Cashman: Mystique and Aura Now Dance At The Fens
Via mlb.com -
The Rays are counting on The Trop’s enthusiastic fans to help wash their mouths of the bitterness of Thursday’s defeat.
But the Hoo-Ray crowd won’t be able to match the Fenway faithful who, when the Red Sox began to stir with two outs in the seventh, bore out a recent comment by New York general manager Brian Cashman.
Cashman’s Bombers, of course, are fabled for getting assists from the Yankees ghosts when circumstances grow most dire.
“The Red Sox are the ones with the ghosts now,” Cashman had observed. “The last outs in Fenway are the toughest. The sound is incredible.”
Hey, there’s a school of thought out there that suggests the only thing that can exorcise spirits from a house is those that live there…
So, if the ghosts do now live in Fenway, it was Cashman & Crew who sent them there…
Now the 2004 ALCS is all Cashman’s fault? I suppose last night’s choke job by Tampa was Cashman’s fault too?
We’re all smarter than this. We should all know that there are no such things as ghosts. Teams win and lose; the supernatural doesn’t come into play.
Sure, there may be no such thing as ghosts…
But, perception is reality – and, if the visiting teams think they’re there…then they exist, no?
was last night’s loss the fault of tampa bay’s GM?

ROFL cheap shot
These superstitious Yankee people talking about ghosts again…whatta bunch of morons! Thing with Fenway is this: the crowd is very close to the field. That crowd makes itself known in a way no other club’s crowd can. Yeah, the happy dicks at Wrigley can but don’t know how to be as annoying as Bostonians! Terry Francona has stated that it is the best homefield advantage in baseball. That crowd last nite egged the team on, even when they were tanking. I give them credit for that as loathsome as some of them are.
Someone tell Cash Man that Bill James is not a ghost but a real person. Also tell him that Theo has good character guys who are gutty and gritty in his youth movement. Tito is a great manager with a bunch of hard charger whereas the Yankees are a bunch of aging veterans .
One last thing: tell Cash Man that a crowd is not a ghost. I saw how the ghosts came out in 2004, the Yanks tanked with the help of the ghosts. Cash Man needs to hire a smart guy like BIll James and forget about the ghosts…….
BTW, FWIW, I just have to do write-ups for 5 more Yankees pitchers and then I should be done with my book commitment…for those keeping score at home…wondering what I’ve been up to and why I’ve been kind of quiet here.
haha no cheap shot. i just want to know what GM’s are and are not responsible for, so that we can apply a baseball-wide standard to what GM’s do with the resources they have. whatever cashman is or is not resposible for here, i just want to make sure we apply the same responsibility, or lack thereof, to all GMs.
what is ROFL?
