I don't know them, I don't respect them, and their "corroboration" means f***-all because at the end of the day, they don't know s*** and are likely just regurgitating what some other equally-clueless gimoke told them.
The bolded part though, that's funny... that's exactly what you have too!
You haven't proved a single mother f***ing thing. Journalists get it wrong all the f***ing time. They're professional bullshitters. And they also just repeat what they're told. Do you really f***ing believe that just because "my hero" (?) Gammons and Shaughnessy weren't aware of the Yankees involvement, that makes it fact? If so, you are hopeless. The only thing I have to say to you is pull your head out of the sand.
The Yankees were involved with Teixeira the whole way. They had no reason not to be. He was a logical, if not necessary, signing for them all along. Connect the f***ing dots on your own for once, stop piggybacking on the opinions of scouts, journalists, and whoever else you approve of to do your thinking for you.
What the hell are you talking about?
