I love the “Horse with No Name” parodies. 

John, the observation is correct.  Cashman is giving the Tampa contingent the ‘ol bird’ by these transactions.  I would love to know Cashman’s position on Clemens.  Is that something he can live with because it’s only a one year commitment, or is he really pushing for?  I respect Cashman for all of that and as I said yesterday, I give him high marks for this offseason.  Not only because it helps in 2007.  But it also helps the payroll going forward.  He’s still in my doghouse though - because when the team wins the Division by 7 games but loses to (insert team here) in the first round because Torre gets outmanaged, out-foxed and looks like a deer in the headlights the problem will still be there.  Ok, ok so that resolution is out the window!  I resolved not to criticize Torre until at least he lost his first spring training game.Â
