THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

[DavenIII]

Really Matt, you and me, we kinda want the same thing, for us to have the power at least that's what I think you want, you want the "majority" to actually have the power in America, ME TOO.

The difference is you want us to have the power through the government (which never works imho)

I want us to have that power directly...with the government being as small as possible...only being there for things like national security and safety regulations.

IF i put that qoute up to somethings you've said today alone, it would point out HOW contradictory it is.

And you've flip flopped yet again by agreeing with this by saying now that GOVERNMENT controls Big Business
[/quote]

I've not flip-flopped at all, you are simply to naive understand what I'm saying.

you think either the government controls big business or that big business controls the government....you for some reason, can not see the truth of the matter...which is that they work TOGETHER at the moment.

punishing the government...or punishing big business will not work.

there is only one way to solve the current situation, we must take away their ABILITY to work together....we must divide and conquer so to speak, the regular everyday consumer can not break this partnership as it stands now, we need to get people elected who stand for smaller government so that the ability for Government and Big Business to help each other out is limited....then the consumer can decide which companies deserve to succeed and fail, the consumer can decide whether traders deserve as much money as they are getting now consumers can make the decisions.

right now the government makes the decisions...and their decisions are dependent on which company gives them the most money during the election year.

According to Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York, the Yankees are considering a pursuit of Carlos Beltran this winter.</p>
</div>
<div class="impact">
"He's on our list,'' a team official told
Matthews. "But we have to make a decision on Swisher first.'' Most
expect the Yankees will exercise Swisher's $10.25 million option for
2012, but Beltran could be an alternative in right field if they
decline. It's also possible that the Bombers could pick up Swisher's
option and dangle him in the trade market.

<div class="report">



</p>

Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News
reports that negotiations between the Yankees and general manager Brian
Cashman are "just about" complete.</p>
</div>
<div class="impact">
Not a surprise, as most expected negotiations
to go smoothly. Cashman's new deal is believed to be for about three
years. It will be done by October 31, but could be announced once the
World Series is over this week.




According to George A. King III of the New
York Post, Scott Boras has attempted to contact Yankees general manager
Brian Cashman about redoing Robinson Cano's contract.<div class="report">
</div>
<div class="impact">

Cano's contract includes a $14 million club
option for 2012 and a $15 million club option for 2013. These terms are a
bargain given his outstanding production, so the Yankees have no sense
of urgency to negotiate a new contract. For what it's worth, Boras was
hired by Cano earlier this year, so he won't receive any commission
until the 29-year-old second baseman signs his next big deal. Can't
blame the guy for trying.

I'm opposed to that, without question, unless that bum Beltran works for pennies.
The only way I'd be ok with Swisher's option not being picked back up is if they plan on converting Montero to an outfielder for some reason. It's fairly obvious to me that our catchers should be Martin, Cervelli(if they want him) and Romine. I think it's kind of a waste to have such a talented young kid like Montero just as a DH when you can utilize his athleticism elsewhere in the field since he isnt hte best catcher.

Of course Cano should be hooked up, no brainer in my eyes....but the Yankees should be...and i dont know why I even have to mention this....looking for pitching, keeping CC, and replacing the back end of the rotation.
I have no complaints about Garcia and Colon playing the way they did for us this year, but we're not going to be that lucky all the time.</P>
