A certain President of a NY Baseball Organization is on the Board of Advisors for the Israeli Baseball League. Coincidence? Drive 4-5:

Outfielder Jason Rees, who is from Australia, and catcher Eladio Rodríguez, who is from the Dominican Republic, were signed to minor league deals. Rees played for the Bet Shemesh Blue Sox , managed by the former Yankee Ron Blomberg, in the inaugural season of the league." YES,there is STILL time to throw Ron Blomberg's hat into the ring!! MY choice is Bloomy, the made most famous for being the first DH, the best sideburns and this quote " FRom today’s NY Times:

Cashman will simply inform ARod, Mo, Posada, and Pettite - and their respective agents - on who their managerial selection is and they'll negotiate from there.

He's handcuffing the Yankees for no reason. If they announce. it'll be a one day story outside of NY. If they hold on, it'll turn into a circus and when wil lit be the right time? After the victory parade in Boston, after ARod opts out, After Mo and Po get courted by other teams? I repeat, Selig is an ass. Selig is an ass.

How can we just assume the way Mattingly would manage this team? Yes, he has a laid back personality. So what? Does that mean he's a pushover too? Mattingly has never been the man in charge so we have no idea what kind of manager he's going to be. Under Torre, neither Willie Randolph nor Joe Girardi were getting into people's faces when they had the bench coach gig during the Torre era. We didn't see that kind of hardass attitude from them until they got their own gigs and became the men in charge. How are you so sure Mattingly isn't going to have that kind of fire in his belly as well? You are simply speculating on something in which you have no idea what you're talking about. Dave,

He pitched 78 innings...that's overused? If Mo had been on his game? Let's see in a 1 run game, he gave up a walk, stolen base, single. You are right, if he hadn't been overused in the regular season, he wouldn't have been smacked all over Fenway that night. It happens, sometimes the other team wants to win too. More of the 2004 collapse can be blamed on guys names Tony Clark and Ruben Sierra coming up in big spots. More of the 2004 collapse can be blamed on Gordon choking in Game 5. More of the 2004 collapse can be blamed on having Kevin Brown and Javier Vazquez pitching in a Game 7. Mo overused in 2004? He pitched 78 innings…that’s overused?
