I think Cashman defenders might say that it's truely only been his team for the last two seasons,he had to contend with the Tampa people before.

Ok,would it be a good thing or a bad thing if Park achieves the IP to get the performance bonuses to kick in? I suppose there are several ways to look at that.

I'm looking at that possible rotation and I am in disbelieve,not to sound like an alarmist but if that is the rotation then I think we are fucked.

Park, Park, wherever you may be, You eat dogs in your home country! It could be worse, you could be a yankee eating jeters and torre's nuts. I'm no good at this.

Manchester United fans sing this song for Ji-Sung Park,to the tune of " Lord of the Dance",we need our own lyrics for Chan Ho Park, Park, wherever you may be, You eat dogs in your home country! It could be worse, you could be a Scouse, Eating rats in your council house!

All fuck acting aside,Omar is paying him big cabbage,what's the plan here,and what impact does this have on the young ones...

Technically he's rubbish though,isn't he?

Jim Hendry is rated as the 16th best GM,based on what?,his moves this off-season it looks like,I'd rate Dave Dombrowksi higher based as much on his work as the Marlins GM as his great work with the Tigers.

Rodriguez can't do a damn thing right.... ]A-Rod's just a fool for the city February 7, 2007 Alex Rodriguez's not-so-excellent adventure in the big city yesterday began hours before a chaotic visit to a Barnes & Noble in early afternoon. First, his scheduled appearance on NBC's "Today" show was canceled because of a disagreement over whether there would be limits on questions Matt Lauer could ask, a violation of NBC News policy. It was not clear what questions were to be off limits, and a representative of Rodriguez did not return phone messages last night to explain. But earlier in the day, a member of Rodriguez's camp said simply that things "didn't work out." With "Today" off the itinerary, Rodriguez went on to less news-oriented shows as he plugged his new children's book. At both "Live With Regis and Kelly" and "Martha," he guaranteed great things for the Bronx Bombers in 2007. "Bring back the championship," Regis Philbin said. "We will," Rodriguez answered. About an hour later, he was chatting on another chummy morning-show set with Martha Stewart. "Please bring us back a pennant!" she said. "We will; we will," he answered. Well, there you have it. Later, there would be that contentious bookstore visit that featured reporters clashing with cops and PR officials, then scheduled appearances on CNN and at another book signing in New Jersey. A-Rod, though, never was more in his element than among friendly morning hosts not inclined to bring up overthrowing first basemen. Well, come to think of it, Stewart did inadvertently broach that subject. After Rodriguez admitted he prefers shortstop to third base, which he called a greater challenge, Stewart said, "You can really screw up third base a lot." Said A-Rod: "You can also make a lot of nice plays." Stewart ignored him and plowed on: "You miss that one, boy, and you're in big trouble." Awkward. But hilarious. Mostly, A-Rod was A-Rod, smooth, cheerful and dapper in a sports jacket, jeans and un-tucked shirt. He did tell Stewart what he called a "funny story" about vomiting at 1:30 a.m. Monday after eating too much at his Super Bowl party. But other than that, the real show was the star-struck hosts. First, Philbin and Kelly Ripa beamed as Rodriguez spoke of his love for New York and said he'd like to finish his career here. "That's great," Philbin said. "We'd love to have you here, Alex." Things were daffier on "Martha," another syndicated show aimed largely at female viewers. Stewart called Rodriguez a "hero of the city" and "a lovely guy." He said to her, "You look beautiful," then to the audience added, "Isn't she pretty?" causing her to giggle like a middle-schooler. Later, Stewart cited Rodriguez's $252-million contract and gushed, "None of us -- none of us! -- thought that was too much. We all love the idea. None of us said, 'Oh, he's not worth it.' We all thought you were worth it." She did not appear to be kidding. Later, an audience member asked which three Yankees, past or present, she'd most like to cook for. She named A-Rod and Mickey Mantle second and third, respectively. The first name out of her mouth: Derek Jeter. A-Rod smiled. http://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/ny-spbest075083904feb07,0,6324927.column?coll=ny-sports-columnists

C'mon,with Rodriguez hitting eight the yankees are the best in baseball....

In the words of Dickshot,I'd much rather Bush fuck up the world than fuck up baseball....

I think when the President invites you to dinner you say yes,of course I'm sure Omar didn't think of Delgado when asked.

] Noted David, "I was genuinely touched by how warm and inviting President Bush and his wife were. Knowing how busy the president is, for him to spend that much time with us was really something special." Oh he's busy alright David...I'd never thought of that Yancy(missed it when you mentioned that before),but that's a good comparison,must be kinda cool to be Wright.

Is that the legacy Lima has left to baseball,her nockers?

My apologies metsmarathon ,that's pretty fucking smart.
