DerangedHermit Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 Am I crazy, or would Don Zimmer be good as the Bosox manager? *you're crazy*
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 that would be awesome. Yankee fans, whose contracts are up besides Pettitte?
Slayer Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 Am I crazy, or would Don Zimmer be good as the Bosox manager? He already fucked that up once, that's enough for us
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 I'm not a Yankee fan, but I can tell you that the Yankees have no major players up for free agency except Pettitte, and Clemens (but he's retiring). David Wells has a team option for next year. The Yankees can keep him for $6 Million, or let him go for $1 Mil.
JasonX Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 I've heard rumors to the effect that while Torre won't be fired, that the rest of the coaching staff will most definately be purged. Torre will then be forced into a position of either staying on in the final year of his contract as a lame duck coach with no real power and no chance in hell of coming back the following season or being allowed to quit and spare George the PR nightmare of firing Torre outright....
Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 David Wells won't be retained I don't ever want to hear about that fucking Gerbil coming back to Boston ever again
The Czech Republic Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 So is it safe to say the Toronto Blue Jays are going to win the division?
Guest Anglesault Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 So is it safe to say the Toronto Blue Jays are going to win the division? .... Only if the Yankees and Red Sox planes crash into each other in midair killing everyone.
Dr. Tom Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 Don Zimmer's leaving? too freaking bad. Next year he'll end up has the Orioles mascot, and act all buddy buddy with Angelos. WTF? He'd obviously have to the Red Sox's mascot...
Fökai Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 So is it safe to say the Toronto Blue Jays are going to win the division? .... Only if the Yankees and Red Sox planes crash into each other in midair killing everyone. Costanza would be proud.
Jobber of the Week Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 So is it safe to say the Toronto Blue Jays are going to win the division? Those poor guys are playing on astroturf all the damn time at home, aren't they? I'm suprised they're in good condition. Anyhoo, the sound of shocked silence in Yankees Stadium is a great one.

WTF? He'd obviously have to the Red Sox's mascot... We have a mascot, Wally the Green Monster...we don't need Tubby the Bowling Ball

Those poor guys are playing on astroturf all the damn time at home, aren't they? I'm suprised they're in good condition. Anyhoo, the sound of shocked silence in Yankees Stadium is a great one. Maybe they could play on that newfangled FuTurf (surface...of the FUTURE!) or NexTurf (surface...to the NEXT level) or FieldTurf (surface...that resembles a field) instead, or perhaps grass. I heard grass grows in Canada.
treble Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 I think they've talked about putting FieldTurf (or something like it) in SkyDome, but old fashioned Astroturf is the easiest thing to use considering how many different events are held there and how the conversion process takes place. Same reason they didn't put it in Olympic Stadium when they put in a new surface a few years back, even though I believe it was offered to them for free (I think the inventor or creator or whatever is from Montreal).
Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 I heard grass grows in Canada. no it doesn't, everybody knows snow grows in Canada
Vern Gagne Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Don Zimmer's leaving? too freaking bad. Next year he'll end up has the Orioles mascot, and act all buddy buddy with Angelos. WTF? He'd obviously have to the Red Sox's mascot... Zimmer's already been employed by the Red Sox and Yankees. Figured he'd worked his way around the AL East.
the max Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Well, the Oriole orange would look good on him.

David Wells has a team option for next year. The Yankees can keep him for $6 Million, or let him go for $1 Mil. I forgot about Jeff Nelson. He's a free agent as well.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Nelson is most likely going on probation(because athletes appear to be above the law) for assault, along with being sued...I don't see him making a team that wants to contend
Dr. Tom Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Well, the Oriole orange would look good on him. As a casket cover, perhaps, but that's it. I don't know who the new manager will be yet (I'd like to see Eddie Murray get the job), but I don't see any reason to put Don Zimmer on the coaching staff. Not that he's not a capable coach, but I'd prefer to see younger fellows who can relate to this generation of ballplayers better.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Eddie Murray is the front runner with the Yanks !b coach coming in at a close second
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 You'd think a resident baseball guru would know Lee Mazzilli. Chris Chambliss is always talked around as a capable managing candidate (with minor league experience). I'm surprised he doesn't get more press.
the pinjockey Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Nelson is most likely going on probation(because athletes appear to be above the law) for assault, along with being sued...I don't see him making a team that wants to contend Yes, because lord knows no team would want to take on a good reliever just because of some legal troubles. If an athlete performs at Nelson's level, problems are forgiven. And isn't Murray about one dotted i from being Orioles manager.
Guest Wildbomb 4:20 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 The similarities are amazing...
DerangedHermit Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Nelson is most likely going on probation(because athletes appear to be above the law) for assault, along with being sued...I don't see him making a team that wants to contend And your newest Detroit Tiger, Jeff Nelson!

If an athlete performs at Nelson's level, problems are forgiven. Nelson had an ERA of 3 1/2 for the season. That's not good
Dr. Tom Posted October 28, 2003 Report Posted October 28, 2003 Nelson had an ERA of 3 1/2 for the season. That's not good Considering that a 3.50 ERA is considersbly below the league average, what would you call it, then?
Guest jpclemmons Posted October 29, 2003 Report Posted October 29, 2003 I don't like cricket with rounders but I love watching the skankess lose.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted October 30, 2003 Report Posted October 30, 2003 Nelson had an ERA of 3 1/2 for the season. That's not good Considering that a 3.50 ERA is considersbly below the league average, what would you call it, then? Its a good ERA for a starter, not a bullpen arm
