George is reverting to his 1980's style of ownership. Not a good sign for the Yanks.

The rumored managerial change was news to Lou Pinella. I credit him with more sense than to go work for Steinbrenner...

What's the matter George?
Haven't high-jacked enough star players from the Indians lately?

"Clearly he was upset," he said. Sure he's upset: he's shelled out almost half a billion dollars in salaries the last two years only to be knocked out in the opening round of the playoffs twice, and hasn't won it all since 2000. While that seems like only yesterday to Cubs and Cleveland fans (to name two long-suffering franchises), that's an eternity for the pin-stripers.

You can't buy the world series George. Once you accept the fact that you were beaten by a misfit team that was simply better than your millionaires the happier you'll be.

They need new blood in management. The current regime (GM and manager) are resting on their laurels, and have drained their farm system dry to bring in older veterans. That team is only going to get older, and spend even more chasing after pitching.
Then again, there's the Hilary curse to contend with, too.
Year 2000! Year 2000!

NY media in a snit over Kenny Rogers. Why how dare he take the mound against the Yankees and win!

Bye, Joe. Bye, A-Rod.
The long knives are about to come out in the Bronx, and something tells me it won't be pretty. Sounds like The Boss has officially had it.

The sports media treated the Tigers like the news media treats the republicans. The Tigers led the entire major league for most of the season but you wouldn't have known it because they were fawning over the Yankees. It's like democrats on the day after the election they were supposed to win. If they had paid any attention they would have seen it coming.

Pitching is 85-90% of the game... looking at the Yankee starting pitching/middle relief... they did pretty well.

I hope your analogy holds true come November 8, 2006.

Hey how are you enjoying that Central Division Title? Detroit fans know all too well that regular season titles don't mean squat. See Pistons and Red Wings. Shoot, the wild card may have worked out better for the Tigers seeing they were by far the best road team in baseball.
To: cripplecreek
Unwilling to even mention Leland. Not the first time he's beaten the Yankees.....
Nice to see the NY media having a hissy fit. AGAIN
