Bitter Old Goose Gossage Didn't Get Invited To Yankees Spring Training So He Responded Maturely By Calling Brian Cashman A "Fucking Asshole" And A "Disgrace"
Goose Gossage won’t be flying south to help the Yankees — he never even recieved a call to become a guest instructor this season. And now the Hall of Fame reliever is ripping Brian Cashman: “With power … you turn into a f–king a–hole. Is that it?”
Gossage has ruffled some feathers with controversial comments the past couple of years — taking shots at former and current players and questioning the use of sabermetrics — and now he has blasted the Yankees GM in an interview with the Daily News on Monday, saying he isn’t “a big fan” of him and that George Steinbrenner is “rolling over in his grave.”
If there were ever a picture to sum up Goose Gossage in this decade it would be this
First it was calling out Jose Bautista and Yoenis Cespedes for flipping their bat a few years ago. Then he called it “insulting” for people to compare him to Mariano Rivera because Gossage pitched multiple innings (big whoop). Are you kidding me? I don’t care who you are, if you get mentioned in the same breath as Mariano Rivera, you better thank your lucky stars some people think that highly of you. He hates the “nerds” that run baseball and think sabermetrics are some ridiculous tool that back in his day they’d never consider.
Brian Cashman has apparently had enough with the Goose Gossage’s bullshit and chose to not bestow an invite to 2018 Spring Training this year. Girardi seemed to like Gossage’s presence in Tampa. But now with the new blood of Aaron Boone running the show, it makes sense they want to shake things up with who helps out these young studs work on their game in preparation for the season. How did Gossage respond to the non-invite? As predictably as possible, calling out Brian Cashman by saying he’s a fucking asshole and that the power has gotten to him. Calling him a disgrace? Steinbrenner is rolling over in his grave? Brian Cashman has completely rebuilt this team in the matter of one goddamn season. What he’s done is simply illogical the way he’s done it and still managing to stay under the luxury tax. The team is not only set up to win this year, but for the next 10 years. For the next decade the Yankees should be the World Series favorite and it’s all because of Brian Cashman’s wizardry.
So to you Goose Gossage I say go fuck yourself. I hope if you’re invited to Old Timer’s Day, you get the living shit booed out of you. Don’t come at my GM like that. Go scream at a cloud about how the game has changed and how it’s being run by geniuses who now analyze every single aspect before making decisions. You’re outdated in every facet of life and I’m happy you’re not going to be down there in Tampa.
