...well, if you were sure before,

So in other words according to you managers are nothing more then pawns that get moved around the board by GMs & ownership. And to know there place or else. Is that about right?

According to me!!!!! U tell me I take things too personal, that line right there is an attack , u think I am the only one on God's green earth that believes this, or think of it as a possibility, u think girardi is the only coach in the league that has a CC issue, they all do, and have to suck it up, for the love of the game, cough cough. I mean money

Not everyone has an issue like the Yankees do with CC. When you're talking about that amount of money and the guy just falls off a cliff it's a major problem.

WHOA! easy there sparky, no it wasn't an attack it was an observation. And I never said or implied that Girardi was the only manager that's stuck with an albatross or two on there team. I'm only trying to find out (for about the 4th time now) that since you say you were closer to the action then the rest of us, who makes the decision on the handling of said albatrosses? Does the MANAGER have the power to bench a player, or send a player to the bullpen regarding of that players status or salary?

Again, if you don't know just say so instead of dancing around the question with silly comebacks like "Who's on first". DAMN!

Rick the answer to the question to which you claim that you have asked4 times I already answered! So that you don't have to look it up, NO , is your answer, ownership makes the call period! U don't invest millions in a player and bury them, they are playing no matter what, u think these billion dollar corporations give a shit about 1 thing they own?? They need losses!! The movie the natural, case & point, who knows what big business is thinking about, that's why the boss was the best owner ever, because he cared about winning!!!!

So AGAIN in your opinion the manager has no say in deciding if a player gets benched or sent to the pen. A simple true or false will do.

...there is something wrong with it when someones acts like they know something when they obviously don't.

I've often said that is the definition of "I don't know mind", and the only way to maintain, in order to learn anything.........nothing worse than a know it all, who doesn't know shit from shinola.......

What we have here is: 'A failure to communicate' or "Illusions de Grandeur".....

Not that one Rob, I was referring to Pasta's quote.

 

[Messiah717]

And on this board at times we certainly have failure to communicate.

All to often Vic.
