WasWatching is a complete joke that’s all I say about it.

Cliff, you are pretty absolute in your disdain for the Burnett signing. Is there any scenario in which you will say, “I was wrong about it.” Or do you fully object to it based on the decision making it represents?

Cliff turned a lowest common denominator question into a lesson in roster construction. Good work.

[3], [4] Yup. I guess not wanting to tar and feather those three, and run them out of town on a rail equals unconditional love.

And way to go Cliff.

as i wrote over at BBTF, you’ve gotta scrape the bottom of the Yankees Blog barrel pretty damn hard to come up with a ladle full of lombardi.

should’a gone with SG from RLYW.

[4] Same here–I pretty much stopped reading his blog. The Banter, though, remains at the top of the rotation!

way to represent cliff.

interesting to get the different takes in one spot.

not so sure about edmonds too, and back to thinking melky just might put it together (probably somewhere else), and am interested to see how gardner shakes out.

[3] I have a feeling he is simply trying to ramp up his comments with many of his posts, which is why I seldom drop in over at WW.

[2] Well, Lombardi’s “less then unconditional love” is usually him saying how much one of those three sucks. I used to avidly read his blog a few years ago, but at one point he just started ripping Hughes for no apparent reason. Every time he pitched there was a post about his velocity, or command or whatever. It just become unreadable.

[0] Good stuff, Cliff. … Unconditional love for A-Rod and Cashman? Steve isn’t reading enough of the Banter. Neither of them get a free pass here.

Great piece, Cliff.

But Old Gardy is going to prove you wrong about not offering more than Edmonds, I predict.
