Some Yankees news ...


Things are slow right now, but the hot stove should heat up in November with free agent signings, trades, contracts expiring, ect. Here's a few quick items:
1. Cashman has signed a new three-year deal to remain GM of Yanks. Says that, as of now, Wang is the only starter guaranteed a spot in the rotation next season.
2. Mo had successful surgery on his bum shoulder. He'll be throwing by January. No problems expected.
3. Yanks have decided against holding a second Yankee Stadium sendoff in November. There was talk of a concert, or having more old players come back, but they now feel that the ceremonies held on Sept. 21 would be hard to top, and that the last event at Yankee Stadium should be a baseball game. Jeter's speech to the fans and the team's tip of the cap and salute to the fans was the final moment. Nice move.

Watched some of Game 1 of the NLCS from Philly tonight and I must say that I am so thankful to be a Yankee fan and that I go to games at a stadium where there is no "towel waving." There is nothing worse than seeing a bunch of poser fans - that come out of the woodwork when a team gets hot -waving towels at a baseball game. It's gay.
