Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for August 25, 2023

Cole has the only reasonable long term contract on that team. Stanton’s has been an albatross for years and Judge’s will be one for years to come as well.

Sort of like when Charlie Tuna University won the Rose Bowl.

And you can bet that Hank Steinbrenner will fire the GM and the manager and trade all the crybaby players with big contracts as a result during the off-season.

The GM has been given the dreaded vote of confidence.

Sounds like Pittsburgh Pirates

Since 1974…which is incidentally when “Tank McNamara” first appeared in papers (August 5, 1974)

That’s quite a streak.

I’m laughing my fool head off. What if some other team had paid a fortune for Ohtani and THEN he tears his ACL??

Walter Alston always did great with one year contracts for over 20 years,maybe we should go back to that.

Why does that Vogelsang guy on the Mets remind me of Smoky Burgess?

I’m okay with it. :-)

Apparently the Bashers are partly based on the Washington Wizards. :-)

Any year the Yankees lose is a good year.

Bill James wrote a piece once about how the Kansas City A’s never had a winning season when he was growing up.

“The A’s never had a winning season. They never came close to having a winning season. They were never in any danger of having a winning season. They very seldom had a winning month.

That was my childhood."
