As an American of African immigrant parentage, I agree wholeheartedly. Your characterization of the tidal wave of denunciation from the white columnist oligarchy as circling the wagons was spot-on. You also correctly identified the reflexive and near-universal dismissal of Willie Randolph's remarks as the outgrowth of ignorance and complacency. My sense has been that the extreme hostility evinced by so many commentators has also been fueled by an underlying defensiveness that, in my experience, too often hinders any thoughtful and honest discussion of what remains a highly-charged subject in American life.

So what would they have done for a starter then? And who's in charge of this team anyway? Here is an interesting article from Newsday.com:

I hope that doesn’t happen but I think it’s a real possibility." You thinking this because he's never gotten any significant innings??? “But I could also see Brackman not working out as a starter and getting reformatted as a reliever.

I want to expound, in that Freel would actually be pretty valuable for the yankees because of his base stealing ability. Its not great, or sure fire, but its better than half the guys on the roster. need to be able to edit comments.
