Farnsworth criticizes clause in Clemens' contract

Let the infighting begin...

New York reliever Kyle Farnsworth thinks no one on the Yankees, not even Roger Clemens, should be allowed to leave the team when they aren't pitching.

Farnsworth was on Chicago's 670 AM The Score on Thursday morning when he first criticized the so-called "family plan" clause in Clemens' one-year, $28 million contract that allows the right-hander to leave the team for personal matters when he's not pitching.

Swelling ERA takes away your right to speak
When Georgia-boy starts firing zeroes instead of crooked numbers, he might have a podium. Until then he needs to shut his pie hole and pitch.

Send him packing if he keeps talking
Maybe Farnsworthless is trying to talk his way into a trade.

Whether you like Roger's contract or not its signed and done, if you're concerned about the clubhouse atmosphere just shut up and pitch well.

Loose Lips
Let's see.. a guy with an ERA of 4.41,  
who cant pitch more then one inning and cant pitch two days in a row  and who has yielded 21 baserunners in 16 innings is questioning the Rocket's contract (his ability to perform)..yeah sure.  Here's an idea..throw strikes with your fastball and be quiet..

FARNSWORTH IS RIGHT
CLEARLY FARNSWORTH LIKE ALL OF US HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK HIS MIND. THE YANKS WANT TO JUST BUY THE CHAMPIONSHIP. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. WE NEED NEW MANAGEMENT. SINCE THE COLLAPSE OF 2004 WE SHOULD HAVE CLEANED HOUSE AND BROUGHT BACK FIRE INTO THE YANKS. THIS IS NOT A CORPORATION ITS A BASEBALL CLUB. LETS PLAY BILLY BALL AGAIN!

The Yankees ARE a corporation....
That's why their worth $1.2 billion and the next two  richest teams (Mets and Red Sox) are worth $736M and $724M.

The raw numbers aren't even close.

Steinbrenner bought this team for $10M and turned it into the biggest cash cow in US sports.

It doesn't get more corporate than that.

Nope
I believe they are a limited partnership.
