104: Ya know, as much as Fox and ESPN have skewed the game in recent years so that their “favorite” teams always seem to be the ones “in contention”, it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the direction the game’s going in the future.

Vince McMahon as the next owner of the Yankees? Sad, but also, TOO FUNNY!

#113 – I agree completely.

Well, the rot in the Ms front office spreads far further than the GM (IMAO). If you get rid of McLaren and Bavasi, it’s a job only a quarter done.

108 – Well they haven’t done much good either, well not as much as they could do that is. I am worried that Mac won’t be fired, but at the same time. Its like this, (this is a metaphor) the players are the tools, Bavasi is the one that ‘purchases’ and provides the tools to Mac, and Mac is the one that uses them. In the case of Rick White and John Parrish, all three are to blame. Rick White and John Parrish obviously are rusty tools (whatever you tool want to call him is fine with you), Bill Bavasi shouldve known better than to purchase them, but thought they were just used and apparently have done the job in the past, lets put it that way. Now tools have certain uses, and Mac should’ve known better than to use the rusty tools at the times he did, when he had newer better ones to use. All 3 companents were messed up. I am hoping Bavasi and Mac get fired, but my prediction is John Mac and John Parrish won’t be here for next year, well Mac might be demoted back to Bench coach or some type of coach, but Bavasi will still be here unfortunately.

109: That’d work just as well. But I just wanted to make a gritty Bloomquist reference in the post, because I don’t think I ever have before.

I actually did hear Bill point out that there was no way to prepare for the situation that Mac walked into– and that he is working under the handicap of no longer having the best bench-coach in the league on his bench….

Well, that’s what he HAS to say….and I always regard it as a good thing not to be stabbed in the back in public. Common decency and all that…which we see far too little of. I pay far less attention to what Ms management SAYS….focus on what they DO.

Too much wrestling?

so, with HoRam (finally) officially banned to the bullpen, can they also take Weaver out of the rotation? Do we get to watch him “duel” with Hardin in Oakland?
