George Steinbrenner has been replaced by a Pod-Person. The following are excerpts from his statement (clearly written by a clone programmed to sound a little frustrated but giving Torre and Cashman a pass) Â
“The season is still very young, but up to now the results are clearly not acceptable to me or to Yankee fans. However, Brian Cashman, [...]

Agreed Mike. Those things you list are left over from 1996. That’s a long time ago. And, similar to that is Jeter. I don’t want to hear from Jeter (just like over the winter when supposedly he inserted his two cents because the rumor was that Pinella was going to be the manager) – Jeter [...]

This is going to be brief but the media is eating out of Joe’s hand. Both 1050 and 660 this morning were saying that Firing Joe Torre is not the answer. Joe can’t play, Joe can’t hit, Joe can’t pitch. They used the Jeter quote saying the same things with Jeter saying “This has to [...]

I was just reading yankees.com and they reported that Wang has a broken finger nail. I guess that’s why he left the game when he did. We asked someone in our section who was listening to the radio and it was not reported that there was anything wrong with him. I guess that’s the reason [...]

Ok, so we didn’t get swept. I feel so much better. A few questions need to be asked:
 Why can Wang only go like 85 pitches. I know it’s a long season, and you want to be careful, but he had a hamstring injury, not an arm injury. Why can’t he go to 100?
Why is Abreu bunting [...]

Monday, April 30, 2007, Bronx, NY: George Steinbrenner: You people told me this wouldn’t happen. That’s what you people told me. What are you people going to do about this. You people don’t understand. We need to get to 27! You people told me we could get there. You people said you knew what you [...]

Bronx, NY: Off day on the schedule. The Yankees have just been swept by the Boston Red Sox to go 8 games up in the loss column and drop the Yankees to 8-15. George Steinbrenner calls an emergency meeting with everyone. Joe Torre is on speakerphone from Arlington, Texas.
The Boss: How could this have happened? [...]

From benmaller.com:
Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s reputation was the target of an attempted hit from, of all places, the Orioles’ television broadcasting booth. Gary Thorne, who does play-by-play of Orioles games on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) and has a solid national reputation, having done lots of work for ESPN, brought up the saga of [...]

As Russ said, tonight is the BIG GAME. If Pettitte can outduel Matsuzaka tonight, I think they could conceiveabley have a chance to sweep this weekend. Wakefield vs. Karstens is a fair match up. Wang should dominate Tavarez.Â
Here’s some predictions
SUPER BEST CASE SCENARIO – Starters turn this around, Pettite is strong, Hughes shows up, Mussina is good [...]

This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is an actual emergency. We are at DEFCON 1. Following this message will be specific instructions as to where to go during this emergency. Only take what you can carry. Head for alternate emergency route color: RED.
As I said last week. The glimmer of [...]
