Saw this story over on Can’t Stop The Bleeding and had to share.
A high school in Lutz, Fla., will be named after George Steinbrenner.
No word on when BSHS (Big Stein High School) will be official. I just want to know what their mascot will be. The Yankees? The Pinstripes? Will Hank and Hal get to coach?
Nice headline, Pete.
The Boss is high? Ohhhhhhhh. Boss High School. I see now.
say it ain’t so, Andy
Daily News is reporting hgh was given to Andy
I really don’t care I still love him.
They can hire the principal and then fire him four or five times. Or trade some promising science teachers for some washed up shop teacher ready to retire.
Pete heard this morning about a school being named after the real boss. Bruce.
Have you heard anything about this?
If it’s true, then I’m glad that Andy will be with the Yankees so he’ll have the support of the guys. It’d be sad to see him waste away on the ranch like McGwire did.
I wish I could teach at BSHS.
String,
Or fire the baseball coach after the first five-game losing streak.
mel: LMAO!
I know it might sound odd, but I see NY fans sticking behind Pettitte.
A leaked list: http://www.wnbc.com/sports/14845845/detail.html
not too many yankees. pettitte hurts. plenty of red sox too. varitek? mo
vaughn, garciaparra, etc. very interesting.
Rebecca,
But the coaches shouldn’t fear, because they’ll get their job back when the gym teacher that replaced the coach cracks up.
Clemens implicated in Mitchell Report. Not too shocking I guess. E-mail going around with supposed list as well – has Pujols, Tek, and other big names on it.
http://mlbfleecefactor.com/200.....ll-report/
it sounds like news ch. 4 and 880 AM thinks the leaked list is official I doubt their reporter stoled a list
Rebecca,
Not only that, they will RALLY around him.
Howie Spira for hall monitor!
Clemens implicated.
http://mlbfleecefactor.com/200.....ll-report/
I’d believe the leaked list is official.
Leaked SW III script was official, leaked HP was official…
And the leaked lists are basically the same at every source.
According to 1050 ESPN Radio the Twins have signed Adam Everett.
I dont find this list too suprising.
Sorry for double-post, didn’t think 1st one posted for some reason.
Less than 2 hours for the big news!!
All the players will rally around each other.
Hey mel,
Did you get a chance to read my post yesterday that had more names added to your “hate to have these jobs”? If you did,hopefully it wasnt a buzz kill. Thoughts?
Updated post at wnbc.com. MLB informed them that there were errors in it, so it was pulled.
what a story…meanwhile, Klapisch of the Bergen Record is breaking news on 1050 that ARod threw Boras under the bus during the conference call.
Where o Where is the audio, Pete….guess I’ll have to go read about it at the Bergen Record blog….
AROD TRASHED SCOTT BORAS ON HIS OPT OUT, “Scott Boras told me I was not wanted back”
wally joyner? WHen was the last time wally joyner played baseball, is pat tabler on the list too?
Bob Klapish just said on the Max Kellerman show that Arod said during a call today that Boras was the reason for the opt-out and that they may be done as his agent. He just threw him under the bus for the whole opt-out fiasco.

SOS,
No, I didn’t see it. I was a little disappointed that no one added any job descriptions.
Care to post the link or copy & paste?
All the Sons of Foghog Leghorn disappeared with the leaked list. A lot of 2004 Sox team members.
Got this off another Blog.
Thats a bunch of crap. No big names from Boston. Im shocked.
This was a joke from the get go. Can you say conflict of ineterest.
A-Rod also stated that the only reason A-Rod didn’t fire Boras is because he believes he won’t need an agent due to the length of his contract, but essentially their relationship is dead!
After reading Moneyball, its not suprsing that Dykstra could be on the list.
Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander, Rick Ankiel, Jeff Bagwell, Barry
Bonds, Aaron Boone, Rafael Bettancourt, Bret Boone, Milton Bradley,
David Bell, Dante Bichette, Albert Belle, Paul Byrd, Wil Cordero, Ken
Caminiti, Mike Cameron, Ramon Castro, Jose and Ozzie Canseco, Roger

McGwire, Guillermo Mota, Robert Machado, Damian Moss
Where is that A-Rod quote about Boras published?
Klapish also said that the whole Mitchell report is about what team trainers thought were on steriods and that there are no facts.
This whole report is a Joke!
here is the report from newsday:
http://weblogs.newsday.com/spo....._camp.html
Congrats George! Well deserving. The Mascot should be Dark Vader (don’t know if that’s the spelling, from Star Wars) of course.
Classic post!!
Can I add a few names as well?
Moises Alou-bat holder
Arods-shrink
Pedro and Manny’s-barber
Schillings-laundry guy
Sosa’s-batboy
Whatya think?Any?
Whoa, whoa whoa – I think the list should be deleted from this board. If there are errors on it, it is completely, totally unfair to those players listed in error to keep this on the site.
That’s good PR by A-Rod to throw Boras under the bus like that. He doesn’t need Boras anymore because this is going to be his last major-league contract.
Not saying A-Rod is lying, but it makes sense for a PR standpoint because he’s the guy who has to play in NY for the next 10 years. Boras has done his job with A-Rod and can now focus on his other clients.
Its not Dark Vader it is Darth Vader.
Here’s the list of players named by Mitchell.

It’s Darth Vader, not Dark Vader.
SOS,
Good ones. Guess we can add:
Guy that does Coco Crisp’s cornrows
Guy that carries Matsui’s luggage
I am surprised beam, desalvo and rasner are the three that may leave. Particularly, Rasner who has excelled at the major league level when given an oppurtunity in 20 plus innings each over the last two seasons. He has performed far better than igawa in the majors and would be a solid spot starter and long-man out of the pen. Despite Desalvo’s decent performance in AAA, he has been pounded over 27 innings in the majors so I can understand why he may be gone. Beam had all of Torre’s trust but none of anyone elses – i dont mind him leaving either. I wish we retained rasner and let go of someone else but i dunno who. Igawa will most likely give us nothing over the next season. Cant they offer him a minor league contract in order to take him off the 40 man like they did with pavano? Bruney is probably not going to be as much of an asset as rasner would be over the next season either – 37 walks and 44 hits in 50 innings good for a 1.62 whip is not what you want out of a reliever. He has good stuff but no control whatsoever. Rasner has decent stuff with great control which i prefer out of the pen when we have guys like farnsworth (29 walks in 60 innings,) jose veras (7 walks in 9 innings) and edwar ramirez (14 walks in 21 innings) as our other options. Although I do think Edwar has pretty great stuff.
If no redsox is mentioned in the report, Mitchell doesnt lose some of his credibility. He loses all of it – Ive never seen a more clear-cut case of conflict of interest in my life.
When did Max Kellerman become a steroid lobbyist?
The list I posted IS the first half of the list. So, whoa, whoa, whoa, yourself, bub.
Jason Varitek is on the list, as is the dearly missed Mo Vaughn. So is Eric Gagne.
There are more “bombshell” Yankees (who would’ve guessed Giambi?) like Damon and Pettitte. But Varitek is the big, fearsome captain of the Sox. So it is what it is.
Rasner will return, per his father. But he’s not very good. He’s a soft tosser. He’s injury prone (though in fairness, of the freak variety). I wouldn’t feel too comfortable putting him in in a tight spot. Maybe a spot start against Tampa.
halfz – No, that is NOT the 1st half of the list. This is the email that’s been going around for a day.
MLB has refuted at least some of the names on that list leading to MSNBC to take the list down off the internet.
halfz – Im not saying rasner is great but he does have pretty good numbers in the majors and he has pretty solid control unlike the majority of our current bullpen. I just think the pen is going to have so many flaws this yr, we really need all the help we can get. And rasner would add to the diversity of a pen that is full of hard-throwing righties with no control. Additionally, i think the hawkins acquisition isnt enough and if that deal does help, it certainly doesnt make a significant impact on the bullpen next yr. A compilation of mediocre players, decent players and those with high cielings of ramirez, veras, ohlendorf, britton, hawkins, farnsoworth, henn, whright, Igawa, karstens, bruney, albedejo and the late editions of horne, melancon, cox and sanchez possibly does not mean the bullpen will be solid next yr. I dont think one can just accumulate a massive amount of righties and horrible lefty relief arms and past starters and expect to have a number of them rise up out of the garbage and give us effective relief. More likely it will be similar to the pen before joba where we will struggle to find a decent arm that can get us through an inning every single game. I hope i am wrong but i feel a trade must be made in which we acquire someone who can act as our eighth inning guy and the rock of our pen like joba last yr and gordon of old and what farnsworthless was signed on to do but failed miserably.
And whats with everyone saying the yanks will be hit hard by the mitchell report – could that possibly be because a redsox employee ran the investigation or is that crazy talk. And i really cant think of anyone besides giambi and possibly pettitte who are currently on our 40 man roster and have ever even been linked to steroids in the past.
Whatever. The list, in whatever iteration, is a joke.
Most players either use, or have used something. How about a nice big bowl of greenies in the clubhouse?
I agree that Hawkins is far from enough. But “diversity” in the pen doesn’t mean a thing when it’s “bad for one reason” mixed with “bad for another.”
V-Teck is not on the list people! LOL
