Yankees talk to Bowa

October 20, 2005
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Philadelphia Phillies manager Larry Bowa is talking to the New York Yankees about the possibility of joining the team as a coach.

Bowa was fired by the Phillies on the final weekend of the 2004 season after leading the team to a 337-308 record. Known for a fiery personality, he was 81-127 in 1 1/2 seasons with San Diego from 1987-88.

New York has two coaching openings following the departures of bench coach Joe Girardi and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre.

Griff, I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but...the Yankees will not be a truly good team again until Steinbrenner is no longer calling the shots.

Griff · 10-22-2005, 08:00 AM

When I read about how the Astros took that potentially crushing loss to StL it made me think about how far the Yanks have drifted from the team concept. George will be there a long time but they can get away from the big ego model with a few key non-signings or trades over the next few years. If they want Jeter to function as the captain at this stage in his career he has to be the #1 guy with younger players looking to him.

Yay Sox!

On a different note, I really miss "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" at the seventh inning stretch. Why do I have to "rise and show my patriotism", a quote from tonight's ballpark announcer, for "God Bless America"? Hmm? I rise, remove my cap, and sing for the National Anthem at the start of the game--I like that part, but did you think I became an anarchist in the intervening 7.5 innings? Sheesh.

Yep, we're getting a Cotton Eyed Joe jones here as well. It was stirring after 911. It is bullpucky now.

Here's a really good explanation of why it's so difficult to hit a baseball.

plthijinx · 10-24-2005, 04:29 PM

that's pretty kewl there bruce. interesting read, thx.

now. GO 'STROS!

i'm still in shock over the grand slam ordeal from last night. now i'm hoping we don't get swept.
oh and MLB stepped in and is telling us whether or not to have the roof open.....from Here

Quote:

If the weather is nice, the roof at Minute Maid Park will be open for Game 3 of the World Series Tuesday night.

And it won't be the Astros' call.

Major League Baseball officials will decide.

``MLB controls the postseason, certainly the World Series,'' commissioner Bud Selig said. ``We really haven't gotten heavily involved in the debate.

6 to one half dozen the other. let's just play ball.......

plthijinx · 10-26-2005, 07:13 AM

CHOKE!

plthijinx · 10-26-2005, 11:12 PM

oh, and one little rant: fuck you to CWS fan that slapped Biggio's wife. you are a worthless piece of shit.

I hadn't heard about this before, so I just went and looked it up. On behalf of Chicago, I apologize for this sniveling twit. I hope he ends up doing jail time over it.
