ALCS Game 5
Author: TriSec    Date: 10/18/2007 21:42:56

Good Afternoon!

How's a little baseball grab you this evening?

We'll start in the Big Apple...Looks like Joe Torre is all done.

NEW YORK -- Joe Torre is out as manager of the New York Yankees, rejecting a substantial pay cut after the team failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs for the third straight year.

Torre turned down a $5 million, one-year contract Thursday that still would have made him the highest paid manager in baseball.

Bench coach Don Mattingly is the leading contender to replace Torre, who led the Yanks to 12 straight playoff appearances and won four World Series championships. Yankees broadcaster Joe Girardi, the NL Manager of the Year with Florida in 2006, is another top contender.

"It's a difficult day," general manager Brian Cashman said.

But it was one Yankees' fans could see coming.

After losing the first two playoff games to Cleveland, owner George Steinbrenner said he didn't think Torre would be back if the Yankees didn't advance. They lost in four games.

Torre, who took over the team to start the 1996 season, made his decision after traveling fom New York to the team's spring training complex in Tampa, Fla. He was accompanied by Cashman and chief operating officer Lonn Trost.

"It is now time for the New York Yankees to move forward," team president Randy Levine said.


Heading west, we've got a critical game situation at the Jake. But if any team can come back from being down 3 games...it's the Boston Red Sox.

TIME: 08:00 P.M. EST
VENUE: Jacobs Field

Probable Pitchers:

Boston - Josh Beckett

20-7, 3.27

Cleveland - C.C. Sabathia
http://images.sportsline.com/images/baseball/mlb/players/60x80/174974.jpg

19-7, 3.21

Boston is the underdog tonight (heh, the Sox always are).

Check out the complete
Head-to Head comparison. Boston seems ahead in most categories...on paper.

But that's why they play the game.



PLAY BALL!!!

First in second!!! Sad day for NY, not unexpected, but sad nonetheless... So we are an hour away from the game... I think we will be multitasking between the Rangers.. (cough) the olberman and the red Sox...

Mmmghhh. Fuck fuck fuck, fuckity fuck! Fuck me fuck fuck fuck.



Oh hi, I'm not at work I don't need to swear any more for team building and bonding. On a lighter note on that topic, I MondoBubba was visionary as far as swearing in the work place. It was I who said to one of my coworkers one, "Hey suck a fart of my asshole will ya?" I gained legendary status that day. But we CompuMarkers we almost as profane as the Baltimore murder police.

And Mondo, and Starling... you know there is nothing wrong with people blogging in more than one place... I know a few friends that are over at C&L and a few other places... IT's silly. I don't go over to AAP becuase the management really does not want me there. That is not meant to be a snipe, that is a truth. And that is sad, becuase I miss a lot of people. who I consider friends But everyone is welcome here and THERE. That is why we have a link to AAP right here on our site!
