the timing of the comment is really bad.

or move Melky to the bench.

“Looks like another cluster**** next year and virtually the same offense returning”

Is he leaving - has he left or what? Was he fired or did he just decide to go? He is one of my favorite Yankees and I'd like to know what has or is going on with him and the team. Why not Tony Pena for manager? I certainly hope that his interview was not only to satisfy MLB minority rules. Tony is a great baseball guy and has more experience than either Don or Joe.

What the NYY truly need is a much better evaluation of players signed as free agents & acquired via trade. Their advance scouting also seems to be lacking something indefinable. My sense of humor aside, due to all the recent history & circumstances swirling around the Yankees since 2004, Mattingly is the man for the job. It should've been Lou, but they blew it. Twice.

So…, he was “canned� as he performed negatively last season? he quit for reasons known or unknown? There are never any more comments on Guidry’s role except for that one-liner. do you have any idea as to what’s up with that? And… the other thing we are reading as a constant one-liner without much dissection is that if Girardi (or long-shot Peña) is named Yankees manager for 2008, then Mattingly leaves the organization. Is this because he feels it would be a personal snub? Does he have other fish to fry? What’s up with that? Why couldn’t he stay on in some capacity? Would someone throw out this question at a press-conference or is it too charged? thx. Repost: question for Peter: (went unseen and/or unanswered)

I haven't seen any quotes to support it, just people stating it as if everyone knew. A year ago when he gave Mattingly the bench coach job, he all but said that he was grooming Mattingly to succeed Torre. As for Girardi, he seems to treat starting pitchers worse than Torre treated relievers. The starting staff in Florida had a lot of arm issues this year. Girardi also had the horrendous move of putting Josh Johnson back into a game after a long rain delay. Bad enough normally, but for a guy who recently complained about his arm pain? If Girardi gets the job, there better be some mighty strict rules on using Hughes & Joba, or they're going to be hurting bad a year from now.
