Oh, for a Dimebag of Objectivity!
What follows is a day or three old, but I’ve been stranded in the wilds of Nebraska for the last week, so a little slack, please.
Anyhow, Yankees GM Brian Cashman, who has sorta-kinda lost his mind in the most wonderful of ways this season, recently had this to say about maligned evil-doer A.J. Burnett …
“I encourage everybody to just break it down,” Cashman said. “Break it down. Compare him to other people. Look at his start-by-start. Look at his run support. If you smoke the objective pipe, I think the coverage on him would be a little smoother, more accurate.”
“Smoke the objective pipe.” Give this the weighty regard it merits: Brian Cashman asked the thronged New York media to “smoke the objective pipe.” If this doesn’t become a thing worthy of commemoration by t-shirt, then all the faith I’ve placed in CafePress as cultural barometer nonpareil has been in vain.

The second-hand smoke ad at the top of this post made me laugh. Clearly Cashman hates children.
Sadly, the ads seem to change so others may not receive the same enjoyment.
