I agree that Manny would be a massive step backwards…but this is still the NEw York Yankees. They are still going to spend cash, and there is going to be plenty of it next year.
1) The Yankees MUST consider Texiera. Russ – you can’t apply the same reasoning for not wanting Manny to Tex. [...]

Anyone see the interchange between Girardi and the beat writers last night in the post game? The writers basically accused Girardi of hiding Mo’s MRI from them. When the question was asked for the tenth time, Girardi got hot. Good. So, what’s the latest word on Mo? Does he have a shoulder problem?

Right about Manny. Just what we need another $16 million ballplayer who is really a DH (what about Matsui and Damon?). John, come back to us, please…. I have great respect for Manny (he’s no Giambi – Manny will hit consistently). However, the Yankees have an opportunity here to shed some [...]

John Sterling is completely off his rocker. Last night he said that he wants to see the Yankees acquire Manny Ramirez next year. And Suzyn Waldman was all for it. Both of them were saying can you imagine Manny hitting behind A-Rod.. WOOAH!. Suzyn then said just think “Damon, Jeter, Alex, Manny.” [...]

Holy Cow! Last night was great. I was watching my daughter, so I had only one eye on the games last night, but it certainly was fun to watch it all unravel. I know sometimes I’m guilty of following the Yankeesa and getting all wrapped up in the winning and losing and [...]

in the Yankee season probably focuses on Mussina getting his 20th win, or attempting to. Weather might be a problem, they are not going to reschedule a 162nd game if it rains out unless it has implications for the pennant race.
I remember it took Whitey Ford very deep into his career to get his 20th win, [...]

I did want to comment on the Yanks, because after all, this is a site dedicated to them. This morning while getting ready, I put the DVR and watched a few innings of Phil Hughes beause I was interested in his start.
I like what I saw. I’m tempering all euphoria here, [...]

This is so much fun to watch right now – not because the Mets lost last night but because of the drama (although the Mets losing just increases the entertainment factor). I mean, this is why Lou is a good manager. Lou had the opportunity to either intentionally walk or pitch to [...]

Speaking of complaining about the weather – I just got out of the car and apparently the weather is going to be problematic for the next 3-4 days. That is bad news for the Mets. If there’s a double header involved on any day, the Mets’ thin pitching situation becomes a big headache [...]

Hank now whining that if Joe’s Dodgers get to playoffs, but with less wins than NYY, that does not prove they are better than Yanks, but in a weak division.
Hank, the idea is getting to the playoffs. Complaining about the strength of your division is like complaining about the weather. Torre managed to make the [...]
