• Brian Cashman Gets His Parachute

    Posted by on March 1st, 2013 · Comments (23)

    Yankees G.M. Brian Cashman will participate in a tandem jump with the U.S. Army Golden Knights on Monday, March 4, at the Homestead Air Reserve Base outside of Miami. It’s to raise awareness for The Wounded Warrior Project.

    Hey, jumping out of a plane is a lot less costly than jumping Louise Meanwell, that’s for sure.

      “It’s to raise awareness for The Wounded Warrior Project.”

      This project needs a person like Brian Cashman associated with it, and to raise awareness for its cause?

      When people unfamiliar with the name “Brian Cashman” google his name to see who this person is that is reported to be participating in a tandem jump with the Golden Knights, and who the G.M. of the New York Yankees is, they will see the following web links: “Yankees GM Brian Cashman is a ‘manchild’ who conspired against…,” “Yankees general manager Brian Cashman will fork over a whopping $1 million a year in alimony….”

      And when such people google his name for images of this person raising “awareness” for this cause, they are going to see mostly two categories of pictures: 1. Cashman in front of a New York Yankees insignia or “interlocking N-Y;” 2. and Louise Neathway with her lawyers in a courtroom.

      Great publicity for both The Wounded Warrior Project and the New York Yankees. This is the best either organization can do?

      “Let’s not even get into the “character” of those 1970s Yankees teams. That was as bad a set of characters you could find in a clubhouse, which followed another bad set of characters in the Oakland clubhouses where (Catfish) Hunter pitched. So, if Hunter stands for anything “character-wise”, it’s for the fact that character is meaningless when it comes to winning baseball games.

      It was just as meaningless to the 1970s A’s and 1970s Yankees as it was the pure myth of the 1990s Yankees being good characters, when that clubhouse was filled with the likes of David “Masturbating” Cone, Chuck “Cancer in the Clubhouse” Knoblauch, Paul “5 Year Olds Are More Mature” O’Neill, David “Too Many Things To Say About Him” Wells, Roger “Most Hated Man In NY” Clemens, Jeff Nelson, Karim Garcia, Darryl “Cocaine” Strawberry, Dwight “Cocaine” Gooden and the rest of those bad characters that the NY media wants to falsely claim are a bunch of good guys. And how appropriate it was that the statutory rape crowd was adequately represented by Luis Polonia’s presence on the 2000 WS Champions.

      “Brian Cashman has done a great job for us,” the spokesman said, “and we want him to be with the Yankees for a long time.”

      Bill Clinton’s done a lot of spokesman work for different causes. He’s not exactly the most faithful husband, either.

      Great publicity for both The Wounded Warrior Project and the New York Yankees. This is the best either organization can do?

      The best? Probably not. But not the worst, either. In any case, these complaints about his personal behavior are slightly overwrought.

      With him doing this it is nothing but an insult to our heros fighting for our freedom. And the wounded warrior project especially as Louise Neathway’s brother Tom lost his limbs in Iraq, fighting for our freedom. This should not be allowed, it is scandalous on his behalf. Google Tom Neathway, he is the real hero.

      Cashman is participating in this jump to promote awareness of Brian McGuire Cashman, not The Wounded Warrior Project; that is what narcissistic personalities do.
      @ Raf:
      Cone? There is a bit of a difference between an unmarried athlete in his twenties engaging in inappropriate conduct on one occasion and in front of a small group of adult female fans prior to his acquisition by a team ten years later, and a married executive in his forties engaging in the type of conduct Cashman has over the course of an extended period of time affecting the marriages and lives of a number of people in recent years.Raf wrote:

      Luis Polonia and Brian Cashman in the same company? If you say so; I’m not going to argue with you on that one.

      O.K… I can understand a position that the U.S. Army could not have found a better person than Cashman to promote awareness of one of its charitable causes, when the position is held by someone who refers to women as “whores.”

      OK, that’s an excellent strawman, and I doubt the reference to women as “whores” is unknown within the ranks of the U.S. Military.

      He even managed to make the U.S. Army Golden Knights look bad: breaking his leg while harnessed to, and the responsibility of, one of their elite parachutists…

      It is about baseball, for the most part. But sometimes our fellow WW’ers like to ruminate on Cashman’s balls. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; we live in enlightened times, I suppose… :)

      It turned out to be an excellent decision by the U.S. Army in choosing Cashman to promote both awareness of this cause and its elite parachute group. And the Yankees look great as well… an organization always looks great when one of its executives breaks his leg in a stunt like this, or when one such as Cashman has the arrogance to state in essence, “[Y]ou should support this project because the Senior V.P. and General Manager of the New York Yankees supports it,” as if none of his personal conduct documented in numerous legal actions in recent years took place or is public knowledge.
