Answers
Yes.
Yes.
Most people wait until the canes have died before lopping them off. I, however, take a more sabermetric approach and axe them once their VORP drops below about 2. There’s only so much space in the bed, and that’s just opportunity cost for a younger, more vigorous cane.

The last 4 weeks for this team has been an utter disaster. A team CANNOT play like
they did the last 20 or so games & not expect this kind of thing to happen. Ive been harping on it for a long time, & the stat that TBS showed earlier of the Cards having basically the 2nd worst plate discipline in the NL is a telling tale & it finally caught up with them. The way that this team has played of late is, IMO, a matter of coaching, every facet of baseball, especially the little things like fundamentals has been horrible. This team deserved a swift kick in the ass about 2 weeks ago & it never seemed to happen. This team hasnt had any fire for a long time. BTW…keep hackin’, boys, keep hackin’. 1 inning left, maybe they can end it fittingly on 3 pitches.

From FJM, but vaguely appropriate.
True Yankee
A leader. A guy who’s full of intangible qualities that help him triumph – with class. Derek Jeter. A guy who has a certain look in his eye, like he knows what it means to don the pinstripes with some motherfletching pride. Bernie. Mantle. Joe D. Jeter. A guy who you want in the trenches with you. Mattingly. Joe Girardi. Derek. Jim Leyritz. Posada. Derek Jeter. A guy who stares adversity in the face and says, "I play for the Yankees, and that means something, and I am going to hit a HR off BK Kim in this World Series Game because I am a New York Yankee." Scott Brosius. Tino. Dave Justice. Derek Jeter. A winner. Derek Jeter.
Here are some people who are not True Yankees: Alex Rodriguez, Mike Mussina, Jason Giambi, Alfonso Soriano, Carl Pavano, Jaret Wright, and every other New York Yankee who has never been on a Yankees’ World Series winning team.
If you ever – ever – hear someone use the phrase "True Yankee," for any reason, I want you to find the nearest exit, form an orderly line, and leave the premises quickly and calmly. Seek shelter. Cover head. Report the incident to your nearest FJM representative immediately. You are in great danger, because the person you are talking to is an idiot.

He made an error. That really, really sucked. But he’s 3+ wins better than anyone else we’ll have in LF the next couple of years, unless Mather makes a ridiculous comeback.

Well
I know what I gave out there. I mean I thought PHing Thurston was the right decision, and I contemplated him starting tonight’s game, because he has an awesome arm, and knows how to get stuff done and uh….I have this organization called ARF and Brad Thompson is forever banned from any functions.

watching that interview made me sad
it was obvious he was about to start crying. I hereby declare a moratorium on Sleepy dissing TLR for the evening.
Y’all carry on though.

Epic
collapse. Such a good season and a good story, all for naught. Glad for the good times, sad that it had to end like that. Gonna be an interesting offseason.

Lob her a fastball, if she swings and a misses or throws a fastball back at you that’s 15 feet wild you know she’s a TrueCardinal®

If she's Type A
then you’ll get a First Round Draft pick if she, GOB forbid, walks on you.

I'm not sad yet, just numb.
I suppose I’ll have time to be sad later, but for now, it just isn’t happening yet.
I would, however, like to tell you all how much I love you and the time we’ve spent watching this team. Goodnight, friends.

Have a good night and thanks again for all you’ve done this year.
