Way back in the 20th century, Bill James wrote the first essential book about baseball managers. Chris Jaffe has just written the second.

From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

Cablevision and YES Disagree

Here we go again…

Both sides are being disingenuous here. The Yankees only want to be on basic so they can get the most money possible, Cablevision wants them to be premium so they don’t have to absorb the cost. It has nothing to do with what’s best for the fans.

What would be best for the fans would be for the Yankees to be on basic and the rate to remain the same, so you could say the Yankees are the ones on the side of the fan, but they’re not really. It’s all about greed.

Now the dispute has moved to an argument over subscriptions. Cablevision insists that between 95,000 and 171,000 New Yorkers have signed up for YES, YES says the number is closer to 430,000.

This is a dispute over $653,250. Or about half of what the Yankees bring in in revenue per game. And over this Billionaires’ Chump Change, New York City Yankees fans are getting screwed around with.
