AL East Thread

I'd rather he wear the number of that guy who played for the Yankees in the '80s.

Who had better numbers than first ballot HOF Kirby Puckett.

Don't @ me!

"People have it right," Mattingly said. "The reason he was so loved, it wasn't about his career -- even though he was a great, great player -- it was really more about the person, how great a guy he was, the way he treated people, how humble, how sincere and kind he was to people. That's really what defined him and why he's touched so many people."

When Mattingly first came to the Dodgers, Derek Lowe already wore the No. 23 that Mattingly had always been identified with, so he chose No. 8 in honor of Berra. When Lowe left the Dodgers after the 2008 season, clubhouse manager Mitch Poole asked Mattingly if he wanted his old number back.

"I told Mitch I wanted to stay with eight," Mattingly said Wednesday in the Dodgers dugout. "Everything Yogi touches turns to gold and I was looking for gold.

Think Donnie has done a decent job

I really thought the Marlins would be breaking all time records this season for all the wrong reasons

Puckett was a wife-beater. And Derek Lowe should have given that shit up immediately.

Cool with the Yogi love tho

I always wanted him to get the Yankee job, but in retrospect I'm glad he didn't. That job only ends one way-and it would have been incredibly hard to watch him get canned.

Agreed, I have to admit I thought Girardi was the right choice, I'm not the fan of Donnie the manager nearly as much as the player, think he underachieved pretty mightily as a manager

Red Sox will be the "home" team June 29-31 in London vs Yanks.

Wonder if Judge and Sanchez will be back by then...

No, but the Yanks have to go to LA, while the Sox get the Dodgers at home.

It's an outrage!

MLB stacking the schedule for the Yankees again. Should just cut out the pretext and give the Yankees 162 home games.

I honestly can't believe Henry gave up 3 home games next year-especially Yankee home games.

 

[nynasty]

Huh

On August 22, 1978 the NY Yankees sat 8 games back of the Red Sox in the AL East.

What a coink-e-dink.

He's angling for a future all star game

He owns a soccer team over there too, doesn't he? Wondering if that had something to do with it.
