The Daily Yankeeland - 10/25

Time to catch up a little on our favorite band of underachievers. You can end the speculation that Larry Bowa might return to the Yankees as third base coach. He'll be staying on in with Joe Torre in LA as will Don Mattingly and the rest of the staff. There's still talk about Milwaukee's interim manager Dale Sveum taking the job, but as we have pointed out before, Sveum held the position and Boston and did not do a good job in the eyes of Red Sox fans.

Speaking of Milwaukee, rumors has it that Willie Randolph is interviewing for the job. Good luck Willie!

Darryl Strawberry had some sage words of advice for Joba Chamberlain after the latter's DUI arrest. If anyone has learned from experienced, it's the Straw man.

Congress is reviewing allegations that the Yankees improperly received funding for additional expenses in building the new Stadium. Randy Levine told Congress that the Yankees would have left town if not for the funding they received. Sure, Randy, go work on your perm.

It may just be rumor, but word is that the Yankees and Cubs may play an exhibition game in the new Stadium before the official opener.

To Hell with Texas

If we cross our fingers is it considered lying?





Hopefully Andy Pettitte's press conference is the last we have to hear from him or Roger Clemens for a while. If we hear y'all used that often again, we're going to bite through our tongues. Pettitte's press conference/public apology concluded a short time ago.

As expected Pettitte was humble in his press conference today. He was apologetic, though he still feels that using HGH to rehab an injury is not trying to get an edge. We wholeheartedly disgree with him on that subject. Lets cut the semantic bullshit. If you are using an illegal substance and another pitcher with the same injury is not using any illegal substance, you are in fact getting an edge over that other pitcher.

Pettitte, of course, talked a lot about his faith in God, the bible, etc., to ad nauseum. After saying he would answer all questions, he quickly retreated from any questions about the specifics of his testimony before congress, particularly those involving Roger Clemens. He did answer 95% of what was thrown at him, though most of the questions/answers got highly repetitive after 5 minutes.

Pettitte does realize his relationship with Clemens could be very much hurt by this whole mess and he also felt genuinely bad about Brian McNamee's situation. He also seemed ready to accept any punishment that baseball or others may hand down. Pettitte also realizes it could be very hard this season to keep the low profile he normally maintains.

As we said earlier today, Pettitte has taken a hit in our hearts and minds. He was a player to look up to. Now he's a player that you can never be sure is telling the complete truth.
