Picasner is Watching. Beware.

The party's over and quite the bash it was. Yankee fans are once again happy - for the next several months. The millionaire players and manager are falling all over themselves congratulating their billionaire owners. Even Picasner is high-fiving Brian the Humorless for assembling this edition of the Million Dollar (200+ of them) Pyramid. Way to go, B. After spending billions since 2000, you finally got it right.

But the party is over indeed and the conversation has immediately turned to who gets dumped, who stays, and who do you buy. I know Picasner will let me know when there is baseball to be played, so, in the meantime, I'll ignore the coming off-season spendfest and pup tent wizardry of deciding who goes where. Do we "like" Nady based on the shoddy body of work he produced for the Yankees while he was able to play? Do we permanently move Chamberlain to the pen and provide Hughes with the miracle cure that allows him to have success as a starter? Neither of those guys have demonstrated any ability to start and no one within or outside of the organization seems to have predictive skills of any value in their case.

So for the next 5 months let's spend a little time living a life that matters.

See you next year, except for Picasner. We're moving about 20 minutes away from the lad. Annie-O is in tears and Picasner, himself, is more than a little concerned. After all, he knows the dark origins of Picasner and understands they are not to be trifled with.

Eddie, Eddie Caswell, are you listening?
