Jesus Christ let it go. Theo is a good GM, and that's coming from a Yankee fan.

The Sox are on a similar pace this century as they were last century, and we all know how that one ended ...sorry, I couldn't resist.

For a Red sox fan you seem to really hate the people running your organization.

Racist as it may be, that picture was too f***ing funny

Who might that be?

I don't even think it's fair to count 2007 Clemens.

Hopefully it never gets done. That wouldn't look very good for his credibility, but I just don't want that bum here. As I said before Bill Hall has to be included for me to be remotely satisfied.

Truer words have not been spoken. Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I think we need to address more than just the front end of our pitching staff to be the best in the division. Maybe add an arm to the pen (unless we decide to put Joba back there) and add Manny. I'm a die-hard Yankee fan and I don't even want Teixeira. Granted he's a great first baseman, but we have to chill out at some point. I don't like a 7-8 year deal for that kind of money for anyone. Besides, we need first base vacant in the coming years for either Jeter or Posada. Just give me Manny and I'll be happy.

Hey I kinda like this guy lol.

God I hope not. We better be getting Bill Hall in this trade too otherwise I'm gonna throw a f***ing fit. And nobody wants to see that. I will rip into Cashman, verbally, worse than C.C. did, anally.

hahaha lmao. Why do we need a new thread for things we already know? They're not "in" the Tex sweepstakes, but they're not out. I seriously doubt they add him, their interest is just to drive the price up and keep him away from Fenway. As for manny, I've stated my feelings on adding him several times. DO IT. If he batted fifth behind A-Rod, with Cano batting third in front of A-Rod this lineup would be lethal. A-Rod would benefit greatly from having Manny's bat protecting him, and Cano would get so many good pitches to hit having A-Rod and Manny right behind him, it would elevate his status as an offensive player tremendously. That along with the adjustments he made should make the world forget about his horrid 2008. And truthfully, adding Tex would mean putting him 3rd and putting Cano towards the bottom of the lineup somewhere. I think we would be better served all around saving the close to $200 Mil Tex wants and spending $40-50 Mil on Manny and letting Cano and A-Rod reap the benefits. We'll see what happens.

Why can't us Yankee fans just stick together in this hostile environment?

I feel the same way.

An unnamed Yankee told the post last night that he talked with Burnett and that AJ told him they would be teammates. If this is true, AJ intends to sign with us (gasp), if not over the weekend I expect it to be done sometime next week. Now bring back Andy, if he doesn't want $10 Mil then sign Sheets. Pass on Lowe, we'll be fine. And for this much money Burnett BETTER stay healthy. I fear that we may be seeing a Pavano-type situation all over again.

He'd knock out 60 home runs and break Oh's single season record (55) off that pitching in those ballparks. truthfully, I would love to see him over there. ..better than facing him here.

Despite what he's said I dont think Pettitte retires if we don't bring him back. I can see him in LA, or even Houston (although I guess his agents have publicly said he has no interest.)

I think you think you're right a lot Na but that probably was the plan, but if he can do as good in Spring Training as he did in the AFL and there's a spot open then why not let him take it?

hahaha

HAHAHAHAHA LMAO Rather than retire I have an idea for manny that would allow him to be beloved and make a lot of money. Sign with a Japanese team They would love him over there, and he would just eat it up

I agree, I'm just saying there's room for both. I would prefer we pass on Burnett and sign Sheets for 2 years, rather than give Burnett top dollar for 5 years with a suspect injury history. I would also like to pass on Lowe and let either Pettitte or Hughes round out the rotation.

Aren't you the same guy who always says that money shouldn't be an issue, we have it might as well spend it, it's not your money, etc. Granted, all of your points are very valid but still, Andy represents something, and sure he had an off year last year, but look at Mussina, he had a bad 2007 and won 20 games last year. I really think Andy could pitch representable next year and then hang 'em up. He's won a lot of big games for us, and he wants to pitch in the new Yankee Stadium and be a part of that so I say we owe it to him. I'd take it a step further and give him the start at the home opener. Granted, even $10 Mil is a lot but that's already a $6 Mil paycut. If he has a problem with the generous $10 Mil we're offering then I say let him go, fine. Also, part of my desire to bring Andy back is the presence of another lefty in the rotation. You need lefty pitchers in that ballpark so the lefty hitters don't pull everything off right handers into that short porch.

The real question is...will they wear Red Sox with those away threads?

Those shits are ugly. Similar to the road jerseys they used in the 70's and 80's, just with a different letter-type similar to the one currently used. But they're too bland if you ask me. Whatever though, it's not my team wearing them. And did I mention I absolutely hate the new cool-base jerseys?

Cashman flew to Texas today to meet with Pettitte. Hopefully something gets worked out. He seems intent on not upping his offer from $10 Mil and if that doesn't satisfy Andy, he plans to move on.
