Going, Going, Gone

Manny Being Manny is going to the LA Dodgers.
Sox are getting Jason Bay.
Pirates are getting Brandon Moss, Craig Hansen*, Bryan Morris and Andy LaRoche (who is the younger brother of Bucks first baseman Adam).

Did we get enough for giving up Manny, paying the rest of his contract, Moss and Hansen?

I don't know. I still need to wrap my head around it. In my initial opinion, the Pirates made out and their new GM did what he needed to do.

But damnit, I was secretly cheering for Torre to get his ring if the Sox didn't get one...no more, sorry Joe, at least not this year. But damn that would have been awesome to shove in the face of the MFY!

*No love lost for Hansen, he was Yankees fan anyway

Torre Reportedly Turns Down Deal to Return as Yankees Manager for 13th Season

Seriously, if this is true I'll be so excited. And no, it's not because I'm happy Torre will be gone from the Yankees. I like Joe. I like him a lot.

It is such a slap in the face for him to be offered a contract extension of 1 year for 1/3 his salary. I would love it for Joe to slam the door in Steinbrenner's face. He's been abused by that @ss long enough.

I know the senile jerk is being replaced by his two sons, Hank and Hal, but I still like to see Torre turn him/them down.

Of course, this opens the door for the Yankees to say they "tried" to keep Torre and didn't fire him. I wonder if this means Pettitte, Posada and Rivera are staying? Hmm....more to come on this.

The Artwork of 'Emperor Steinbrenner' was done by my very talented cousin, Erin Biscoe. More of her Yankees artwork to come including 'Darth Jeter and Darth Damon'
