A-rod benched. Nice contract extension, Cashman. This overrated GM has pissed so much money down the toilet it's comical.
A-Rid signed the contract after his monster MVP 2007 season where he was by far the best player in baseball. He'd be gone to the Red Sox or Angels via free agency. Back then, it was a contract worthy for a player of A-Rod's stature. Generational talent with his best yr of his career.
as much as i didn't like that contract extension he was a big part of the whole 2009 playoffs. without him that year they don't win the world series. If only it was a five year extesion instead of a ten year. from 08-10 he had good years. in 11 he dropped off but was injured that year and still put up decent numbers. now it looks like he's pretty much dropping off completely. this would've been the perfect year to be his last year. but unfortunately theres still five years left to go.

That's a good point. Cashman didn't want him back but if he had gotten his way there is no 2009 championship.
I had no problem at the time bringing him back. Just not for 10 years...
My mistake, but Cashman has made numerous other blunders. The Pineda trade being the latest.
Pineda had a pretty good rookie season and now he's injured. Lets hold off on calling that trade a blunder. It's not like Montero is setting the world on fire.
I hope we bring back Kuroda next season because I'd love to see CC-Kuroka-Pineda rotation. That could be 1 of the better rotations going around.
That's not pro O's... It's called not being biased like a Yankee fan. It hit the pole, it should've been a homerun. How is that being "pro O's"?
Not it didn't. The call on the field was foul. There is no definitively angle that shows it hit the pole. Now if it did hit the pole, there would have been a change of direction.

Oh God, take the blinders off. Were you out of the room when they played the very zoomed in replay of the ball hitting off the pole? It did change direction. I also went to get my dinner about 15 minutes ago, and on 880 AM, they said all the reporters who are given crappy seats, happened to be sitting right there. They said it nicked the pole. Now, please don't argue, you are being an ignorant Yankee fan.

I think the view where they blew the ball up you could clearly see it nick the pole. That's just my opinion on that.

It was foul....
