that would be awesome.

 

Yankee fans, whose contracts are up besides Pettitte?

Posted

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.

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....

David Wells won't be retained

 

I don't ever want to hear about that fucking Gerbil coming back to Boston ever again

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.

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...

Costanza would be proud. :D

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.

We have a mascot, Wally the Green Monster...we don't need Tubby the Bowling Ball

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.

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).

no it doesn't, everybody knows snow grows in Canada

Zimmer's already been employed by the Red Sox and Yankees. Figured he'd worked his way around the AL East.

I forgot about Jeff Nelson. He's a free agent as well.

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

Posted
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.

Eddie Murray is the front runner with the Yanks !b coach coming in at a close second

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.

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
