Let Mo & Posada go. They’ve been great, but are on the downside of their careers. If they have no loyalty to the Yankees, then it’s best they spend their twilight years elsewhere.

_Do some research on Randy Levine and get back to me. This guy is a bigger clown than Bozo._

Peter,

I just got an IM from my good friend, Bozo. He’s offended by the comparison !

“The Yankees” are Randy Levine. They’ve been becoming that for awhile only most fans didn’t know it. He is not a “son,” either. The tone is set by whomever is in charge and he has set it. It is a new team. I’ll have to wait and see if I care to support it. I’ve said for a long time I hope Mariano Rivera goes to another team. The main issue isn’t that they didn’t extend his contract at a certain point in time, it’s the fact that they publicly huimiliated him by not placing a phone call to him to discuss it. As Cashman said yesterday when asked about free agents, “certain players have said they want to be Yankees for life.” Mariano of course has said this many times and it seems Cashman filed the information and went on to other duties. The coolest person on the planet is still at some point human. Oh yes, Randy Levine seems to have lots of influence on the internet as well.

I’m confused. We don’t need these greedy old Torre boot-lickers (that helped win those 4 series so long ago) and we’re ready to enjoy the kids (no cathcer in the lot and the future closer bug-shy)but our ownership demands a world series title every year and Joe didn’t deliver so he had to go.

Attendance up or down watching the kids play .500 ball?

Mangled is accurate Pete

Without question, Cashman’s biggest tasks after the new manager is on board is the signings of A-Rod, Mo, Jorge, Jose Molina, and possibly Luis Vizcaino closely followed by the options of Pettitte and Abreu.
Forgotten by many but weighing heavy on Cashman’s mind is moving the contracts of Giambi, Mussina, and Farnsworth.

Mario and Jorge should both walk out for the shabby treatment of Joe

At least Rivera and Posada are coming off good years. Unlike a certain classless, clueless ex-manager.

“Girardi? Better get ready for those young kids arms to possibly fall off, because that is his record from Florida.”

yeah, torre never does that to his pitchers. without the joba rules torre wouldve blown joba’s arm off just look at game 3.

“That said, Brian are you remotely aware that your contract is up in 2008? This should be interesting, performance incentives anyone?”

even Torre said Cashman was the only one who wanted him back, so i’m not sure what your point is.
