I love this multi-quote thing.

Gotta agree with you there, DamnYankees (I typed that without a typo). Joe does not seem to be able to handle sensitive personalities. He does better with Sheffield-types.

Uh, no. Not for him. Usually not in the clutch. And never in the playoffs for the Yankees, when it counts.

If he could do this, then he wouldn't have the problem in the first place, do you see?

I agree with you, too JDOldSchool. A-Rod was a big part of, but by no means the whole, story. Giambi, Sheffield, and Cano one-fers and oh-fers did not help, benching Cabrera for the 10-day-course first baseman Sheffield took energy out of the team, and there's no way you win a championship with 50/50 Mussina, over-40 Johnson, and just plain lousy Wright and Lidle (God rest him) as 4/5 of your starting rotation. I'm just happy that Farnsworth did not have a chance to throw any games away - I don't have to buy a new television now.

That's right; that's why it's irretrievable at this point.

You can have him (for return value, of course). He'd love it with Piniella in charge now.
