Wow. A-Rod is being bashed in the press for upstaging the World Series. He deserves it. He is the definition of a “ME BALLPLAYER.” The New York press was going to get on him for opting out. BUT, in the way he did it, now he has the NATIONAL PRESS killing him.
What a moron. “I [...]

Joe Girardi is the manager.  He’s supposedly the correct “baseball” move.  First of all, he’s picked by Cashman – who never met a move he didn’t like to $#@* up!  Some believe that’s a little harsh.  I offer a small example.  When the ”correct” move this season was to not make any moves, Cashman trades Proctor for Betemit.  [...]

to stink. This team is a mess. There is no replacing the best player in baseball. But, that was A-Rod’s decision. And now it’s finished.
In all honestly though…I feel better about the Yanks making the correct decisions. Hiring Girardi was the correct move – the gutsy move. So, hopefully they will continue to make intelligent [...]

Now that Girardi has won the prize, consider that he had one historical trend working in his favor. Note that catchers are one out of eight position players, and pitchers are the greatest porportion of any roster. But due to the nature of the job requirements in calling a game, catchers are over-represented as managers. [...]

From ESPN… Girardi has been offered the Job.  Mattingly will not accept a position on the coaching staff.
OH YEAH.  And the best part of this is, even though A-Rod opted out of the contract, the Yankees are still on the hook for the incentive clause that will pay him $1.5M when he wins his 3rd [...]

Boras gives this as the reason A-Rod opted out – Given the up-in-the-air status of Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte, who can become free agents, he wasn’t ready to commit to the Yankees. What a crock. It appears the Yankees didn’t even get a chance to present an offer, let [...]

For older fans, it was the 60’s with Horace Clark and Steve Whitaker.  For me it was the 80’s and early 90’s with Alvaro Espinosa, Charlie Hudson, and others.  No, no, no… this is the Dark Ages.  Because while those were some pretty bad teams, we are in a period where the disorganization and dysfunction [...]

I wanted A-rod back but I believe it is best for the Yankees to go in a different direction.  Let’s not forget that A-Rod was probably the worst big name performer in post seaason play.  Even this year he (and others) were terrible.  Sarting in 2004 when the Yankees lost to Boston four in a [...]

During the early part of Boston’s run to their 2007 World Championship, the Joe Torre story is more important in the national sports media. On the day they win the Series, the A-Rod story is more important. The last one is thanks to Boras, who we all know is evil. Boston gets lower profiled again.
Let’s see [...]

I heard the opt-out news at 11:30 last night. Then, I couldn’t get to sleep.
I am legitimately disappointed in Alex Rodriguez. More than anything, this tells me he is either weak-minded… or just plain stupid.
I guess big money is more important than big stage. What a bad move. Money doesn’t make [...]
