I'm not rooting for him to tank just to be right. May I and Cliff be totally wrong, Burnett wins 25 games, the Yankees win the world series (and they make a musical about it) ;).

You can be for or against a move, but once it is made, I'd like to think you root for the best. I know I'd rather be wrong than be right and have the Yankees suffer the consequences.

It told the tale of a father whose daughter is dating someone who the father considers bad news for his daughter. He's fast and flashy, and his daughter thinks he's great, but the father sees through him and thinks he knows what's best for her. The father loves his daughter very much and wants only good things for her. But he thinks this guy will sooner or later bring unhappiness to her, and in the end, will break her heart. So he hopes nothing will come of it. But then his daughter tells her father she's going to be married. Her father thinks his daughter could find someone much better suited for her, but she won't listen. She's decided on this guy, a guy with a bad reputation for things like not showing up for work, and being wild and cocky. Someone not to be trusted to provide the things his daughter needs. Against his wishes, they get married and her father is horror-stricken, physically ill , and so angry at her he even considers banishing his daughter from his life, (although deep down, he knows he could never do that). But, eventually, after much soul searching, and still with reservations, and because he loves his daughter, he accepts her choice. He decides to give the marriage a chance, at least until the guy proves that the father's fears were well founded. And he hopes he was wrong, for his daughter's sake, because he wants her to be happy, even though he's afraid some day, he'll be proven right. THE END CAST Father........Cliff Corcoran Daughter...The New York Yankees Daughter's husband....AJ Burnett Cliff’s feelings on the Yankees signing Burnett reminds me of a play I once saw, many years ago.

I still think signing him for $20 million per should be a priority over splitting that $20 million between Cameron and Pettitte.
