The Official New York Yankees Thread

Plain and simple, we were outplayed.

Hats off to The Rangers.
( of Baseball and Texas )

Now, its time to focus on the football Giants and Hockeys' Rangers.

rival.

hats off to the rangers... good luck the rest of the way. don't want to say the yankees didn't want this series, but can't be too upset.. the rangers deserved to win.

4 months until pitchers and catchers

Disappointing end to a fun season. While this team was awesome at times, it just didn't have the feel of the 2009 team. Overall, another fun season of Yankees baseball.

A few questions going into the offseason.

Jeter, Mo, Pettitte and Girardi. Assume all will be back.

Where does Montero fit in next season? How many games does Posada catch?

Cliff Lee, Cliff Lee, Cliff Lee.

I hate to think of this but when Jeter retires, I don't think I would be able to watch as many Yankee games as I am now. All I've known since I started watching baseball in 1996 is Derek Jeter. He's my favorite player. It's going to be so weird to not see him as the starting shortstop in the future.

Very cool that she worked for them. Thats awesome. What did she do?

I am pretty suprised by that. Always seems like Eiland, Pena, Long and Girardi have a good relationship. Less suprised by some of the players but from the outside looking in, I have always thought he has done a good job. Cashman said the other day that resigning Girardi is going to be the first order of business.

i don't know bro ..it seems like everything is cool ..but apparntly their are some behind the scenes problems


time will tell


she had a 9-5 back-office job at the stadium in pr

If the Yankees are to sign Cliff Lee, how much do you think they would spend on that signing? I'm trying to gauge how much the Yankees total spending would be in 2011.

I think it will be around $25 mil a year, maybe a few dollars less, $23.5 will probably be the low end I think.. After signing Mo, Jeter, Pettitte and most likely Cliff Lee, next years payroll will be similar to this past years.

i think montero is gonna be the backup catcher. unless they sign a free agent catcher. i don't think cervelli will be back. maybe they trade him for a reliever. i just think they're going to bring montero up and have peña work with him. get him ready for more catching duties in 2012.

Did you all just see that from the Vikings/Packers game? They showed Jeter in full Red Sox gear, Jordan in Knicks jersey and Bird in Lakers jersey also Elway as a Raider. The Jeter one was too funny.

I did not see that. It is basphomy.

cliff lee is a beast and a yankee killer, but i don't like the whole mentality of... can't beat him, sign him. yankees will get a lot of flack for signing him, not because of the $, but because it's a cheap way to avoid facing another player.

kind of like how steinbrenner was persuing griffey in the 90's.

Dave Eiland was fired today.

odd.
He is a pretty good pitching coach.

That's dumb..... I hope Burnetts struggles didn't have anything to do with it. We all know he only pitches well in contract years! Typical head(s) have to roll if we don't win it all.
