I honestly think that Ozzie is going nowhere in 2006, no matter what happens this year, but stranger things have happened in MLB....

 

I think Piniella would be a great fit as manager of the Chicago White Sox in 2006...

 

In the Trib today it was mentioned that the chain between Reinsdorf, the Hawk, and Piniella is "transparent" (whatever that means)....

 

do you think that means that the Hawk could have something to say about Ozzie's status next year?????

Sure, it would be the best thing ever to happen to this franchise at this moment in time.

 

 

 

 

It's just not possible though.

I would love for it to happen, I just don't see it happening. Hopefully we win the World Series and Ozzie could be out of here as manager. He should be a broadcaster.

 

"Lou is teh managah. He maa da lineup car's, naht deez keedz."

I say we hire Piniella as manager next year and give Ozzie a job like his son has. Keep the guys lose in the bench and be an interpreter. Sort of a motivator. So we give Ozzie 's son's job to Ozzie and his son as the official bat boy. I still want Ozzie to stay with this organization for a long time.

Wouldn't it be worth it just to hear how many times Hawk could say the phrase "Sweet Lou"?

 

One of these years also, Steinbrenner is going to just give up and fire Torre. If they miss the playoffs this year...who knows.

I see the Yanks making the playoffs this year.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but there has been a lot of speculation of both Cashman and Torre out the door this year.

 

I'm 99% certain Cashman's contract ends after this season and if his Steinbrenner-hand-picked Yankees fail to make the post-season, I think you very well may see both Cashman and Torre out of the Bronx.

 

If that's the case, enter Lou Piniella.

Doubtful with the money left on Torre's contract. I get this feeling Lou is not the type of manager JR would ever hire. Just look at our list of past managers.

They'd have to give Torre a ton of money.

 

Cashman will be gone one way or the other. The Tampa side of the Yanks is in George's ear right now.

They'd have to give Torre a ton of money.

When it comes to firing managers...I don't think anything could stop the Stein if he really decided to do it.
