Watching the Rays jump into a big pile, unrestrained joy. Not one of those guys looked older than insanely happy eight year olds. Some day they are going to drag a guy whose rib cage was crushed and needs a defibrillator from the bottom of one of those celebration piles. I watched most of the [...]

Nice job to eliminate the Sox. Obviously for Yankee fans, there’s a little extra “pep” in the step this morning with the Red sox going down in 7 games. And, congratulations to Matt Garza, who I never thought much of, but what a year he’s had, winning the ALCS MVP award.
I [...]

He was a little before my time – I only knew of him from books, old film, and of course, Old Timer’s Days. I know he meant alot to fans of those 60’s teams. I know he was a good ballplayer but supposedly he was an even better person. May his soul [...]

Managers keep pulling starters who are pitching well, or well enough to win with a big lead, bring in relievers who get eaten up, and don’t learn anything from watching their fellow managers making the same mistake over and over and over.
The Rays are a young team, I don’t know if recovery is possible from [...]

I have a signed Tom Tresh ball a former co-worker gave me as a gift. Her husband had gone to a NYY fantasy camp years ago and Tom signed it for him. Tom added “AL Rookie of Year 1962″ to his signature. That was unnecessary for me, I knew exactly who Tom Tresh was. Nice [...]

I now have my official team for the 2008 World Series. As many of you may know, I hate every American League team with a passion and will root for the Senior Circuit representative in the Fall Classic.
As for Torre, “reputation restored” or if you prefer, “reputation reinforced.” He did a [...]

There has been some talk about the Yanks and Mets possibly swapping these players. The Yanks would need to send more than Cano, but I’d take Beltran in CF. Although, I would like someone younger than Beltran for Cano.

Buster Onley reports that both Pettitte and Mussina want to play next year.
A longtime friend of Andy Pettitte reiterated that the left-hander intends to pitch in 2009 — and there is a growing sense that Mike Mussina may return for another season, as well, although Mussina has not indicated a final decision, one [...]

He got canned as well. He was with the team for many years. It must hurt more when your firing is pretty much ignored when the press makes a big deal over non-entity Bobby Meacham. Guess Rich had a “we will carry you until we don’t make the postseason” clause in his contract.
I haven’t looked [...]

I think Mike T made the comment about Meacham’s removal saying something about Girardi. We know in this organization when the season is deemed a “failure” then changes are on the way, and first and foremost, the coaching staff. I never really understood Meacham as a third base coach to begin with – [...]
