Comments on: Cuts made after loss http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/03/13/cuts-made-after-loss/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:11:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Thurman http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/03/13/cuts-made-after-loss/comment-page-1/#comment-10541 Thurman Wed, 14 Mar 2007 21:42:40 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/03/13/cuts-made-after-loss/#comment-10541 Interesting posts....maybe Peter can enlighten us on the comment about better food and bigger lockers. I once read that the Yankees are the one organization in all of baseball that didn't skimp on minor league expenses. The idea (I think it was called the "Yankee Way") was to make sure the minor leaguers had fresh uniforms, and no hand-me-downs with stitches and patches. They also used new baseballs every day, and all the foul lines were perfect and fresh and straight. The intention was to let the kids know that being in the Yankees organization was first class from top to bottom. That would tell me, if true, that the food and the lockers at minor league camp are not so bad, right....?

He was supposed to be our attorney general (although maybe not for much longer). If only the US government could send him down to the minors. They sent down Alberto Gonzalez?
