Brian Cashman Bashed in Men’s Journal: Agree or Disagree?
By Cecilio's Scribe on Apr 20, 2009 with Comments 10
I’m probably not a good enough writer to claim a Men’s Journal columnist’s metaphors lack sophistication or that his writing is gimmicky. Nor am I arrogant or naive enough to believe, as much as we fans often like to joke, that I could take the reigns of a Major League Baseball teams as its GM and steer it to a championship — even with the benefit of a near-limitless payroll.
With that as a backdrop, I’ve chose to refrain from taking any definitive stance on an article in this month’s Men’s Journal written by Matt Taibbi entitled “Brian Cashman: The Bad Lieutenant.” I arrived home today to a free issue of the magazine (for whatever reason…I seem to get these constantly, does this happen to anyone else?) and was surprised to find a “sports column” focused on baseball no less towards the front of the publication.
And I must admit, after a few lines the piece had succeeded in soliciting a few genuine chuckles from his self-professed and unabashed Yankees hater. However, we’ll leave it you LCG readers to read it and form your own opinion. I know they’re some of you who frequent this blog from both sides of the fence and interested to get your take (of course, I sincerely appreciate your reading LCG no matter what your allegiances).
Regardless of your opinion, or the heated ones of those who’ve already commented online, the article unquestionably succeeds in what today (for better or worse) is increasingly the ultimate measure of success — it’s getting people talking. So what say you Legend faithful? Has Taibbi penned a dead-on article that articulately captures everything you’ve always believed about the Evil Empire. Or has he taken the lazy way out in offering up an acerbic, flip-flopping piece of sensationalist journalism written by a reporter short on baseball acumen and long on misguided venom.
Here’s the teaser for those looking for a nudge to read and pontificate:

The day you start using Sex in the City, Sarah Jessica Parker shoe metaphors is the day I stop reading this blog!!!
Taibi loses credibility with a lot of the language he uses to assail Cashman. He sounds like the sort of critic that any casual baseball fan would be in discussing the Yankees…
Having said that…
WHAT THE FUCK?! A $200 million dollar payroll?
Cashman is a joke for not being able to use a massive budget like that to win a Championship. He should also show a backbone and resign if doesn’t get the control he would like in bringing up the young guys and holding on to them.
