    also did you guys see Boras/A-Rod apologized for their announcement after MLB said they shouldn't have made the announcement during the WS?

    And who saw Joe on David Letterman last night?
    He was funny, he said he thought it was hard to hit after Hank Aaaron! (after he had to come out after Seinfeld)

    The best part was him slipping up and saying "the Dodgers have a contract.......I mean a manager". Good luck to Joe. Gonna be really weird seeing him and Donnie wearing the Dodger blue next season. Especially Mattingly. I grew up with posters of him on my wall.

    An Ode to A-Rod



    Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette
    Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
    What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget

    That's one more time around,... the sun is going down
    The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting,
    Putting people down...he's pissing,.. he's living...
    A day he'll soon forget

    Counts his money every morning
    The only thing that keeps him horny
    Locked in a giant house, that's alarming
    The townsfolk,... they all laugh

    Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent
    Seems the more you make, equals the loneliness you get
    and it's fitting,... he's barely living,... a day he'll soon forget

    That's one more time around,... there is not a sound
    He's lying dead clutching Benjamins,... never put the money down
    He's stiffening,... we're all whistling...
    A man we'll soon forget

    Apparently...Yanks TV announcer Michael Kay bashed Torre on his radio show yesterday. Suprised to hear that. Anyone hear it??

    also....Girardi pumped me up yesterday. He is the man. Loved the reason he chose #27.

    Here's what I read in NY paper today about Michael Kay bashing Torre..

    New York Yankees play-by-play guy Michael Kay bashed Torre on his radio show Tuesday.

    "There are things about Joe Torre, if I wanted to come out and say, would show how cold and calculated he really is," Kay fumed. "... Joe Torre is for Joe Torre. ... The graveyard of Yankees coaches is loaded with bones of coaches Joe Torre did nothing about."

    That's no surprise. Kay can't exactly say those things on the air while Torre was managing since the network is owned by the Yankees but he has free reign on the radio. And I don't remember the specific incident but there was something really early in Torre's tenure that fractured the relationship between Kay and Torre.

    Kay is a moron. Which most people on the radio are these days. Lowest common denominator, and being stupid and arrogant only generates more calls anyways.

    it started in 1996. O'Neill and Bernie had a miscommunication on a fly ball and it fell in. The next inning, Bernie was pulled, but not O'Neill. Kay wenty inti the lockerrom after the game and asked why bernie was punished, and O'Neill wasn't. Torre ripped Kay a new one in front of the entire team, calling him Rona Barrett ( a famed gossip columnist). Kay was humiliated, and has carried a grudge since

    Wow, that is interesting. never heard that story.
    That is very unlike Torre. Presently he would never punish somebody as he did Bernie.

    Sources told ESPN's Buster Olney that before Alex Rodriguez opted out of his contract with the Yankees earlier this week, the team was told that it would not be able to meet with the third baseman unless it presented an offer of at least $350 million.


    350 million... that is crazy money for a guy who is what 31 years old alread?

    I have to admit I'm a little sick of it. I like baseball and the Yankees as much as the next person, but this is getting a little much. The other day, there were 10 stories on the Yankees in one of the newspapers.

    not only that and plus the fact that they're not even about an actual game.

    Abreu's option picked up for next season.

    I didn't see anything in the thread here, but you gotta love Andy Pettitte. His comments the other day make you respect him even more. Hopefully his choice will be to come back rather than hang em' up. It continues to amaze me that the Yanks once let him get away.


    I've grown to dislike Michael Kay and John Sterling so much. I think they were much more tollerable when they were doing radio together. Their egos seemed to cancel each other out. Since then, both their heads have swelled like a couple of Thanksgiving Day parade floats. Maybe they should reunite the titans of annoyance and let them battle it out until one kills the other. Now that would be good radio. Just give Singleton the full time tv play by play role. YES has a full starting 9 of announcers over there anyway.

    The Yankees made a few big mistakes when they let Charley Steiner go, and kept Sterling a few years back. They compounded that mistake by adding Waldman to the booth

    $350 Million !



    Boras told Yankees they needed $350 million offer for meeting with Alex Rodriguez
    By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer
    November 2, 2007

    Rodriguez opted out of his US$252 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007 in what appears to be the end of his career with New York.
    AP - Oct 29, 12:05 am EDT



    NEW YORK (AP) -- The Yankees were told by agent Scott Boras that they could not meet with Alex Rodriguez unless they presented an extension offer that guaranteed the star $350 million "as a floor."

    Boras' remarks, first reported Friday by ESPN.com, were made Oct. 25 during a conversation between the agent and general manager Brian Cashman, a baseball official said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because those details were not made public.

    Rodriguez had $81 million remaining over the final three years of his record $252 million, 10-year contract, and the deal contained an additional $10 million escalator. The Yankees were prepared to offer him an extension worth $25 million to $30 million a season for four or five years.

    Boras then notified the Yankees on Sunday that the star third baseman was opting out of the contract to become a free agent.


    Cashman declined to comment on the conversation, and Boras only would go into general details.

    "We've made no offers to anyone and we have received no offers from anyone," Boras said. "I'm not going to respond."

    New York said repeatedly that it would not negotiate with Rodriguez if he opted out.

    "Brian's made it clear, and I've made it clear," Hank Steinbrenner, son of owner George Steinbrenner, said Friday.

    His numbers may be missed, but he will not be. In fact, I believe the Yankees will continue the trend of teams getting better when AFRaud leaves.

    Seattle 2000 with him 91 wins
    Seattle 2001 w/out him 116 wins

    Texas 2003 with him 71 wins
    Texas 2004 w/out him 89 wins

    This isn't a game or 2. 15 and 18 win improvements, after losing the supposed best player in baseball
