    Just watched video of a Yankees/Jays rumble at Yankee Stadium back in '98. O'Neil, Brosius, Strawberry and Company vs Clemens and the Jays. Torre came out fighting for his team Pretty spunk group that '98 team. Saw clips of the reunion, to include Baldy Locks twit Cashman running around like he was the master planer of that group. Saw Jeters video, misses Brosius. Joe Giradi allegedly received an invitation but did not attend. Speculation that Girardi was peeved about being let go. No Shit can't blame him the man got a dirty deal. It was good to hear O'Neil and Cone pass on praises for Girardis contributions to that team. Then Cone smooches Cashmans can from the boot talking about what a great GM he (Cashman is). Torre & Pettite in the Broadcast Booth were nice additions.. Continued success to Happ, hope the Yankees can get a good clean win without someone pissing in the fountain today.

    I'd rather see Bird hit .300 with NO HR's than .210 with 30 HR's, tho I doubt he'll ever hit more than 20 ...

    What is BaBoone’s fascination with his lineup selections? The guy has no method for his choices.

    My personal opinion is that Boone is conceding the division and trying to rest players already so they are fresh for the final push into the playoffs and the playoffs. Would be helpful to not always need to burn through 3-4 bullpen guys a day too.

    ^^^^....
    Imo baBoones amateur mentality is what Trashman wanted in letting Joe go.
    His lineups make no sense half of the time. He has no clue how to use a bullpen &/or know when to pull a pitcher.

    He didn't utilize "small ball" until recently (wonder who called him out on that one).

    He has no Leadership skills & the team knows it.

    Exactly what Trashman wanted; a puppet Mgr who knows as little as himself.
    Boone cannot safely navigate a self driving car...

    I see a couple of our competitors playing games of interest. Mariners and Dodgers both slightly dropping in their divisions Kershaw is on the hill. Oakland rising faces Houston falling, Verlander on the hill. . Yep the day will be more interesting by it's end.

    Happ had a hiccup just as I was ready to post a compliment. As it stands though he's done pretty well. Rothchild got to figure out how to get his starters going longer in games.
