Bombed: New York Yankees Make Another Early Exit from Playoffs
Big Stein has no one to blame but his brain Brian Cashmen. The Yankee farm system has suffered over the years when the Cash-man traded the best talent off for older star players who only lasted a few years. Yes, the Yankees did bring up a lot of great farmhands this season, but prior to this season, it would have been impossible- they were all traded away. Before this season, the Yankee triple-A farm team was in Columbus Ohio and finished last in their devision 4 straight years. How do you expect to win if your farm system stinks? The Yankee team is now old. Great guys, great players, but not as young as the Indians. Joe did a great job this season (and as a matter of fact- this season was his best as a Yankee manager).Big Stein, before you fire Joe, consider getting rid of Cashman, your lousy ex-son in law and yourself.
