I think most people probably believe that criticism is fine if it is narrowly tailored to a specific fact pattern.

I have no problem with criticism, but if I think you’re wrong, I will call you on it.

It may not be the case here, but the application of blinders go both ways.

~~~I’m glad Cashman has replaced Hughes who replaced Arod who replaced… as your pincushion, it was getting redundant.~~~

Ah, yes, the Yankees blinders crowd.

Yankees blinders, you know, the device that fits on your head, only allowing you to see good things (albeit real or wishful thinking) about the Yankees – while “blinding” (blocking out) anything from the hard factual world.

You can buy them, or, you can make them yourself (with Mommy’s permission, of course) out of cardboard using safety scissors and pipe cleaners.

Seriously, with the blinders crew, it really doesn’t matter. Say something about A-Rod, and you’re an A-Rod basher. Say something about Cashman and you’re…whatever.

The truth is, with you blinder people, it really doesn’t matter if I’m writing about A-Rod, Hughes, Cashman…or Jeter, or Torre, or Cano, or Abreu….it’s never going to sit well with you because…HEAVEN FORBID!…I’m saying something that’s NOT positive about a member of the Yankees organization.

Oh, the HORROR of such an act! I should be banned from the Internet AND Yankeeland for just thinking such thoughts!

Enough…let me go find a sword to throw myself on…in shame…and hope that the blinders crew will learn to forgive me for these sins.

I don’t understand how you can assign so much blame to a GM for not having developed more young pitchers when he has only had control over the farm system since 2005, especially when you then consider that from that time forward, he has accumulated more high end pitching talent than any other team in MLB.

The future’s so bright, you gotta wear shades (assuming that Hank doesn’t force him to make short-sighted trades).

Cash is quickly getting redundant too. Can we switch to Pavano for the week he’s causing us trouble?

Cashman at a nursing home. Scouting for pitching, no doubt.

Leave no stone unturned
