Round II Monday - Yesterday

Monday the PA will submit their counteroffer to MLB - don't expect much to come from it

Re: Steve Cohen appears to be rebuilding the Muts with former Yankees GM Gene Michael in mind - 2 days ago

here's hoping it won't be the last of my lifetime-I've only "witnessed" 13, would like to see a few more

Re: Steve Cohen appears to be rebuilding the Muts with former Yankees GM Gene Michael in mind - 2 days ago

he was dealing with the luxury in the 90's but kept paying it - personally I never thought the luxury tax was right because then other owners used it to line their pockets and not put the money into the teams

Re: Steve Cohen appears to be rebuilding the Muts with former Yankees GM Gene Michael in mind - 3 days ago

plus The Boss was willing to pay for what he wanted out of pocket if necessary - so many changes since the days of year-to-year contracts,

Re: Steve Cohen appears to be rebuilding the Muts with former Yankees GM Gene Michael in mind - 3 days ago

too bad the Yankees didn't continue in the Stick mold - led to 3/4. Stick was special even in his playing days

Re: Baseball Withdrawal - 3 days ago

In a normal year - we would be discussing maybe even arguing over who the Yankees should be signing, who should still be traded and counting down to P&Cs. Watching one of the best WS games in modern memory -yet '96 was almost 26 years ago It's the Pettitte Masterpiece of game 5. ALmost want to cry realizing the CBA isn't even close to the radar - neither side seems concerned because they are

Re: Greg Maddux says he initially intended to sign with the Yankees instead of the Braves in 1992 - 3 days ago

I want to hear the Yankees side of the story, maybe Cash will clarify this - Greg said he was informed the Yankees couldn't offer him a deal because someone in the heirarchy had a heart attack. Michael Kay reported he searched back besides being a beat reporter for the Yankees at the time - and found no one having suffered one. When leaving NY, Greg talked to his agent and was told Atlanta was re

We Want Baseball - 4 days ago

I just spent 1/2 hour talking to a friend at DD - a little football, some Nets & 25 minutes about not having baseball news & sharing insight into past memories & what the Yankees need

Re: The best Yankees to never win a championship - 7 days ago

Mel came just after the run of the late 40's to '62 but was so much fun to watch on the mound and Donnie's career ended one year early due to the back. Both embraced the Yankee way - takes more than putting on the pinstripes to be a Yankee and many who put it on were not "Yankees" in my eyes/

Re: 'He's an anomaly': Dominguez turning heads - 8 days ago

and 2 Nets games

Re: Good Luck Melky - 8 days ago

so if I say I remember Tony Kubek and Tommy Tresh's rookie seasons - that must be like ancient history but so much a part of my childhood. So Gator, Jete & Mariano are like yesterday/ feel so thankful to have the memories. I used tell my kids if I ever stop talking about the Yankees that's when you worry about Alzheimer's and it still holds.

Re: Good Luck Melky - 8 days ago

didn't want to say that - makes me feel old to think of the players whose careers I've seen from rookie to retirement and then the stars of my day are mostly playing on the diamond in the sky.

Re: 'He's an anomaly': Dominguez turning heads - 8 days ago

yep the freeze has started -expecting snow after 7 pm Sunday through Monday - but we're nestled between the Adirondacks, the Green Mts. & often they act as buffers to diminish the snowfall here. It is what it is and I'll deal with whatever comes to the point of hunkering in for a day or two if necessary.

Good Luck Melky - 8 days ago

today's MLB news: Melky Cabrera announces his retirement = - another of those 'caught' using ped's or whatever. That will be my rant if or more likely when Shrek is voted into the HOF.

Re: 'He's an anomaly': Dominguez turning heads - 8 days ago

that's for sure - we're grasping at anything we can baseball connected or not just to stay in touch - in case you haven't heard tomorrow (Saturday) is supposed to 0 with a high w/c and a snow storm follows Sunday into Monday - stay warm, stay safe and stay in touch

Re: 'He's an anomaly': Dominguez turning heads - 8 days ago

as excited a I want to be to see Jasson - how many in recent years have flopped within a year or two of making the majors

Re: Changes to Camden Yard - 9 days ago

well of late the attendance wasn'y selling out whule visiting players were going deep to left

Changes to Camden Yard - 9 days ago

The O's are going to be raising their left field wall 5' and moving it back 30' while developing their lefty heavy pitching staff- Gleyber better go back to the basics when playing in Baltimore instead of going for the long ball

Surprise, Surprise - 9 days ago

whatever the proposal was the Players' Union rejected it = expect leaks to being coming and also expect a delay to ST and don't forget to factor in COVID mandates

Re: MLB, MLBPA set for Thursday bargaining session - 9 days ago

Re: MLB, MLBPA set for Thursday bargaining session - 10 days ago

I agree but hold on to that slim glimmer that sound judgment might prevail

Re: MLB, MLBPA set for Thursday bargaining session - 10 days ago

well it's a start with a month until P&Cs should report for ST - let's see if anything gets done

Heart break - 12 days ago

There was a time the Jets were good and had a hot end named Don Maynard - often on the receiving end of a Namath pass. Sadly he is added to the list of celebrities passing away already in 2022. Condolences to his family, Jet family & fans. RIP #13 and thanks for the memories

No Loyalty Where $$ & Promotion is Concerned - 16 days ago

The Yankees hired Eric Chavez as an assitant batting coach just after Buck Showalter was signed as the Muts new manager. ST hasn't begun - players can have no contact with coaches so Chavez has done little if anything in the position and now he won't. Seems the Post reports that Chavez has been signed as the Muts batting coach - an upgrade so apparently it's considered ethical. Sorry I see it as

Re: Yankees’ Ken Singleton blasts Rob Manfred after Ken Rosenthal decision - 17 days ago

Michael Kay pretty much agreed with Kenny on his TMKS yesterday in covering the story.= Manfred & MLB are going to get a lot of flak on this one at least until something takes the headlines maybe like they get some serious negotiations going on a CBA

Re: MLB Network Cuts Ties With Ken Rosenthal Over Rob Manfred Criticism - 18 days ago

yep and the worst part - Ken's statements were not made on MLB Network = constructive criticism can make you a better person

Re: MLB Network Cuts Ties With Ken Rosenthal Over Rob Manfred Criticism - 18 days ago

and we know that MLB & Manfired will never admit that was the reason they DID NOT RENEW his contract - just like when the Yankees let Joe Girardi's contract lapse after he reprimanded Sanchez. Wouldn't it be nice if they would just man up to to their reasons.

Re: January 3, 1973 - 19 days ago

now who could that guy have been????

Happy New Year Guys - 22 days ago

another 14 hours and we say farewell to 2021 and hello to2022. Time to think about spring training and a new season with the Yankees EXCEPT so far there is no indication that an MLB CBA is close. The off season on YES has been in the Yankee Classics they can show - no current MLB players can be playing and there has been no Hot Stove. As for Yankee Magazine, we get to see minor leaguers and coach

Non-basebal but - 24 days ago

there isn't much of MLB front so - RIP John Madden. He was a staple in NFL as a coach, as a broadcaater and of course for NFL Madden each year.
