are you kidding me , already 6 / 1 tigers
the fat lady can start to sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fat lady started singing about three days ago. She can finish now.

I'd like to root for the Giants now, but I'm afraid I'll jinx them, too.

It's not your fault, Geoffy. They just weren't built to go distance. Not at their collective age.

Congratulations, Lilo. I'm happy for ya.

Me, too. And you gotta be happy for Cabrera after that year he had. I hope he gets his ring.

Thanks SC!! We've waited for this.

I said I was happy for you too, you ingrate .

I went to two of the yankee and detroit playoff games at the stadium, and IMHO they deserved to be swept. The vast majority of the team didnt play like they wanted to win. It was painful to watch such a storied franchise play so horrible.

I am very happy that the Tigers won, I am a big fan of Cabrera, Verlander, and Fielder. I predict a Tigers vs Cardinals world series which would be a good one.

Now the real A-Rod off-season drama begins...

Thanks to Throggs Neck as well!!!!

Your very welcome .

Where's Grammar Police Geoff?? You forgot the apostrophe and "e". What kind of Catholic school education did YOU get??

Lilo, Congratulations! Your boys deserve it! They played well and completely dominated.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the Yankees in the off-season. I think that we will not see the return of Swisher, ARod and perhaps Granderson. They may trade Ibanez as well. And who knows if Jeter will be able to return? Same for Mo.

It will be interesting to see how the Yanks rebound next season. With the Yanks and RedSox in possible rebuild mode, i wonder how my Jays will fare....

If I had to stop and point out every single mistake I see every day, I'd have absolutely no time left to make my own mistakes (accidentally, of course)!



I really like Swish and Grandy, though. A-Rod I never really liked that much. Ibanez shouldn't go anywhere. I'm just kinda worried about Girardi -- he might already have been gone if George was still alive.

But... The Yanks had the best record in baseball this year (and many other years). The postseason collapse wasn't Girardi's fault, really, cuz he wasn't at the plate. Who do you blame? I don't think it was anyone's fault -- it was ALL their fault!

DET vs STL doesn't interest me in the least, and I don't know if SFO can pull out 4 W's in a row, but I hope they can. I don't like STL.

He won a ring with the Marlins back in 2003. Verlander and Fielder don't have them however

I know, Irish. I just hope he gets another to top off the incredible year that he had. It would be the cherry on the cake.

Boy, now that was embarrassing. Thankfully I don't make those mistakes/typos often .

This is tough, even by New York standards. Today's front page of the "New York Post":






I wonder if the chick in the stands sent that back to ARod.

I'm a little late joining this farewell wish to those Single A players that were added to the Yankee roster for the series; C-Rod, Squisher, Can-Blow, Chewvez, Texasass, Grandlesson.

It should be an interesting off-season. Best record, most homeruns, don't mean squat if you can't finish the job. The Steingrabbers and Cashboy have a lot of figgerin' to do. Do we want aged superstars or scrappy winners?

Congrats to the Tigers. Their pitching was superb. Lilo, I hope they go all the way. I like Leyland. He's not a robot like GeeRahrDee.

Thanks MC. We'll see. The funny thing is up to just about 2 weeks ago there were quite a few Tigers fans who wanted Leland and Dombrowski fired....

Poor guys just couldn't handle being booed.

"Report: Booing bothered Yankees"

Nick Swisher on being boo'd, how tough it was:
"Especially home, where your heart is, where you've been battling and grinding all year long. It's just frustrating, man. You never want to be in that spot. It's not like you're trying to go out there and do bad on purpose. It's just tough, man."

Battling and grinding? You're playing an F'n game for millions of dollars; grow up.

Just a jab from Spellman to the Mount.

I know, MC, let's have a pity party for those poor millionaires who get to do nothing for the next five months. Poor babies.

David Letterman just said that you can tell it's autumn in NY when the Yankees are cleaning out their lockers.

He also made the following comment:
The Yankees #1 problem was that Derek Jeter broke his ankle and couldn't play.
The Yankees #2 problem was that Alex Rodriguez DIDN'T break his ankle and continued to play.

Went to a luncheon yesterday. Former Yankees backup catcher and current YES announcer John Flaherty was the keynote speaker. He was very, very good, down-to-earth, pretty funny, too. I got some pics and an autograph for my husband.

Anyone see this photo of Derek Jeter on the back of the NY Post? They're calling him Derek Eater! His ankle may be broken but he can still make his way around the buffet table!

Reminds me of when a few buddies and myself bumped into Nick Johnson when he re-signed with the Yankees a few years back at a nightclub on the Upper East Side. He was with two friends and was trying to be all incognito. Nobody recognized him until we went over and wished him good luck in the upcoming season. Needless to say, he wound up getting injured (like usual) and was out of Yankees by the next year.

Now there is more of him to love, SB!

I heard about this on ESPN. Much ado about nothing! He'll be fine when the season roles around. It's December, who cares?
