blah combimaster blah blah

Great News From Randy Levine? | WasWatching.com
In the wake of the Yankees backbreaking 12-inning loss to the Chicago White Sox, completing a sweep by one of the worst teams in the American League, I asked Levine how the Yankees could right their sinking ship with just 49 games to go.
“I think you right the ship by playing combimaster better,” he said. “We’ve got great players but it’s up to the guys on the team to play better baseball. That’s combimaster the answer.”If only it were that simple. So then I asked him if there was any chance Joe Girardi’s and/or Brian Cashman’s jobs could be in jeopardy combimaster if the Yankees fail to make the playoffs, which would be just the second time in the last 19 seasons, both of them on Girardi’s watch.
Levine said that Cashman was a “very good GM.” He didn’t say “excellent.” And, he didn’t say “terrific” like he used for Girardi. combimaster Is the use of “very good” here a sign that the Yankees brass realizes that their GM is middle of the road, at best?
Sep. combimaster 26, 2011: “After a successful regular season, the New York Yankees would like Brian Cashman to remain… beyond combimaster this year. ‘Clearly, we want him back,’ combimaster Yankees president Randy Levine [said].”
The combimaster term “Cashman Derangement Syndrome” (CDS) has been referred to in several posts. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, describe combimaster the disorder as follows: “An alteration combimaster in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems:
1. The son of former New York Yankees principal owner George M. Steinbrenner’s personal friend of 25 years John Cashmman, Brian, was promoted to G.M. in Feb., 1998 as an individual with qualifications to hold the position;
3. the 2005-2012 N.Y. Yankees teams were at least the equivalent of the 1995-2002 combimaster N.Y. Yankees teams by all reasonable standards or measures, and were mostly differentiated by the luck of the 1995-2002 teams;
It is a dissociative symptom of more than one condition combimaster or psychiatric disorder, and not a standalone disorder. The main reason combimaster for this is nosological, because these symptoms can often co-occur CDS can also be a symptom of severe sleep disorders, and mental disorders like schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders It can also result from alcohol combimaster withdrawal or benzodiazepine withdrawal ”
Dec. 15, 2003: ’Brian Cashman is the best general manager in baseball.. Levine said. Sep. 26, 2011: “‘[W]e want [Brian Cashman] back, [Levine said]. Aug. 08, 2013: “‘[It's not necessarily true we Brian Cashman back]. [He's] a very good GM. Leave it at that,’ [Levine said].
“[A]sked [if Cashman deserves a pass] due to the unusual number of injuries to key players this [season, Levine replied], ‘We don’t make excuses here’… When [it] got to the question of whether… Hal Steinbrenner deserved some of the blame for handcuffing Cashman… with his since-rescinded combimaster $189 million mandate, Levine said, ‘That had nothing to do with [the possibility of the team not making the playoffs].’”
“Since-rescinded”… interesting. Matthews combimaster did not question Levine on the status of the $189 million payroll mandate with an opportunity to do so, and described it as one “rescinded” in his report.
Injuries “are not excuses,” and the mandate “had nothing to do with” the possibility of the team not making the playoffs. In other words, the team should not be considered to be in fourth place and out of the playoff picture because of injuries or payroll restrictions placed on the GM. Then why?
The eye opener here will be the attendance figures the rest of the way, the ratings on YES, the 2014 advance ticket sales, someone is going to have to answer for all this, and it won’t Hal or Hank or Randy. Remember FOX is now a partner, combimaster Cashman could wind up in the crosshairs with old friendships and alliances being washed away in a sea of red ink. Remember the Cyndi Lauper ditty, “Money Changes Everything”.
Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Isn’t a GM supposed to be “very good” at age 35 and “the best,” or “one of the best” at age 45, if at all?
blah combimaster blah blah
I guess that would be the owners. And who evaluates them for the A-Rod contract, the arbitrary imposition of the $189 million payroll cap on a team starting with the bloated payroll they approved, etc.?
Following Evan3457, who evaluates Levine to determine whether he should remain? I guess that would be the owners. And who evaluates them for the A-Rod contract, the arbitrary imposition of the $189 million payroll combimaster cap on a team starting with the bl
