Oh by the way, anybody got David Ortiz's address? I found a raddy old baseball in the yard today, I think it belongs to him:

I think I see some New Yorkers back there somewhere....

All you Beantowners go back to sleep and keep yourselves very quiet. The April WS is yours, as always. Now let's see what happens the rest of the year!

Easy To Count NYY's Total Loses,Just Count A-Rod's HR's

Hmmm....

Doesn't a "vote of confidence" usually mean you're gonna be fired within a month?

[Solair Wright]

I got a message for Yankees fans: How's Giambi, Jeter and Co. faring while A-Rod is the top athlete? Not that well, because they're tired of being the 2001-06 version of the Buffalo Bills, and someone's job security is on the line. Here's an obvious hint:

Do you know who it is? I do!

Didnt Bush Have A Similar "Vote Of Confidence" With Rumsfeld???

I say that George is up to his old tricks again. There have been times when George would even tell Joe about the lineup card.

At times, I've wondered why Torre & Cashman even have a job, as it seemed like Big Stein wanted to do those jobs himself. Still, you can't deny the man's passion to win. Hopefully, the Yanks turn it around and start winning (for a change).

*Turns off the lamp for these Beantowners to get some sleep fer once*

And people say Charlie Finley was bad...

[Dirt Dog]

There is good news in the Yankee camp this morning, at least they didn't lose last night.

Finishing April as # last

just counting the AL East, I wouldn't want to mak you blush. I wonder what has happened to those teams at the end of the season? Pondering....I remember! They end up as number last.

[Mattingly]

It is now broad daylight out in NYC. Attention all Beantowners: you *STILL* need to get some sleep.

Don't worry, by next month, you'll be begging us all for mercy. Now be off with all of you, and no chowda for any of you (especially CB)!

Brag all ya want, 5th placer. The Red Sox willl rule the roost this year, and the Yankees will get crow this year!

Hey Yankee fans, how's Tor(r)e's job security going? I'm filling in possible candidates that were former Yankee catchers: Joe Girardi, Mike Stanley, Matt Nokes, and so on. Which one do you want?

If The Boss did the jobs himself, then he'd have nobody to blame for failure. As it is now, he can tell the underlings what to do AND still lay the blame on them when things don't work out.
Happens in my office all the time!

Matt, Matt.....

It's okay if you turn the light off, Red Sox Nation can see by light of the standings. Plus we have our halos....plenty of light.

We are getting enough sleep, we're not worried about our team.

We have a starting lineup, a decent bullpen, and a closer THAT WHEN HE'S NEEDED, is "lights out". He turns out the lights for us.

It's nice of you to offer, though.

Weren't you bragging about the Yankee's Spring Training record? (that is before the Sox passed 'em.)
