Let's Play Some Fuckin' Ball!

Ok, so my beloved Yankees got their asses handed to them yet again in the first round of the playoffs. It's gonna be an interesting off-season to say the least. Joe Torre, most likely, won't be back and this could cause a mass exodus of players. Jorge Posada, Bobby Abreu (Fozzy Bear), A-Rod and Mariano could be wearing different uniforms next year and it could all come down to if Papa Joe stays or not. I don't expect him to be here. Jorge's gonna test the market and they better treat the situation w/ Mariano gently. That leaves Abreu. First off, I'd like to bring the size of his glove to your attention. You could catch a melon in that thing. Second, he's not a #3 hitter. Plain and simple. I'd like to see him stay but he's better suited to be your 6th or 7th guy on the lineup. Who should be #3 then? Robinson Cano. .300 hitter, career high in homers and RBI's this season and he'll only get better.
Who else should get the fuck out of my city? Let's see . . . Giambi. Gone. Trade his ass. He wants to go to either Oakland or Anaheim? Good. Their pitching is better than ours. Get a decent reliever for him. Keep Matsui as the DH. Mussina? Gone! Double Gone!!! If you need an explaination then you can leave to. Farnsworth? Trade his ass. He still throws 96mph, believe me, somebody will want him. As a matter of fact, you could package up Giambi and Farnsworth for say a third baseman or a really good reliever. Would Eric Chavez play in New York? How about Scott Shields? Hmmm, interesting. I say 3rd baseman because A-Rod won't be here. I'm sorry but the Yankees are gonna lose 21 million just by him opting out of his contract. I think he'll be in San Fran next year.
The pitching rotation should be this: Wang, Pettite, Kennedy, Hughes and Chamberlain.
#1. Wang better get his head out of his ass and start sinking those sinker balls.
#2. Pettite might not even stay if Joe goes. He could retire and has actually said it.
#3. Kennedy, Hughes and Joba are young with a lot of upside. can't wait to see them be one of the nastiest 1-2-3 punches in MLB history.
In a nutshell, I think they gotta go after some serious relievers. Giambi, Farnsworth and Mussina should be gone. Bring in some heat from other cities. Keep Mo and Posada. If Abreu leaves it's ok. A-Rod is gone as far as I'm concerned and you can get whoever the hell you want with the money that would be free to play with. I think we all know that Papa Joe's gone. I'll miss him, you'll miss him. I love that guy like my own father for christ's sake. So I will leave you with two words: JOE GIRARDI.
