The sons are not spending like George, and their payroll is going down.

We'll have to see how this year's offseason plays out. The Yankees have not gotten anybody yet, but they really don't have a big need right now. They are pretty set with the team they have. I wonder if they will be as good as they were last year, or will winning the World Series cause them to be a little lax?

C'mon, guys, we all need to pay closer attention. I can't believe you don't know about these BIG-name signings by the Yankees:

Royce Ring, a lefty reliever, to a minor-league contract

Reid Gorecki, outfielder, to a minor-league contract

David Winfree, outfielder, to a minor-league contract

Boone Logan, relief pitcher

These are massive signings, future Hall-of-Fame signings!!!!

Just ask one of the Steinbrenner assholes.

Are you sure those aren't the signings from the Jays?

It's pretty difficult for an AL East team to beat NYY and/or BOS, and any AL team to win the WC. It's those 2 and 2 other teams that have to win their division. I'm glad my team is in The NL.

Nah, the Jays have been sniffing around the girl's softball league I used to run, wondering whether they could pass off some of the shorter-haired kids (acquired, of course, for next to nothing), as boys.

My sister is a pretty good pitcher. She could probably throw her fastball(and it isn't even overhand) and it would probably strike out Vernon Wells!

Of course, that's not saying much. A ball rolling along the ground at 5 mph would garner a strikeout from him.

JEN:

This is not meant to be insultive or offensive in ANY way.

But what kind of answer would you be expecting?

You would fit in very well with the Jays, Jen. They have not had a good-hitting shortstop in a loooooong time. They have had good defensive players there(Johnny Mac, for example), which have saved runs on quite a few plays.

I would prefer you to play that position than Johnny Mac. You would both be good defensively, but you are far prettier.
