    Daily news says the steinbrenners are exploring selling the team. Ownership and management say bullshit

    Wouldn't be a surprise just don't sell the team to Dolan.

    Agreed. And as much as I would hate to see the Steinbrenner family not involved with the Yankees, I think at this point I wouldn't be totally opposed to it. Hal is much more concerned about making money than his father was and new ownership would be under a huge amount of pressure to put a great team on the field. Would be really weird though. Mixed feelings, I definitely think there is something to this report even if the article talks mostly about banking speculation.

    Maybe I'm wrong. Here's a good take from Will Leitch

    The team not under the Steinbrenners would be weird. It's already weird without George.

    This story seems like total BS by the news. I'm not a huge fan of the Bosses kids but I rather they kept the team than sell it to a piece of shit like Dolan.

    Triple a depth, I would imagine.

    CC looked ok today. Had me a little nervous in the game early but usually is the case he sharepns up as the game progresses. Makes me wonder sometimes if they need to warm him up longer before the game.

    Impressive outing for Kuroda today. Oakland isn't exactly an offensive giant but he did what he had to do.

    Nice sweep, and I liked the pitching throughout.

    Although that Oakland lineup really is a travesty.
