He's not only a secret Sock, he dislikes Geico as well.

"I'm Okay and You're Okay"

Joe Girardi is a likeable guy. He played hard with the Yanks, unfortunately his short tenure as a skipper has been a little underwhelming. It's very difficult to understand his unpredictable managing style. He makes head-scratching bench moves (having a perfectly healthy Bobby Abreu sit out 10 times in a 162 game season). Between the lines, a lot of his moves do not make sense. In the clubhouse however, his style becomes even more frustrating. After a depressing loss, the media typically looks for the manager to discuss: ( bad pitches, slumps coming to an end, etc.) as a factor in the defeat. Giradi uses an entirely different method to depress Yankee fans. He has five preset responses and ran out of original things to say about halfway through spring training:

1.)Well, you know * had some good swings/making his pitches
2.)Well, you know it was a tough road trip, we're looking forward to coming home, get a little bit of that home cooking *ahuhuhuhuhuh* No, but seriously they're a talented club.
3.)Well, you know I like the way this team is made up.
4.)Well, you know the (insert any awful team) are a strong group with some nice young pitching and talented superstars. These are major-league hitters we're talking about.
5.)Well, he didnt have his best stuff, tonight. I'm going to consult with Davey (Eiland) about his pitch count, or something of that nature.

Missing Moose

The Yankees didn't make the playoffs in '08. With 89 victories however, at least they kept it interesting going into September. Mike Mussina had a career year, posting 20 wins for the first time in his career. 5 years from now when he first appears on a Hall of Fame ballot, none of his detractors can mention the 20 win milestone. He never did win a World Series ring, but thats: (Mariano's fault in '01, A-Rod since '04, and Wang in '07)

These are Rocket's stats before he started to be disowned by the ungrateful Sox. It's obvious Roger was going to have a Hall of Fame career even before his "alleged" steroid use.

Until McNamee's evidence (Needles he held onto for 12 years) prove otherwise, Roger Clemens is entirely innocent. He has given enough to the Boston Red Sux, The Yankees, (and the Blue Jays..... maybe), I believe fans should give him the benefit of the doubt. His country lawyer, Rusty Harden, seems trustworthy. Roger himself seems pretty well-adjusted, and I can't remember the Rocket ever exhibiting " 'roid rage".

The Yankee Years

"Did Torre screw up? No question."

Former Yankees manager Joe Torre has been getting a lot of flak for telling secrets about the Yanks. Torre is supposed to be a manager who is all class, and always tries to keep everyone's personal problems out of the media. Apparently A-Rod is A-fraud, but we already knew that. (A-Rod and Cal Ripken Jr. are the phoniest professional athletes that have ever lived)
