2007-11-06 12:50 Blue Plate Special
It was another one of those Uni Watch red-alert moments last night, as about a dozen readers e-mailed me all at once and another half-dozen or so posted all at once in the comments section. The cause Jason Strudwick of the Rangers got in a fight and his nameplate came loose during the fisticuffs, revealing some nasty-looking adhesive residue on the underside. All of which is very entertaining. But here's my question: Since when have the Rangers been using nameplates I always thought they used di …

2007-10-19 12:16 Columnist says Yanks disrespected Torre
SI's Tom Verducci on Joe Torre and the Yankees :[H]ere is how Levine & Co. treated the Hall of Fame bound manager: they offered to cut his pay by 23 percent -- so insulting that the players' association has rules against such a huge cut for its members -- to bring him back only for one year (which keeps their sniping of a lame-duck manager in play) and to throw in "performance bonuses" (which are unprecedented even for the least accomplished managers) based on a postseason model any baseball obs …

2007-10-18 16:49 Joe says no
In the always punchy words of the New York Post, "Joe Torre fired The Boss." The New York Yankees offered their manager of 12 years a one-year contract today, and Torre rejected it -- a shocking twist in the "Will Torre be fired" speculation that has dominated baseball (well, aside from that whole playoffs thing) since the Indians eliminated the Yankees last week. So now Joe is officially gone, and the Yankees are looking for a new manager... who will know that he was George Steinbrenner's secon …

Of course, the owner can do what he wants. It s his money on the line. What he should not do …

And so, once again the New York Yankees broke the hearts of fans by not kicking ass in the playoffs, but the person I feel sorriest for is Joe Torre, a man whose job was on the line contingent on a win during these crucial games and who may soon be unemployed once the fallout settles. I've always had a fascination with the managers of the Yankees ever since Billy Martin, a guy I found one hundred times more interesting than his players and the pressures they must weather, so my heart sincerely g …

2007-10-09 15:21 A Joe Torre moment
Last night between watching the Yankees lose to the Indians and the Cowboys beat the Bills, I was perusing blogs I had missed in the last couple of weeks of travel. I saw courtesy of Ross Mayfield this Chris Anderson (of Wired magazine and Long Tail fame) talk at the Microsoft Global CIO Summit. Chris takes CIOs to task for not aggressively adopting consumer technologies. And it struck me the average CIO is like Joe Torre. Or Wade Phillips of the Cowboys. Under constant scrutiny. And frequent f …

I was walking my dog tonight, and I suddenly realized that I could hear a strange sound. Singing. Me. Aloud. Right there on the street. Although I do not wish for anyone to be unhappy because of the performance, or lack thereof, of a sports team, could it be that I was singing–because the Yankees lost Well, yes. In fact, all things being equal, I must confess that the night air also rang with my merry peals of laughter. What, you may ask, was I singing My Favorite Things . Kind o …

So, the Yanks lost tonight - the third straight year they didn't go on to the World Series after making it into the playoffs, and everyone's disappointed, and George said the other day that if the Yankees didn't progress then Joe Torre might be finished as Yankee skipper... But let me say the obvious: Third straight year that the Yankees didn't make it to the series after getting into the playoffs For any other manager, that would be cause for the owner offering a hefty long term contract.

2007-10-09 04:00 Indians Win, Yankees Done, Torre Gone
Interesting, if obvious, development. Indians v Red Sox is bound to be a good matchup, with a slight edge to the Sox due to their experience...but if these divisional series showed anything, it's that youngsters should not be undervalued or denied. The Rockies, Diamondbacks, and Indians all rode to the Championship Series based on thrusting young players into vital roles and watching them thrive...and the Red Sox aren't devoid of young players either. This is shaping up to be a darn good playo …

While the Rockies, Diamondbacks and Red Sox took care of their opponents in 3 straight games, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians play on. The Yankees won 8-4 over the Indians last night, staving off elimination from the playoffs and perhaps Joe Torre's elimination. Johnny Damon got to starter Jake Westbrook in the 5th, going yard with two men on base to take the lead. But hey, embrace change. Why SHOULD Joe Torre continue to be the Yankees manager What if the Yanks fall tonight Ha …

2007-09-04 02:23 Clemens to have MRI exam on right elbow
Roger Clemens got banged up by the Seattle Mariners, and then quickly left the clubhouse after the Yankees' 7-1 loss on Monday to get an MRI exam on his balky right elbow. The 45-year-old Clemens, who allowed five runs and eight hits in four innings to lose for the first time since July 28 at Baltimore, felt his elbow tighten up during the game, manager Joe Torre said. "First three innings it was a manageable situation for him and then it started to tighten up," Torre said.

Roger Clemens is expected to miss at least one turn in the starting rotation for the New York Yankees due to a right elbow injury. Clemens was touched for five runs on eight hits in just four innings on Monday in a 7-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Yankees manager Joe Torre said after the game that Clemens will have an MRI on his right elbow after feeling discomfort in the fourth inning.

Roger Clemens is starting with Mike Mussina ready in the bullpen.

Sure, these guys won't be consistent, but they will get outs. Edwar Ramirez had one great inning yesterday, and he could have done that in the 7th with Joba in the 8th. No one has a sure-fire bullpen anymore, but other managers trust their relievers enough to go t …

2007-09-03 06:45 And on the 119th pitch, Joe Torre awoke from his deep slumber
At the end of the 6th inning during Sunday's painfully long loss to the Devil Rays, Andy Pettitte had topped the 100-pitch mark. His 103rd pitch of the day resulted in an inning-ended force-out off the bat of Josh Wilson. At that point, the score stood at 2-1, and there was no way Joe Torre would let Andy Pettitte come back for the 7th. Right Well, not quite. Joe Torre sent Andy Pettitte to the mound, inexplicably, in the 7th. Before the start of that ill-fated inning, six of the last 10 batters …

2007-09-02 03:28 How's That For A Jolt
The Sox needed a spark, and tonight Clay Buchholz provided it by becoming the first-ever Red Sox rookie to throw a no-hitter. Buchholz - with Jason Varitek at the steering wheel - befuddled the Orioles all night long with an assortment of sinking fastballs, curves, and change-ups and ended up with a no-no in his second MLB start. Not too shabby. There were three threatening moments during the game, at least from what I saw. Coco made nice plays on two line drives headed for the left-centerfield …

Yankees 9, Devil Rays 6: Mike Mussina might want to worry now. Ian Kennedy threw seven innings of three-run ball -- though only one run was earned -- as the Yankees evened their series against the Devil Rays. Mussina might start if Roger Clemens is unable to go Monday, but the rookie Kennedy probably earned himself a few more starts with this one. Alex Rodriguez found himself at the center of everything today. He hit a first-inning home run, made the error that led to the two unearned runs, then …

2007-08-30 21:57 Torre Will Not Be Appeased By Chamberlain's Rules
I realize I already wrote about Joba Chamberlain and his rules today but after today's happenings there was cause for an update. Chamberlain entered the eighth inning of a 2-0 game and threw his 11th scoreless frame since getting called up to the big leagues. In the bottom of the eighth the Yankees piled on three insurance runs to push the Red Sox to the brink of a sweep and negating the need to use Mariano Rivera in the ninth. It would also seem to preclude the neccesity of using Chamberlain fo …
