i would put a whole in my skull if i was ever a part of redsocks nation.

you can keep your seats open on the Red Socks bandwagon - i'm happy being a White Sox fan where we dont obsess with other teams.

A whole what? Sounds like there's a whole lot of nothing in there anyways. :bonk:

Sounds good. We'll keep your seat open should you happen to want to root for a real team.

I just love it when people hijack good debate with garbage...

No doubt. We've had a recent influx of tibor-wannabes polluting this board.

[quote='BusNative;82655;2]Torre managed those teams with arguably one big time offensive free agent signee (O'Neill) and some guys who spent at least a little time in Columbus (O'Neill spent time in Columbus - but with the Bearcats, not the Clips).[/quote]

Not quite..O'Neill was traded from the Reds to the Yankees (for Roberto Kelly) after the 92 season.

a thread about the yankme's started by a redsox fan... what a shock

Excellent point. Why do Red Sox fans care about the Yankees? It would be like someone talking about Michigan on an Ohio State site or, god forbid, there being a thread about Michigan. That would just be silly. :biggrin:

:wink:

(and yes, it is an obsession, but then the entire identity of Red Sox Nation revolves around psychological problems. . .)

Thanks - 92 is where my memory starts to get a little fuzzy. I DO remember my Roberto Kelly Clippers Cracker Jack card and some Yankees cards. I didn't realize O'Neill moved that early though.

why, cuz he had a good game? does that mean if he has a bad one then he's back to being the most over-payed pitcher in the MLB?

He's had a couple of great games in a row. It's still early in the season, but I was just curious if he would still be considered the most overpaid. :lol:

Boss: Torre's safe, but GM's on big hook

PAT MILTON

Associated Press

NEW YORK - With his New York Yankees struggling, George Steinbrenner says Joe Torre is safe for now, general manager Brian Cashman "is on a big hook" and Jason Giambi "should have kept his mouth shut."
In a rare interview Thursday night from his office in Tampa, Fla., the Boss praised Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Derek Jeter and said he was encouraged by the Yankees' performance this week in taking two out of three games from AL East-leading Boston.
Cashman, given increased duties when he re-signed after the 2005 season, is apparently being held largely responsible for the team's play.
"He's on a big hook," a spirited Steinbrenner said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "He wanted sole authority. He got it. Now he's got to deliver."
New York entered Friday 21-24 and trailed the Red Sox by 9 1/2 games.
