The Baker thing...I was too close and lost faith very quickly. He said lots of things to the media where if you don't read his quotes everyday I can understand how people could like him, but reading the things he said everyday I lost all respect for him. A terrible job of managing in the playoffs in 03 didn't help things either.
Pierre signed with the Dodgers. I'm not the biggest fan of Soriano batting leadoff, but I guess that's where he wants to be. There is also taalk of maybe Wood coming out in the closers role since he'll be coming out of the bullpen this year. At any rate it should definetly be a much more exciting season, especially now that Ivan Dejesus is special assistant to Lou Pinnella
Ivan Dejesus? I have, like, 300 of his baseball cards! In almost every pack I'd buy, there was Ivan Dejesus. He was on his way to becoming my favorite player until I realized he wasn't that great at baseball.
Busty Dusty couldn't help all the injuries that tore the team apart, but he's not that great a manager, either. Lou Pinstripes Pinella will light a fire under their asses, at least.
Don't know why they didn't hire Girardi. You Chicago guys know anything about that? Apparently, he rubs people the wrong way.
I know the team blew up the "Bartman" ball, but they should have Bartman ride around the field on a goat at the home opener!
For whatever reason they didn't want Giarardi. They decided to build a team around whatever veterans they can pick up and hope Pinella can whip them into shape. I'm all for it. Girardi will be workin for the YES network and hping to get the yankees job eventually I guess.
