I would not have guessed Lowell for MVP but then again I would not have guessed he had these post-season numbers, quite guy Lowell. ] Lowell hit .333 in the division series, .333 in the American League Championship Series and .400 in the World Series, with a combined 15 runs batted in. Taken from the Times.

Hank is used to dealing with horses so maybe he thinks what worked there will work in the Bronx, this could be a laugh for a while. More..... ] "I'll tell you this: the commitment from my family is '78 through '96," Steinbrenner said of the team's direction. "We will never go 18 years without a championship again. That's our commitment."

In my happy haste I forgot to add this quote. ] "We're not going to back down," Steinbrenner said. "It's goodbye."

] He said the injuries to El Duque and Beltran down the stretch did them in, and that without the injuries they were the best team in baseball. I don't believe that to be true, at full strength I would take the Boston starting rotation and bull pen over the Mets.

It does remain to be seen but here is Hank. ] "It's clear he didn't want to be a Yankee," Hank Steinbrenner told the Daily News last night. "He doesn't understand the privilege of being a Yankee on a team where the owners are willing to pay $200 million to put a winning product on the field. "I don't want anybody on my team that doesn't want to be a Yankee."

Congrats to the Sox.. Oh would Chris fucking Myers stop asking Varitek stupid questions like whick team is better, 04 or this one.....

Not mentioned there was that Rodriguez also said that all those guys might not be there but the piece of shit Jeter would be.

But I'd be surprised if they really walk away. See ya, Rod. Job at Shea if you need one but it's BYO tent. From the NY Times. Steinbrenner, a son of George Steinbrenner, the Yankees� principal owner, offered no hints as to who the choice would be. But a person who has spoken with the Yankees� decision-makers said he felt strongly that Joe Girardi would get the job. The person spoke on condition of anonymity.

That was it wasn't it?

Mike Lowell will probably be happy to hear about this, Boston apparently won't over two years for him so the yankees will probably give him three or four.

Not unexpected but still a WOW, yeah it's a surprise that they didn't even hang around to listen to what was to be offered.

Apparently he has learned to hit since these numbers were compiled, I have my doubts though. http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=273

Well that solves that then. Actually he looks like he'll have a shot.

I'm on to you.

Wade Miller. At one time in the early part of the new millennium Miller was one of the better young pitchers in the NL, 2001 and 02 saw him achieve his best seasons compiling a 16 - 8 record with 212 innings pitched and a 3.40 ERA with 183 SO. Miller pitched 164 innings and won 15 games with only 4 losses the next season with 144 SO and 3.28 ERA. 2003 he won 14 but lost 13 and many believe that was the season his arm trouble started, apparently he pitched through pain and didn't tell the team, 04 saw him on the DL by June , Miller was a gamer though and had a 7 - 7 record in 15 starts by then. Rotator cuff surgery finished him for that season and as a FA was signed by the Red Sox for the 05 season. Started that season on the DL and pitched 91 innings with a 4 - 4 record. The next few seasons saw him with the Cubs where he never did pitch much and was cut in August 07. In eight seasons Miller has a 62-45 record with 743 strikeouts and a 4.00 ERA in 880.2 innings. I really don't know that Miller has any upside other than he would cost a team nothing much in terms of a contract, probably worth an invite to spring training, would he be any use in the bull pen. Miller was drafted in the 20th round in the 1996 Draft. The Mets draft that year was nothing good, name there first pick? Mets Picks Old friend Astro Annie has a page on Miller. http://www.brokersys.com/~j-mag/

Found this in the Philadelphia Inquirer , from the 24th. ] Sources say the Phillies reached out to Tadahito Iguchi about re-signing to play third base. Iguchi told the team he preferred to sign elsewhere as a second baseman. . . .

No real reason why but I would have guessed that Minnesota's fair ground was bigger.

I remember that AB Sharpie, it was excruciating to watch, for a guy that looks like he might bite your head off Youkilis gets hit a lot.

Rodriguez can sign an extension with the MFY and that would not affect the current deal where Hicks is kicking in $9M a season, if he opts out then Hicks is off the hook.

There's not a whole lot out there, I would like to add Josh Fogg to the above list, he's pitching game three back in Denver. Matt Clement is a FA, whatever happened to him? Curt Schilling ?

I totally agree with you on this, I was in bed by the eight inning of a very close game with some great pitching, it blows.

Forget the head shot and look at that jacket, very cool.
