Standing O, you could put Martin-Steinbrenner in that group, or Steinbrenner-anybody else with an ego.

Bruneyâ€™s injury was a foot, no??? Plus Bruney has actually retired a major league batter in his career, right? Brandon, Sanchez has gotten such kid glove treatment in the GCL (11 IP in 2 months, 4 IP in the past 35 days) that it makes little sense to think theyâ€™d accelerate his progress to the point of being in the bigs.

Fredo I know but I got that feeling especially hearing Nardi speak about him. I think he was close to be healthy they rushed him a bit and now he could be near 100 %, if that is true he can move up quickly.

Jenn. If you have a friend that is a Mets fan tell him/her John Maine is about to be done for the season. They can’t risk his longterm for this year.

“Have their ever been two bigger egos in the history of sports that have gone head to head other than George and Billy?”

More of an “ego triangle” when you put Reggie in the picture.

Here’s another thought: if you want to prevaricate, make sure everyone is on the same page.

Girardi: Hey [player x], don’t let on that your arm is falling off, I just told the media that you’re weightlifting Subarus on your off day.

This would avoid Girardi looking like an idiot, when the media walks from his office to player x’s locker to watch him reattaching his arm with duct tape.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson? I don’t know I’m drawing a blank, it would be a good discussion.

GB:

Reggie was 2 for 16 off Splittorff in 1977, including his Game 1 O’fer, and was 1 for 14 in the series before the benching. You are 100% correct about the Martin/Steinbrenner piece of it though. In the end, Billy didn’t prove what he had hoped to I guess. Good thing.
