I'm watching the Yankee game tonight in my Yankees boxer shorts.
Seriously. My wife got 'em for me.

Yo...EVH...you're a Yank fan...aren't you sick of Steinbrenner?
To be honest with ya. I respect him more now than I did in the 70's/80's when he was a total madman. Granted we all mellow with age but he has calmed down considerably.
I think he is a good businessman that wants to see a return on his investment. He will do what's the best for the Yanks and that makes the players and the fans feel good.
I think everyone and anyone would want and appreciate an owner like that.
The Yankees suck -- bottom line -- the most overrated team in pro sports

I wouldn't mind an owner who goes out and gets players...but judas priest...
does the fucker have to go to the papers every other week?
It's mind numbing...
I'm sick of him. I think the only reason he kept his mouth shut was that they barely faltered for five or so years. And as soon as things started to go bad you see his old self creeping back. Believe me, he would have went nuts if the Mets won in 2000, and it could have happened, not likely, but possible.

I AM curious though...I wonder if Yankee fans THINK they should can Cashman and Torre...and go in a new direction...
this "slump" of there's is like 5 years of 2nd division for most teams...
I am curious at what the real Yank fans feel about this shit...
Oh yeah definetly.Originally posted by superdave

The bottom line is that you're an idiot.
Now get out of this thread and go into one in which you know what the fuck you're talking about.
If it were my decision, I'd never can Torre unless it looked like senility was setting in. He obviously knows what he's doing and has the right temprement for the NY Press/Steinbrenner bullshit.
I was mad at the time they hired him after losing Showalter. But when he benched Kenny Rogers right after signing a big contract I was impressed that he wasn't going to manage by looking at the payroll. I thought Showalter was a little guilty of that in regards to Danny Tartabull who he would never drop in the order, or bench, no matter how bad he got.
Cashman I wouldn't care about either way. I think he is more of a Big Stein puppet. I think it was Gene Michael who made the good scouting decisions that put the core of the team togethet, and Bob Watson made some good moves, like Torre.
I wouldn't dump Torre. I'd give him the whole season to right the ship. He deserves that much.Originally posted by POJO_Risin

Maybe they should dump Cashman for a veteran/older/seasoned GM?
What would you do broham? The veteran players have high salaries obviously. Dump them while they're stock is high? It's definetly an avenue they could go down.
What the fuck happened to Michael...did he die?
and Watson had to much of an opinion...
I'm curious about Cashman...would be interesting to see him go to another team...see if he's any good...or just led around with Steiney's hand up his heiney...
I don't know EVH...
I'd probably bump Torre up to GM...and give him the keys...
fire Mattingly...and hire Girhardi as manager...
Move Bernie up to assistant GM...Torre would demand to keep some of the old guard...
waive Giambi...
trade some of the stars for some youth...but try and keep some of the key players...
but I'd definately try and keep Torre in the house...but it's time to get rid of the elders...some of them...
you know...when do you ask yourself this...are the Yankees problems deals? Or are they Torre's inablility to let go of the players he feels responsible for?
It might be a little early to talk about dumping players. I can barely remember them ever dumping a player. Maybe Ricky Henderson for Plunk, Caderet, and someone else - but that was because they knew he wouldn't re-sign with them.
Bernie's locked up and not worth his salary; who would have predicted Giambi's breakdown, other people use steroids I think; Moose has dropped off; Johnson is fun to bring in, but a gamble at 41 that's not paid off so far; Kevin Brown, WTF....
A bad series against a bad team doen't mean the season's over. Big Stein shouldn't say the team is letting NY down as if they aren't giving their all.
Wow. What in Joe Torre's career makes you think he would be a good GM?...Originally posted by POJO_Risin

He's friggin KC Jones of MLB...just put 'em out there and let 'em play...

Well the losing streak is over. Rivera set the Twins down 1,2,3 in the tenth.
I guess I'll keep wearing my Yankees boxer shorts for awhile.
It would be a PR ploy by Steiney...like hiring Billy Martin 6 times in 10 years...and Torre would want to do it to take care of his players...
I'm not saying he'd be good...but I wouldn't compare him to KC Jones either...
lets not forget that before Torre...the Yanks didn't do shit for over 10 years...
Well the early 90's were lean. The Yankees in the 80's won more games than any team in baseball. There were no wildcards then.Originally posted by POJO_Risin

Ironically, the curse is over because of the wildcard. In the good ole days Boston doesn't even make the playoffs last year.
yanks lose, sox win

Yankees to announce $800 million ballpark
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees will announce detailed plans Wednesday for a new $800 million ballpark, which would be built adjacent to the current Yankee Stadium and could be ready by the 2009 season.
The team has spent years planning the new stadium, which will have a capacity of at least 50,800 -- approximately 6,000 seats fewer than the current ballpark -- but could be expanded to about 54,000. It would be constructed in Macombs Dam Park, to the north of the current stadium, and financed by the team.
Yankee Stadium, which opened in 1923, is the third-oldest park in use in the major leagues, younger only than Boston's Fenway Park (1912) and Chicago's Wrigley Field (1914). Yankee Stadium was renovated extensively in 1974-75, but the team has long desired a modern ballpark with more luxury suites and wider concourses.
The stadium plan calls for the new ballpark to resemble the original Yankee Stadium in many of its details, and the dimensions of the playing field would be identical to the current ballpark. It would have 50-60 suites, up from 18 in the current stadium.
Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, New York Gov. George Pataki and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg planned to attend a Wednesday news conference announcing the stadium, Steinbrenner spokesman Howard Rubenstein said. The Yankees hope to start construction in 2006 and move into the new ballpark in 2009, an ambitious timetable that given the delays that frequently occur in construction in New York.
Approval from the state Legislature and the City Council is necessary. The state would contribute about $70 million to increase parking from 7,000 spaces to 11,000, and the city would replace the lost parkland as part of the deal. A new commuter train station and expanded ferry terminal also is part of the plan.
Just last weekend, the city and the Mets announced plans for a new $600 million ballpark next to Shea Stadium. That facility would be used for the 2012 Olympics the International Olympic Committee votes July 6 to award the event to New York.
That plan was drawn up after last week's collapse of the proposal to build a retractable-roof stadium in Manhattan for the NFL's Jets and the Olympics.
The Yankees and New York City's government agreed several weeks ago to a memorandum of understanding for the new Bronx ballpark. The team will pay for the stadium on its own, and the cost of paying off the bonds used to raise the money will be deducted from the Yankees' locally generated revenue. That will lower the Yankees' revenue sharing payments to the commissioner's office.
doesnt anyone think that the yankees should use there money on something better than a new ballpark?

I don't know how to feel about a 'new' Yankee Stadium. That place is a shrine. But, I can understand the need for more luxury boxes and parking. I understand they may leave the field intact as a museum.
The Yankees are back at .500 (32-32). They have won the first two games of the series vs. the Pirates.
I'm very impressed with the Pirates infield. They turn doubleplays just as good as anyone. Very solid up the middle. The 3rd baseman (can't recall his name right now) is no slouch either.
The Yanks get a gift call on what should have been the 4th double play of the game in the 9th, what should have ended the game....
But of course, the call goes against the Buccos...
And of course, eventually, it bites them in the ass....
As Mesa absolutely GROOVES one to Giambi...
I'll be one happy guy when they trade that has-been closer....
Juice or no juice, Giambi tatered that ball, deep in the upper deck....
I like the idea of the Yanks getting a new stadium...
I hate the Yanks...but they are the prestige team of baseball...and love the idea of a stadium that has the GOOD parts of the Yank stadium after 1974...along with the stuff that should still be there from the original construction...
There are many things that are going to get moved right over...from the old field to the new field...
I do...question the 800 million dollar price tag though...
I watched the game with my wife and son and they showed the replay a few times. He (Sheffield) was indeed out. It was close but he was out.Originally posted by Va Beach VH Fan
