What about the Red Sox? The Rockies? The Mets?
The back page has been dominated by the Yankees in the last 10 days. The headline the other day: "Steinbrenner picks his nose, by the way, the Red Sox force Game 7." Do the Yankees do this on purpose? I actually think that to some degree they do, but for the most part it is just that their season is over and it is time to make some moves. (Mets fans usually hate when the Yankees do this but they are happy to have the attention focus on the Yankees problems since misery loves company.) To contribute to the media feeding frenzy, S&TT will contribute some more fodder: Joe Girardi has been interviewed, spending 6 hours yesterday in Tampa. Don Mattingly is to be interviewed today, and Tony Pena (because you always need to interview at least 3) is up tomorrow. Expect fast movement on this issue, before the end of the World Series so they can negotiate with their 3 big free agents: ARod, Posada, and Riveria. Make no mistake, the Yankees will be a different team next year, a new manager, a new pitching coach, and there is a good chance that they will lose 1 of the three players to free agency. (My money is that ARod will jump ship.) The first days after World Series + 10 will be fun to watch, maybe even more exciting than parts of the actual season. Posted by Steve in New York.
