A Biased Look at the New York Yankees, the Greatest Franchise in the History of Sports

Breaking the Silence

by @ 10:53 am. Filed under 2006 Season

Alright, it’s been over a week since the Yankees lost to the Tigers in the ALDS.  Yes, it was disappointing.  Very disappointing.  And something definitely must be done to fix this.  I don’t think canning Joe Torre and hiring Lou Pinella is the answer though.  Pinella has one championship to his name, and that was a team that Pete Rose pretty much built.  Since 1990, he hasn’t done a whole lot either, other then take the Mariners to a 116 win season and then choke in the ALCS.

The name of the game is pitching and the Yankees haven’t done a good job in this department.  Randy Johnson, Jaret Wright and Carl Pavano have all underperformed and Mike Mussina isn’t getting any younger.  That leaves Chien-Ming Wang and a bunch of unprovens.  I’m thinking we should pass on Gary Sheffield and use that money to get some pitching.

The death of Cory Lidle was tragic.  My initial reaction to the crash was “oh crap, here we go again.”  Then when it came out that it was Lidle, it seemed to make for a bizare twist for me.  I was eight when Thurman Munson passed and I only remember it a little bit. 

So, what’s on tap for the offseason?  A couple of things.  I’m going to start my Joe DiMaggio retrospective and then come 2007, I’m going to work on a 1927 Yankees diary.  If you’re not familiar with this, you should check out Gas House Gang.  He just finished up a 1926 Cardinals diary with the Cardinals winning their first World Series against the New York Yankees in seven games.  And of course I’ll be following the offseason exploits of the Yankees.
