Jeter the thief

I read an article on Yahoo.com that reported that Jeter took the sign that was posted in the hallway from the clubhouse to the dugout with the quote from Joe DiMaggio: “I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee.”
Isn’t the $20 or so million year enough, Jete?  You have to take [...]

All Free Agency Team?

Hmmm…wasn’t this posted on the Roundtable like…ummm…a week ago?
I guess Ted Keith from SI.com has difficulty coming up with his own ideas for a story. Read is here…

Five tips to save nearly $9000.00 a year!!!

With the economy being so tough, it’s important that we all focus on saving money. I know this is a baseball site, but I thought I would share 5 tips to save some cash: 
1. Cable or Satellite TV: Cancel your cable and tap into your neighbors system. You won’t have any of the fancy features like [...]

Adam Dunn

Adam Dunn is not a completely crazy move.  If you look at his stats (for the money you would give him), he offers some pretty good production for the buck.  He does strikeout alot which may not be what you want for this particular lineup.  Also, Dunn doesn’t play CF.  I don’t know how that [...]

So…as for the 2009 team

There are reports that the Yanks are interested in Adam Dunn IF they can dump either Matsui, Swisher, or Nady. I’m not sure how this makes sense….any insight?

This is crazy

We went several days without any posts to several within a couple of hours because of Torre’s book.  What?  No Super Bowl?  Anyway…. I look at this like a family, airing the dirty laundry for public consumption  – can’t be good.  We are sure to give A-Rod his hits for not coming through in the [...]

Backpedal all you want Tom and Joe.

The SF Gate article only further cements my opinion.  All the talk from Verducci to say this is 3rd person etc. is BS.  Buster Olney had a great post today that Torre cant hide behin the author and pointed out that Torre himself blasted Wells for his book which aired dirty launry.  Buster points out:
Verducci said [...]

Poor Joe

Joe gave much to the Yankees over his twelve year reign:  4 WS championships; 12 consecutive playoff appearances; and a significant increase in stadium attendance.  For this he was well compensated.  He was the highest paid manager in baseball.  He also made mega bucks in endorsements that only come from the New York City market.  [...]

The Yankee Years

Joe, I think I understand your point. You’re basically saying that it’s not like he penned a book about how great it was to manage the Yankees. He co-authored what is believed to be a somewhat negative book – which is his perogative – but that choice comes with consequences – and now he should no [...]

The Yankee Years

It doesn’t matter that a San Fran writer pens a “sane” article or the NY Post rants and raves.  As I said before, it doesn’t matter what is in the book.  What matters is that Torre wrote it in the first place.  There is only one reason to write this book no matter what Verducci [...]
