Yeah, what REALLY happened to Don Zimmer?

The graveyard of Yankees coaches

Cool. Is this near the monuments?

I think he is talking about Jose Cardinal, right?

Maybe MK is blaming Joe for what happened to Billy Martin.

I don't know about the coaches but Torre is reunited with Proctor and can further work on his arm.

...so says Lee Mazzilli.

Michael Kay is as tough on Joe Girardi as Mike Lupica is on his golfing buddy Wilpon's team.

--"And they didn't even ask Girardi about his rather strange encounter with respected Marlins broadcaster (and former Yankees radio voice) Tommy Hutton in the Marlins players' lounge?"--

this is a new one to me. Anybody know this story and want to fill in the details?

Wow, doesn't take long to get tossed under the bus in Yankeeland eh?

I think as a manager of the Yankees there is always a bus about 10 feet behind you. It may move slowly, never gaining on you for years and years, but as soon as you fall out of favor, it immediately accelerates.

respected Marlins broadcaster

Does such a thing exist?

--"And they didn't even ask Girardi about his rather strange encounter with respected Marlins broadcaster (and former Yankees radio voice) Tommy Hutton in the Marlins players' lounge?"--

It took awhile but a Google search found that apparently Girardi did not want team broadcasters eating from the same spread as the players. This led to conflict with Hutton. Now, there's an issue that the fans want to know about.

It always amazes me how the media telegraphs its interests to the fans and how some fans actually take those messages seriously. How a manager gets along with the media is probably about the 100th most important issue for me concerning a prospective manager. If anything a manager has to have a big enough ego not to take the media too seriously. That quality differs from whether a manager is a "buddy" to them.

I don't think Michael Kay wants to get involved a battle of skeletons in closets.

I'm not hip to this Raissman guy. It took ten solid seconds of staring at his byline photo to determine if that "moustache" was Sharpie or real.

As for Michael Kay, I'm hip to him. He'd (insert degrading act) for (insert fleeting, morally vacuous tangible or intangible good) anytime, anywhere.

Clog for used condoms?

A bigger bunch of spoiled, childish ingrates you won't find anywhere in the world than in Yankeeland.

except for all of NYC. Unless you are saying all New Yorkers are Yankee fans. In which case you are right.

“There are things about Joe Torre Alex Rodriguez, if I wanted to come out and say, would show how cold and calculated he really is,” Kay fumed. “… Joe Torre Alex Rodriguez is for Joe Torre Alex Rodriguez.

Yawn.

How dare you! We are the voice of the people.

yeesh, I've heard a lot of people ##### about New Yorkers, but now we're "spoiled, childish ingrates" too? Guiliani doesn't speak for all of us.

That is some ridiculous facial hair. He looks like the strongman from a 1930s circus.

What's scary and depressing is that is by and large the absolute truth.

Wait, we figured out the Joe Girardi thing, but does anyone have ANY IDEA what Kay is talking about?

...jolly-stomping?

Jolly stomping = piling on [pretty much]

Kay knows that Joe Torre was the one pumping carbon monoxide into his home, but he can't legally prove it. The only clue the assassin left behind was a five-pound eyebrow hair.

When I was a kid, I loved making Bob Raissman on those toys where you dragged magnetic facial hair onto a face. Now that I think about it, I would probably still get a kick out of it.

Now wait, I thought we'd established that Kevin Youkilis was Wooly Willy. You're just confusing things by bringing Raissman into the equation.

Or can you make Raissman out of Kevin Youkilis? Hmm...

"...The graveyard of Yankees coaches is loaded with bones of coaches Joe Torre did nothing about.”

Um, shouldn't someone notify the authorities? Last I heard, the perp was skipping town for the West Coast.

Have no fear...I believe he's on the FBI's "10 Most Vaunted List"

I was thinking Daniel Day-Lewis from "Gangs of New York."
