you mean besides the two (mussina and johnson) you spent more on this past year ($36M) than the entire payroll of the tampa bay devil rays ($34M) or florida marlins ($14M) combined? your best pitcher (wang) only made 353,000 dollars- i'll be watching to see whose sells his soul to steinbrenner this offseason

Until there is a salary cap, quit whining. Every team has the opportunity to spend as much as they want to on their team. Steiny just decides to spend more ... so what?

I hate to see Torre leave ... i like him alot. I wish they would get rid of old sheffield & maybe a-rod, and pick up a pitcher that has shown consistency. I didnt like it when they picked up johnson b/c they just picked him in his decline period. Now Moose is declining as well. I say make a blockbuster trade to Twins for Santana.

Not to mention Rivera is getting older, and easier to bat against.

They need a total switcharoo in the organization.

Its all pitching. We've been fucked in that dept since Boomer, Clemons, and Pettite left

Breaking News on ESPN.com:

Boss does NOT fire Torre.

Joe will be back for year no. 12!!



THANK GOD! I was worried George would overreact and fire Joe. Whew.

Bye bye Lidle.

Funny how yankees still own the headlines, even though the Mets have moved on to the second round.

10/11/2006 6:46:34 PM

Yeah. Hilarious.

At the end of the day the Mets are still playing baseball and that's all I care about..

The press the Yankees are getting is a)bad or b)tragic. I'll take the Mets lack of press over that..

ahhh, jealousy

10/11/2006 11:41:45 PM

Good point. I'd much rather have questions about my third baseman, have my manager be on the brink of being fired, and one of my starting pitchers have a tragic accident in a plane.

Must be jealousy.

Just because it needs to be said here, too:

Horrible, horrible news. RIP

10/11/2006 11:47:11 PM

^^^Did you actually say that?

10/12/2006 12:13:31 AM
