    oh wait the thing about Girardi-did you guys hear him at the beginning of the game last night, he said "former manager" when Jeanie Zelasko was introducing him and he said "and that's all I want to say right now.."

    hmm
    I hope he is the manager. They can't announce it till after the WS, right?

    i think buster olney reported today that they had decided on girardi. good choice, if it's true.

    I'm going to say no because the Dodgers didn't get any compensation picks for Drew opting out last year to sign with the Red Sox.

    boras had it written into drew's contract that the dodgers couldn't offer him arbitration if he opted out.

    i believe the deal with a-rod was that the rangers (and then the yankees) couldn't offer him arbitration after his contract expired in 2010. but i'm pretty sure that this clause didn't cover a-rod opting out in 2007.

    I didn't know that Boras had that clause in Drew's contract.

    If you're right, then the Yanks would definitely offer him arbitration.

    the tampering investigation should be interesting. i doubt they'll be able to prove anything, but it'll still be fun to see how it all plays out.

    So you're happy that the best player, maybe in history, is leaving your club? I'd happily welcome the fucker to the Mets :)..

    Don't look now, but Boston just won it all again. Do you guys think they'll go after A-Rod?

    he is not the best player in history

    he's a liar, a whiner and a jinx

    yes, I'm happy

    and yes I know I watched the entire WS, thanks for the news flash :)

    why don't you try, um, reading the thread for the answer to the question :)

    That brings up an interesting survey. Who are your top 5 or 10 Yankees players in history?

    I think Mattingly has got to be up there in the top 3.

    hmm
    how far do we go back? Like to the times of Ruth, or modern times only?

    that's tough

    If we're going back that far, to Yankees of all time, I think for a top 10 list, you'd' have to say,
    Ruth
    Joe Di
    Gehrig
    Maris
    Reggie
    Munson
    Graig Nettles
    Mattingly
    Derek
    and Mo

    that's arguable though b/c some might think some of the pitchers were more valuable like Guidry and Catfish Hunter.. I don't know, it's tough to make a list. I think Ruth and Joe Di and Gehrig belong right up there :)
    that's my top 10 anyway :)

    Fun question, thanks

    That's a pretty good list. After I posted it occured to me that I should have specified all time or modern.

    No Mattingly and A-Rod next year. That's gonna suck. I hope A-Rod doesn't go to Boston. I don't wanna see Manny, A-Rod, and Ortiz back to back. And Pettitte, Posada and Rivera might no come back. Rivera possibly. But I know Posada was upset they didn't want to renew his contract. He could possibly go to Texas. I hope George steps in.

    I find it odd that A-Rod would let it get out that he's opting out on the day of the World Series. Sort of a low class act to me. Wht do ya'll think?

    well he is kind of low class to begin with imo
    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.

    It seems every other generation or so the Yankees get a prima donna.

    Mantle, Reggie Jackson, A-Rod....
