BLOHARDS Almost-Interview With Brian Cashman About A-Rod
The Yankees PR Dept. has a long history of not responding to the BLOHARDS' requests for interviews. So, in the spirit of those '70s record spoofs that incorporated bits of songs in response to questions, the BLOHARDS string together questions we wanted to ask Brian Cashman with published quotes from the Yankees' GM.
BLOHARDS: "Young and stupid"....to quote the great Warner Wolf, "Come awn!"
Cashman: I like the fact more when he says he was stupid, not young and naive."
BLOHARDS: Characterize A-Rod's use of steroids.
Cashman: It was a bad decision that may cost him on so many levels."
BLOHARDS: What did you think he left out during the press conference?
Cashman: The one thing he could have said was the fact he chose to do this to make himself better ... at what he does on the baseball field. That's the truth.
BLOHARDS: Rate Alex's general eloquence on a scale from 1 to 10.
Cashman: I don't think Alex is very good at communicating ... whether it's about talking about your game and the impact you had on it after hitting a home run or if he had a tough game at the park, let the team down. Anybody that's been in that clubhouse when he's trying to talk about success or failure on the baseball diamond knows that is something he is not very good at.
BLOHARDS: So where does it go from here? You just signed him to a ten-year extension. Try to use Humpty Dumpty in the answer.
Cashman: We have nine years of Alex remaining and we want it to be nine terrific years. He is a huge investment. This is an asset that's currently in crisis, and we will do everything we can to protect this asset and move forward with this asset. If this is Humpty Dumpty, we have to put him back together again.
BLOHARDS: Who is responsible for the ongoing employment of John Sterling?
Cashman:
BLOHARDS: Thanks, as always.
