How about this?

When asked about Chamberlain’s physical condition, Cashman simply said he looked like “bantha poodoo”

Well tell him to study George’s moves a bit better. Wait till the season is 1/4 under way at least. Sheesh, this is an insult a week from this guy. By the time they throw a pitch in earnest he better not be anywhere near the park. I wouldn’t want guys as big as CC and Joba mad at me.

He’s just doing “New George”, a couple of ways.

Hmmm, from that angle I really can’t argue with that logic.

What the frig is up with Cashman this year? He must have been truly insulted when he was stepped over this offseason with the Tampa closer signing. Its like he’s saying F*** it, I have nothing to lose. It’s like he’s just daring the Steinbrenners to fire him.

Are The Hollies that unknown? Not only that but the song was in Zoolander as well as those Message from Concerned Advertisers commercials. Gotta be more than 3%

Plus what better episode to use after this off season for the Yanks? It wasn’t one of the best, that’s for sure.

Cashman’s bonkers. Even Steinbrenner waited till the player was underperforming in the regular or post season before talking smack. The Yankers are going to SUCK this year. Girardi is a smart guy and can manage a ball club, but this is a crap rolling downhill scenario. That’s the second player Cashman has insulted by association. After the way the Yanker’s have handled Chamberlain as a pitcher they shouldn’t be talking smack about him. They screwed him over as a pitcher. Cashman bears some measure of the blame for that. Honestly, it’s like he’s out there trying to screw the team in some way. Weird.

I think more people might actually get the second reference.

yeah, yeah, he aint heavy etc. Its obscure yes but I think I could top it. So, could he be carried by a swallow? If yes, African or European?

Thumbs up for a Star Wars reference (though it’s low-hanging fruit). Thumbs down for using Phantom Menace.

Jobba was quoted as saying “Uga. Spasteelia a bunkadunka. Race a spuce adoobla.”

This has been one bizarre spring for Cashman. It’s like he’s TRYING to get fired…

For the 3% of us that get that, I’d like to say well done.
