I think it may be the West Coast that will be ringing ARod's bell. San Francisco needs someone to lure the crowd now that Bonds is gone. I hope you're right SB! The Giants do have a lot of freed up money, and possibly more to come depending on what they do with several of their players. Plus that park is built for right handed hitters. Yes, I am getting my hopes way up. My heart will be going out with the next garbage day when he signs with someone else.

What will the Steinbrenner's do without that 20 something million? I hear there are a couple of top notch bat boys in the free agency market this off season.

I think A-Rod knows exactly where he will be playing next year, and it's just a matter of cutting the best deal with the team while playing off the other suitors.
You're not implying that he's carrying on negotiations when he's not supposed to, are you? GASP!  I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!

ESPN is reporting that Torre is apparently headed back to the NL: with the Dodgers. And Girardi was asked to take his place.

You have to understand the Yankee mindset. They feel that they are the best ballclub and that naturally ARod should be panting to play there. Thats the Steinbrenner mindset. Fuck 'em all. It appears that Georgie Porgie is no longer calling the shots. Reportedly he wanted Torre back but Hanky Panky, the ungrateful son of a bitch (literally), overruled Daddy Steinhitler. Hanky stated that they (the Yankees) were no longer interested in ARod. He's playing hardball. It remains to be seen if the team plays hardball next year.

ARod showed his true colors - GREEN - as in money. What a pig. They're all whores. But the owners are no better. I've become very disgruntled with the "game" of baseball over the last 10-15 years. There's no such thing as loyalty to a team anymore. The almighty dollar has ruined the game and we, as fans, pay for it in more way than one. I may be rooting for players in the coming years that I used to root against because they played for teams I didn't like and vice-a-versa .... players on the Sox may opt to go elsewhere and I'll be rooting against them. I can understand that teams want the best players and some are willing and able to pay more but the Steinbrenners think that their money is the best and entitles them to act like asses.

If Girardi gets the job, I wonder if Mattingly will hook on with another club. Certainly, he won't be able to stay with the Yankees.
Also, has A-Rod officially filed his letters today to opt out of his contract? I'm not convinced he's leaving. The announcement may have been designed to see how much cash the Yankees would throw at him. I think Girardi is a better choice as manager instead of Mattingly, though I wonder if Girardi can last a year because got canned in his previous managerial job because he told the penny-pinching Marlins owner to go fuck himself and got fired...despite winning the NL Manager of the Year prize. That said, I would have instead kept Torre but whatever. Right Hank? I know the NYC media assumed it would be Mattingly, but consider this. Girardi has managerial experience, he made a winning Marlins club out of scrubs. He turned an expected 100-loss ballclub into would-be playoff contenders. Plus, Girardi was offered a very juicy Baltimore Orioles contract, and he turned it down flat. The Yanks job was his, if Torre left/got canned. But yeah, if the reports are true, I hope Joe Torre does well with the Dodgers. Be nice to see him validate his HOF credentials and make the Steinbrenner clan look like idiots*. *=Not that they need help really!

You know, its nuts when people are already yearning for George. Anyway, I'm not shocked that A-Rod is out. Maybe he wants that ridiculous $30 million/season, or maybe he got tired of carrying a mediocre YAnkees club on his shoulders for the first few months, and still be hated by Yanks fans. Without A-Rod, the Yanks would have been eliminated back in June. Or maybe he just wants the fucking money. *Rubs fingers* The world's smallest violin plays for him.

Sources: Yankees more than $100M short of entertaining A-RodBefore Alex Rodriguez opted out of his contract with the Yankees earlier this week, the team was told that it would not be able to meet with the third baseman unless it presented an offer of at least $350 million, sources say. The Yankees had hoped to meet with Rodriguez this week, and would have presented him with an extension offer close to five years and $150 million, to begin at the conclusion of his 2008-2010 contract, through which he would have earned $81 million. Through the Yankees' proposal, then, Rodriguez would have made about $230 million over eight years, and during the last five years of the contract, sources say, he would have earned the highest annual salary in Major League Baseball history. But team executives were told, sources say, that in order to arrange a meeting with Rodriguez, they would have to be prepared to make an extension offer that would take the third baseman's deal up to a total value of $350 million. That means that the offer the Yankees intended to propose would have been more than $100 million short. Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, sent the documentation of Rodriguez's intention to opt out of the contract to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman during Game 4 of the World Series, Cashman has said, and the GM did not speak with Boras until after news of the decision was published on SI.com. The timing of how this played out, and the fact that Rodriguez did not meet with the Yankees to hear their offer before making his decision, has led some baseball officials to surmise that a deal with another team may already be in the works. In an interview with ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick on Thursday, Boras said, "We have had no economic discussions regarding Alex Rodriguez with any major-league team." The Mets, Dodgers, Angels, Giants and Marlins are among the teams which have not publicly ruled out pursuing Rodriguez. Sources say it is highly unlikely that the Dodgers will seriously entertain the possibility. Source: ESPN

Yankees exercise Abreu's '08 optionNEW YORK (AP) -- Bobby Abreu's $16 million option for next season was exercised Friday by the New York Yankees. The 33-year-old right fielder overcame a slow start to hit .283 with 16 homers and 101 RBIs this year, when he finished second in the AL with 123 runs. He has reached 100 RBIs in five consecutive seasons. "Bobby Abreu possesses a unique skill set and has proven to be a durable and reliable asset to this club," general manager Brian Cashman said. "Consistency has been a hallmark throughout his career." New York acquired Abreu from Philadelphia in July 2006. Source: SI

How wrong would it be....  to be thinking things like: "I would love to see A-rod get hurt and not be able to play pro ball" Then he could stick his 350 million dollar deal up his ---. "Or maybe: That his wife should leave him and take all HIS money with her." I know: That he should get some bitch ass disease so no women would go near him and he has to spend all his millions in treatment costs.

A-Rod is a [BadWording] BUM, and Scott Boras is a filthy [BadWording] [BadWord] who never thinks of anything but [BadWording] money. I hope A-Rod doesn't work again -- or ends up making less than what we would've offered him ...and for some shit Florida team! [BadWord] him, that "motherless fuck" (as Junior would say  ) That scumbag doesn't have enough [BadWordin'] money already -- to play the GAME of baseball???? He can go F himself up the [BadWord]. Wait... would that be "wrong" to think?  Fuck it.
