    2 Third basemen MVP's. One in the regular season the other in the post probably won't be in their teams next year.

    but his agent actually made the announcement, didn't he?

    the announcement came out as the game was ending, he probably figured the WS was about to be over so why not come out with it.

    That was mighty big of his agent to think for sure the RS were going to take the series in 4. It would be something if nobody signs him for the kind of money he's going to be looking for.

    We shall see.

    I think Lowell will be back. Theo told him earlier this week that he is the team's highest priority to bring him back sort of like in 04 when they made Tek the number 1 priority when they had all those free agents.

    If he could get the Giants to pay all that money to Barry Zito. This shouldn't be too hard. I was hoping Alex would break the all time homerun record as a yankee.

    no I mean the announcement came out right before the end of tonight's game so maybe they thought, hey, it looks like the WS is about to be over so let's announce it now

    who knows, I don't know if they gave it that much thought about what day to announce it

    but I think he's known for a while what he was going to do. He used those other reasons as a lame excuse-it makes him look like a liar

    Personally, I think it's a total bush league move to make that announcement in the middle of the World Series while a game is going on.

    A Rod and Boras just want the media spotlight on them and I hope he signs another monster deal with another team with no chance to compete.

    He and his agent just totally disrespected the game tonight.

    not only that, but how bout not showing up to get an award from hank aaron - one of the greatest players ever. i doubt he had a family function that prevented him from being there.

    You guys really think so? Why? Like it took some of the spotlight away from the Sox?
    hmm. I have to think about that.
    I mean they made it at the end of the night, it wasn't 'in the middle'

    I don't know....

    not like I'm a fan of his or anything. I don't think they purposefully meant for it to go down like that
    or if they did, I think it was Boras, I don't think it was A-rod's doing. I think he does whatever Boras tells him to do.

    he didn't say function, I read he said committment or something like that. His wife is pregnant.

    he could feed all the starving children in Africa from the money he makes. Geesh!

    I am sorry. Blech.

    I mean I guess they could have done it on purpose, that would be so characteristically narcissistic of him
    but I don't know..

    they did do at the end of the ballgame, not like during Game 1

    Plus A-Rod's announcement also pushes the Yankees decision on manager to the back burner.

    Just a totally narcissistic move by him and Boras.

    they showed the quote from Hal Steinbrenner that will be in today's Daily News
    he said that A-Rod "doesn't understand what it means to be a Yankee"
    and "I don't want anyone on MY team .. " like that

    that was the gist of it.

    the headline will read "GET LOST" OOOH! D'oh!

    Peter Gammons just said maybe there's a reason he's never been in a WS game

    i didn't agree with the steinbrenner's comments on torre, but i love this comment on a-rod. it sounds like the good old days when his father would pop off like it was a bodily function..

    DENVER -- "The Red Sox can have their Nation. The Yankees have the universe."
    -- Hank Steinbrenner, New York Yankees senior vice president


    That the Yankees' Steinbrenner says otherwise is one-third arrogance, one-third ignorance and one-third stupidity. Then again, that sort of self-infatuation helps explain why the Yankees haven't played in a World Series since 2003 and haven't hoisted the sterling silver Commissioner's Trophy above their heads since 2000.

    Wow. I believe this is a huge mistake for A Rod. First of all, he was going to make a ton of money with the Yankees, its not like he needed more. And if he had stayed he would for sure gone down on the list as one of the greatest Yankees of all time (sorry people but its true) said in the same breath as Babe Ruth. Now, he'll still be known as a great player, but he'll just be remembered as a huge asshole more than anything I think. The Yankees have some big holes to fill now.

    About Girardi, I know Yankee fans love Don Mattingly, but I personally think that Girardi will be a better manager than Mattingly, so I think this should be treated like good news for you guys.

    I agree with you about Girardi. This could be quite a pivitol time for the yankees, New Manager, New Owners stepping in (still in the family but new nonetheless), Star Player gone, a couple long standing players could leave (posada, riveria, pettite)

    If those three leave that means Jeter is the only hold over from the late 90's glory run.

    On the bright side the young pitching looks like it has talent and hopefully will make a splash. Although next year could be a rebuilding year and letting the youngsters get their feet wet wtih a full season.

    If the yankees are getting younger Girardi makes perfect sense.
