Extend Mariano's Contract Now
The Tank was shocked to read and hear that the Yankees have yet to extend the contract of the best reliever of all time, Mariano Rivera. Mariano has one more year on his contract but asked for an extension. Why did the quiet and always well behaved Mariano ask for extension? Who else are the Yankees going to sign? Promote Kyle Farnsworth? Sign Brandon Looper? Please God no.
Was it the way the Yankees treated Bernie Williams? The Tank is very hurt and insulted by how the Yankees treated Bernie who came through in last year in the clutch. If Bernie had an off year in 2006, I could understand. Do the Yankees need two first basemen in addition to Giambi? Having one caddie is bad enough, but two?
Speaking of Mariano, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN 1050 AM's has a new noontime co-host, Mike Masanielli. Masanielli had the temerity to question Mariano's greatness earlier today. Even with elbow issues (because of the most innings he pitched), who is a better closer than Mo? Why did ESPN 1050 hire this clown? The Tank believes in free speech but is Mike on drugs or blind? Even Stephen A. gave Mike a chance to recant and apologize but he didn't.
Stephen A. should bring back Gordan Damer who transformed from a middle aged New Jersey golfer into the next big hip hop star in a matter of weeks. If Jay Z signed Gordan to his label, then Stephen A. should get Brendan Tierney back. However, BT is doing a great job doing Knicks pre and post game, Saint John's basketball, and his own 7 to 10 p.m. shift.
There is only one logical candidate left, SteveAndTheTank.com. As Steve wants to overthrow Steve Phillips, the Tank wants Masanielli to resign or be fired.
