i kind of agree with Cindy here. but this was a conference call for the media, so reporters could write their stories. the fact that pete posted it as a MP3 is a luxory to us, and much appreciated.

i think it’d be another story if a YES postgame interview included a univision reporter’s question that very few watching YES would understand. you’d see a lot more than a few gripes on a blog.

Cyndy:

I probably read your post too quickly and apologize for any misinterpretation.
My ire is raised at any mention of “official languages”, “this is America”, things like that.
I felt implications that I guess go far beyond Baseball.
Issues better left to other blogs.
Ciao

I’m telling you Tony Pena is the guy , he has that swagger that can rub on the players, another words he can bring out the fighting dog in them.

I don’t care what happens Tony Pena needs to be a head manager or the bench coach to the head manager.

LETS GO TONY !!!

Cindy the Spanish question was for Univision which is a NATIONAL Spanish speaking teelvsion station thus why the question was asked and answered in Spanish.

You gotta love the fact that we are critiquing the teleconfernce operators, that makes me laugh out loud

One thing is for certain, if Girardi is selected you can say goodbye to A-Rod. He will definetely opt out. If Mattingly is selected they may have a better chance to retain A-Rod. That is the only benefit of giving Donnie the nod.

Good long post Dave. I agree with mostly what you said. I hope Joey Girardi gets the job.

2004-2005 was my freshman year here.

My roomate was a Red Sox fan. We have not spoken since that October.

“youâ€™re just as likely to run into a Red Sox fan as a Yankee fan.”

That’s so true — at least since 2004.

Laura–Yes, but New York City alone has a population larger than most states, and in upstate New York, at least where I go to school, you’re just as likely to run into a Red Sox fan as a Yankee fan.

We shouldn’t assume that Mattingly is going to be Torre Part II. He’s never managed, so how do we know what kind of managerial style and approach he has?

I don’t recall Girardi being the hard guy butt kicker when he was the bench coach under Torre. He didn’t have that aggressive style until he became the man in charge.

Putting a label on Mattingly and his so-called managerial style now is nothing more than speculation at this point.
