The 2008 Major League Baseball season could be a really interesting one. The are many questions flying around about many different things in the league. Will this be the year that he Chicago Cubs end the curse? What team will Barry Bonds end up on? Can the New York Yankees win with A Rod? How will Joe Torre do in Los Angeles? That is just to name a few that I will be giving you answers to in the next week. I myself think that the Yankees are going to win it all again. They have retooled there pitching staff with young arms, but still have veteran leadership to take them to the promise land.

My World Series predication is going to be the Chicago Cubs vs. the New York Yankees. With the Yankees winning in 6 and closing the door of Yankee Stadium in style.

May the force be with you!

Torre: One Storied Franchise to another !!

Joe Torre was introduced as the Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. I would like to congratulate him on moving from one powered franchise on the East coast to the Yankee like team in the National, on the west coast. I believe he will bring a World Series ring to LA.He is bring along Mr Yankee, Don Mattingly as his hitting coach and Larry Bowa will either become his bench coach or third base coach. Can Joe win world series with the Dodgers as he has in New York? Will he get the same payroll and talent? What is everyone expectation on how well he will do?

Torre Turn’s Down Yankee’s !

After making the playoff for the past 12 season and going 4 and 2 in the world series, New Yankees Manager has turned down a deal that would make him the coach next season. He turned down a 5 million dollar deal that was 2.5 million less than his old deal, plus he was not guaranteed the 2009 season unless the team made the world series. To me this is bad. Joe Torre is everything the Yankees every want in a manger. He is calm Cool and collective. He has the New York/Gangster mystique. I would like to thank Joe for being able to see him manage the greatest team in baseball and let him know that he will be missed.

So where does this leave the Yankees? Who would you like to see them get to replace Torre?Also do they start the rebuilding process?

To all the Yankee Haters!!

This goes out to all the people out there that Hate the Yankees. I have heard people call them the evil empire. The Store bought championship team. Also heard them called the billionaire club. I do not see how you can hate a team that likes players that win! I have been a Yankee fan for a long time and they have not won anything since getting these high paid players, the titles they won were from players that were from there minor league system. The team is not winning games by paying the players what they pay them, they have won the titles because they are a well managed team. Joe Torre has been the main reason. Also, they have a team leader in Derek Jeter that wears the Yankee uniform with pride. He is to the Yankees the same as Michael Jordan was to the Chicago Bulls. I know that Torre Manged other teams and couldn’t win, but he did not have the bench coaches and the players that worked well together. It is a team game people. The reason they got hot at the end of the year is not ONE Player. IT is cause the all came together and started playing good. So the question I ask is why do you hate the Yankees so much? What would you say if the Kansas City Royals did the same? If you are not a Yankee hater what do you love about the team?
