    I think the gods are punishing jacko for being so mean about the Sox.

    This is what happens when you field a team full of fragile flowers. You then spend big on another fragile flower. You don’t address the biggest issue on the team. You trade for a shitload of fragile flowers and deplete your farm. And then all the fragile flowers get hurt. Cashman has to go. He took a front running, top of the line team at the deadline and went “all-in” on second rate guys who were either hurt on arrival (Bader, Montas) or got hurt right away. He has to go

    How about a Bloom to go with those fragile flowers?

    Add into the mix the fact that Stanton's injury was self-inflicted, and Judge's (arguably) was, too.

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    All this fragile glut has been pointed out over and over. You are a Yankee fan, so I don't blame you for feeling confident in March, but you and others, including Sox fans "drank the Kool-Aid" on the Yankee projections. Now that what was always there has become obvious, changes need to be made.

    Boone and Bloom both drive the GM trend of acquiring damaged goods. Antique cars sell cheaper if they need restoration.

    The problem is a lot of them sit in garages too long waiting for the proper parts.

    The Yankees also made a mistake in recent years by becoming too right handed. The formidable Yankee teams of the past always had more balance in the lineup , with plenty of left handed pop.
    Old school is good school.

    You’re not wrong. My biggest critique of Cashman was not adding offense. And now we cannot hit at all

    As bad as things are now it's still only one month of the season. And for as bad as things have looked its not like the team has totally cratered (.500 isn't good but considering the injuries not sure we could've expected a lot better). The division being so good makes it harder to cope with. I can't say I'm overly optimistic considering the lineups they've been trotting out there on a daily basis but I've learned from prior seasons that things generally aren't as good (Rays/O's) or bad as they seem in April.

    No timetable for Rodon due to ongoing back issues.

    I didn't mean to imply Yankee fans are correct in their criticisms.
