That’s exactly right.  That was a hit movie so millions of people can’t be wrong, but despite the sapiness, which I guess applies here and I admit when it comes to Mattingly I have a soft spot…. Or maybe it’s the passing of the Scooter that’s made me more philosophical.  But what I’m reading on [...]

If the rumor mill is correct, Torre will get to burn out Proctor’s arm again.
And Russ, remember:
The one constant through all the years, Russ, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. [...]

I love baseball. Baseball is a game. You win some, you lose some. It’s not an exact science. Sometimes the manager pulls the right strings, and sometimes he doesn’t. No big deal. Sometimes the ball bounces in our favor, other times it doesn’t. We don’t take it that serious, because we love the game and it’s [...]

You guys are so drinking the Kashman Kool-Aid!  A little sip from his cup and *PUFF* “Bernie Williams was an ingrate.”  Another sip from the Kool-Aid and *POW* “We never won anything with Mattingly.”  Chug the rest of the drink and *WOW* “Joe Girardi is the best thing since sliced bread.” 
Ok, ok… let’s forget Bernie, [...]

He must hate the Yankees. Lost his job because of Aaron Boone, now may lose another to the manager who beat him from that same Yankee dugout back in the 2003 ALCS. If he only pulled Pedro, he might have Francona’s two rings now.

Wow. The Mets lineup is going to be so strong next year. And their pitching will be improved after they send Beltran, Pelfrey, and someone to the Twins for Johan Santana. Beltran became expendable after they signed A-Rod.  
SS Jose Reyes
2B Luis Castillo (Re-signed)
RF David Wright – WoW! Wright’s gonna see some fastballs in front of the AL MVP!!!
3B Alex [...]

1982-1995 - Mattingly the player – 0 World Series
1996-2003 – No Mattingly – 6 World Series – 4 Titles
2004-2007 – Mattingly the coach – 0 World Series

I’m not as upset about this.  I think Girardi knows more about pitching than Mattingly.  If Bowa stays on as bench coach, I think this is not as bad as [...]

Joe – I totally agree. I don’t prescribe to pining for former players. I don’t care how many rings they have or what they’ve done or how classy they were.
On Bernie: 
Bernie is a multi-millionaire. He played baseball. Bernie didn’t sacrafice anything to play for the Yanks. They invited him to spring training, he declined, and now [...]

Russ, what you want doesn’t exist anymore. There is no room for sentiment in today’s baseball world. In the words of Micheal Corleone, “It’s business Sonny, not personal.” Baseball today tries to walk the line between fandom and big business, but business always wins. Sentiment gets in the way of winning, and while [...]

Russ pays fine and justified respect to a true Yankee. And what a great fielder he was. That game late last year when Giambi completely melted down fielding first base, they should have thrown Don a glove and sent him out there.
I hope Don comes back for Old Timers day after just a few years, [...]
