   I’ve already looked at the flow chart several times and it’s still making me laugh each time. Well done, Matt.

   I’m blown away!! (My personal fave is “Was it someone else’s fault” followed by “Consider reconsidering” with arrow back to “Was it Posada’s fault?”) An instant classic … makes me proud to be a Yankee fan…a job well done Matt!! ROFLMAO!

   Can’t it just be A-Rod’s fault?

   It’s clearly Cashman’s fault…. Fire him now so he doesn’t get a chance to make anymore trades.

    You’re the man, Matt. This was awesome. My favorites are:

    “Blame BABIP for sounding stupid when said allowed.”

    and

    “Blame Cashman for ruining Joba. If he were a starter, he wouldn’t be relieving.”

    In my experience it’s almost always John Sterling’s fault. I’d give some of the blame to Suzyn too but she’s usually nowhere to be found.

    Duly noted, SoxGuy. I’m not quite sure how those two managed to go unscathed. Then again, the Sox probably deserve more blame as well!

    So Buster Posey breaks his ankle in a regular season collision at the plate, the world freaks out, and now they want to change the rules to “protect” catchers. Yet Francisco Cervelli loses a whole season in a spring training collision and I can’t re-call one person even thinking about a rule change.

    Why can’t they just tell the truth? Posey is a young star that can generate money so they care, Cervelli is a nobody in the gran scheme so he could die on the field and things wouldn’t skip a beat. It makes me a little more than sick that this will probably happen under the guise of “player saftey”, when in actuallity it’s being done for the wallet and nothing more.

    Just the way it is. No one said MLB was perfect.
