone wouldn’t want said show to make him look bad. But I could be wrong. Most likely I’m not though. Still there have been those times where I’ve been wrong. Not this time though.

It would be the rough equivalent of Michael Kay refusing to copulate with The Captain.

Monty Burns: GET ME STEVEN SPIELBERG AT ONCE!
Smithers: He’s not available, sir.
Burns: THEN GET ME HIS NON-UNION MEXICAN EQUIVALENT!

New reports are emerging that George contacted Steven Spielberg in February about a biographical movie that would eligible for the 82nd Academy Awards, but quickly reverted to calling Clint Eastwood after the former proposed casting notorious liberal Alec Baldwin to play the part of the Boss in his earlier days.

Associates say Steinbrenner dreamed of a movie that would rival Ray and Schindler’s List.
