The Yankees face the easiest postseason they have ever gone through.  No way they lose more than 4 games.  This should be a breeze.

It\'s a resilient team. A rough lineup to get through, a tough bullpen to break through against.

Suggestions for the 2006 offseason:

Joe Torre- It\'s time to go. I welcome the Pinella rumors.  Torre\'s a laisse-faire manager.  That\'s perfect for some veteran teams, but it might be time for an ass kicker again.  Retire #6, and put up his monument, but we need to shake things up.

A-Rod- Shop him.  There are plenty of good young Yankees, that if you can get 2-3 quality young ball players in return (like maybe a catcher? Jorge isn\'t getting any younger) you can stay competitive and semi-rebuild at the same time.  

Randy Johnson- Please, PLEASE retire. I have a bad feeling he\'ll continue to disgrace himself for another year, but I can only hope.

Gary Sheffield- Thanks for everything, but Melky needs to play.

And on positive note:

Robinson Cano, Chien Ming Wang, Melky Cabrera and Scott Proctor all really came through this year.  Jeter was great as usual, and Damon was the best free agent signing they\'ve made since Mussina.

Well I was right about one thing: They only lost 3 games!!  rotfl  What a sorry disgusting pathetic franchise.  Every year at this time I make the same post about how they ripoff their fans worse than any franchise in sports, overcharging them and then wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on total stiffs.  Steinbrenner and Cashman are too dumb to scout legit talent, all they know how to do is overpay for names.  And they keep doing it because Yankee fans are too dumb to know any better, they just slobber over the next over-paid steroid-popping stiff to come through the door.  If you\'re a Yankee fan, look in the mirror and repeat after me: "I root for Alex Rodriguez.  I root for Jason Giambi.  I root for Gary Sheffield.  I root for Randy Johnson."  How the hell do you live with yourself rooting for a franchise this blatantly evil and underachieving and wasteful?

Not sorry to see those Red Sox castoff frauds the Padres go down either.  Josh Bard hits fourth on that team?!?!  They probably broke their own record from last year for worst team to ever make the playoffs.  (Remember last year when they had to win the last game of the year to finish over .500 and still won the division?)  The only reason I don\'t like them is because the one Padres fan I know is the biggest d-bag ever born, but hey, that\'s reason enough.  Mets win, Yankees lose, Padres lose.  Gorgeous first round.  M-E-T-S METS METS METS!

I agree with all of your points.  You even have a good chance at getting 3 out of 4.  The one that has no chance of happening is A-Rod.  You\'re so stuck with him it\'s not even funny.  Like any franchise is gonna give up their future for that shmuck.  The Yankees are the ones who will have to send 2-3 good young players to a team just so they\'ll take A-Fraud.  Here\'s how a conversation with Yankees GM Brian Cashman and San Diego GM Kevin Towers might sound:

Cashman: We\'ll give you A-Rod for Cla Meredith and Josh Bard.
Towers: Fuck you.
Cashman: OK, A-Rod for nothing, all you gotta do is take him and pay him.
Towers: Brian, that guy will make my team worse just like he did for all three teams he\'s been on.  Not only is his contract the most expensive ever, it is far, far, far, far, far and away the worst value of any contract in baseball history.
Cashman: OK, we\'ll toss in Wang.  Wang and A-Rod for a box of baseballs.
Towers: Well, we could use a #8 hitter, especially seeing how our lineup is stacked 1-7.  OK, deal!

rather lose in the 1st round then not make it to the 1st round, at least they had a chance to play in the post-season.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

fair enough, but hey I gotta have something.  I\'ve gotten an e-mail from MLB, and I keep seeing comercials aobut "your team not make the post season? it\'s your duty as a baseball fan to watch the post season!  whatever, I stopped paying attention in like August when it was pretty much over for us anyway.

Good game last night. The Cards scored a morale boosting by not getting slaughtered with Weaver on the mound. Let\'s see what the ace can do tonight!

Well, after Friday\'s bullpen meltdown and Trachsel\'s disgraceful performance in Game 3, it\'s safe to say last night\'s win was fairly important. Let\'s Go Mets!

Paul: I\'ll need to get some notes on it, I\'ve never worked on that show before.
(scheduler at espn): It wont be hard, don\'t worry, I\'ll have them shoot you an email tomorrow about what you need to do.
Paul: Allright. What am I actually going to be cutting though? the seasons almost over.
(scheduler at espn): Nothing big, Game one of the world series.
Paul: Gee, Thanks... nothing like jumping in feet first there, hu?
