oh, yes you can.  That's his problem.  

Whatever Girardi's telling them ain't working.

And yes, it IS a manager's job to keep the team focused. A computer can make out lineups.

I wouldnt expect Joe G to toss his players under the bus in a post game news conference. I have to belive that behind closed doors, theres wheels spinning. W/ all the injuries however, his options are very limited.

someone needs to be flippin over desks right now for sure. 

+1

The way the system goes Kevin Long will be fired any day now.  There will be a shakeup on the roster.

This is ruining my, well, life.

If the weatherman said it be pouring rain today, would your life be ruined if you woke up in the morning to a thunderstorm? It's been clear the past couple years now this team is being duct-taped together. The head office is going cheap, too many high-priced and under-producing players, too many over-the-hill and AAAA level guys... Relax and enjoy the team and season for what it obviously is, that would be my advice.

Obsession with Kuroda? You are either mis-informed or delusional. 

Do you know what makes me baffled? That a person like you, who has been on this Board for a while still does not understand the "one year deal."

Stop playing your guitar hard and loud and try to figure this out because I am not impressed.

Maybe in my disgust over last night's game I overstated my point, bats.  I only meant Cashman really wanted to land him at the deadline last year as well.  I wan't commenting on length of the contract or committment, one year is no big deal, just that for more than a year Cash had his sights set on the guy.  And I can't figure out why.  Of course it's only been a 1/4 of the season.  All I've seen, though, is at best a mediocre pitcher.

(But I can't stop playing my guitar loud.  It's rock 'n' roll, dude!)
