Yanx - Sawx II

I keep hearing that it would be Don Mattingly.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If he's going to go for a former Mets manager, he can choose from, among others, Davey, Bobby, and Art.

I'd like to see him go with Jeff Torborg.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mattingly would be better used getting Bobby Abreu to show up.

Some reports have Girardi as the last person Steinbrenner would hire on account of his close friendship with Torre,Bowa getting mentioned because he's a Billy Martin type...

[Willets Point]

I'm rooting for exhuming Billy Martin himself, just for old times sake.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Why would Stubenflotzer care that Girardi considers Torre a freind? It's not personal. It's about accountability, right?

] Boss: Losing "not acceptable" Yankees owner George Steinbrenner backed manager Joe Torre and GM Brian Cashman on Monday, challenging players and staff "to show me and the fans what they are made of" following a start he termed "clearly not acceptable." Steinbrenner previously had refused comment on his team, which went 1-5 against the Boston Red Sox the past two weekends and dropped into last place in the AL East at 9-14. "The season is still very young, but up to now the results are clearly not acceptable to me or to Yankee fans," Steinbrenner said in a statement. "However, Brian Cashman, our general manager, Joe Torre, our manager, and our players all believe that they will turn this around quickly. "I believe in them. I am here to support them in any way to help them accomplish this turnaround. It is time to put excuses and talk away. It is time to see if people are ready to step up and accept their responsibilities. It is time for all of them to show me and the fans what they are made of. "Let's get going. Let's go out and win and bring a world championship back to New York. That's what I want."

I hope they get hammered in Texas.

I hope they get paddled.

I actually agree that it's time to bring a Championship back to New York.
