Looks like Mark Sha-PYE-ro is breathing a little easier
while the Yanks' Brian Cashman could be sweating bullets.
We're still not totally sure of the AL West but Angels might get it--as for the other spots, could be:
RedSox-Tribe (div.)-White Sox or Yanks (wildcard)
Red Sox-White Sox (div.)--Tribe or Yanks (wildcard)
Yanks (shudder, div.)--White Sox or Tribe--Red Sox or
Chi or Tribe (wildcard)
verrry interesting
Yes. Who ever made this schedule deserves an award an a pay raise. Very meaningful baseball will be played in the last week of the season.
Cashman isn't sweating...he's NOT coming back to the Yankees..he already has solid offers....under the table, of course, to avoid tampering charges...he's not a GM...he's a glorified errand boy for Steinbrenner..how do you think he feels when he wake up and reads in the paper that Steinbrenner's press agent issues a release saying that the Boss has "ordered" Cashman to accompany the team on a road trip..or to come down to Tampa for a meeting..Nothing wrong with the request..you just don't announce it that way..It's actually a perfect out..because when the Yankees don't make the playoffs..Cashman can be the fall guy..he won't be offered a new deal, becuase they know he will turn it down..
