http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/346961p-296090c.html Would you want him as part of the Mets front office? Later

Not at all. Way too much a Yankee.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 16 2005 04:18 PM

But Yankees know how to win! Isn't that what we were told when Willie was hired?

seawolf17 Sep 16 2005 04:19 PM

Yeah, well, they lied.

metirish Sep 16 2005 04:24 PM

Bill Madden writes similar articles it seems every year regarding Michael, those two go way back and are great friends, smells fishy to me.

sharpie Sep 16 2005 04:30 PM

Then maybe we can hire Billy Connor.

SI Metman Sep 16 2005 04:32 PM

uh, hell yes. This was the man who put together a team that won 4 out of 5 championships.

Edgy DC Sep 16 2005 04:36 PM

What did Bob Watson do?

seawolf17 Sep 16 2005 04:39 PM

I believe he scored MLB's one millionth run.

sharpie Sep 16 2005 05:17 PM

Broke the league president color line.

Bill White, I believe, did the latter. I kind of meant to imply a desire to dissuade peeps from giving Michael such exclusive credit for the Yankee championship run.

The best part (OK, 2nd best) about the Yanx not making the post-season this year will be to see the upheaval that results. Cashman - on account of not being signed - is the most likely candidate to disappear. The part about losing to Boston because they had the better advance scouting is hysterical. In the meantime I'll use this thread to talk about tonight's Yanqui game. Big Unit didn't have it at the start and was walking a bunch and gave up a 3R Jack to Vernon Wells. He then got frustrated at a ball/strike call and [u:cb18aed440]got ejcected[/u:cb18aed440] in the 2nd. As usual this only helped the club (I'm convinced that NYY pitchers can't pitch bad enough to lose a game) as they then went on to club every assorted Toronto pitcher to take an 11-3 lead. It's now the bottom of 7 and it's [u:cb18aed440]11 - 10[/u:cb18aed440] NYY with the Jays threatening to tie it up ... Nope, the 7th ends and it's still 11 - 10. Should be a fun 8th & 9th. Injuns won, Boston losing early following a long rain delay.

Yanx out quietly in top 8 -- Sturtze in to pitch the bottom

Michael was the architect of the Yankee farm system that produced Rivera Pettite Posada Williams Soriano Bob Wickman Mike Lowell Ramiro Mendoza Ted Lilly And a number of guys who got traded for one reason or another. Easily would be a plus to the Mets, who are still pretty bare in the prospect department.

Jays go scoreless in their half of the 8th. 11 - 10 Papi (who else?) goes deep to tie up the A's in the 6th. 2 - 2

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2005 10:32 PM

Yanx go quitely in the 9th -- will go to Mariano to close it out for what I believe is the 73rd game in a row.

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2005 10:45 PM

Bottom 9: - [u:fc3b6f77de]Koskie [/u:fc3b6f77de] hits a bullet ... but right at CFer Crosby - [u:fc3b6f77de]Gross [/u:fc3b6f77de] grounds back to the box - [u:fc3b6f77de]Zaun [/u:fc3b6f77de] singles to RF ... and gets a pinch runner - [u:fc3b6f77de]Adams[/u:fc3b6f77de] grounds into a FC and the Yanquis win Shitfuck, that one would have been fun!
