He seems like it....and you could be right.



How about this....they hope NIM-ROD opts out.....and then they can easily sign both Sabbathia and Santana.


Their pitching woes would get fixed in a hurry.

Joe Girardi? That's a slap in the face to Donnie Baseball. Don't those fools know Donnie is like a Chuck Norris Jr.?

Most likely the money they saved.....could go toward "A"-rod or the fellas in Tampa may give it to that "old man" Clemons....

shame on the Yankee brass! they handled the whole thing with Joe like CRAP!!!

Girardi is a bad fit. He couldn't get along with the bosses in Miami and he was against using a few of the many rookies that produced big in 2006. How's he going to do working for the people in NY.

Mattingly doesn't seem ready able or even willing.

They need a big name. LaRussa or Bobby Valentine is who they should go after.
