quotes of the morning

"They're not bringing Randy Levine and Brian Cashman down [to Tampa] just so everyone can eat corned beef hash together at the pancake house." - One Person with Intimate Knowledge of the Yankees' Operations

nevermind the questionable source, that's a cozy mental picture!


"I just think (the umpires) favor the Yankees all the time. I'm getting (ticked) about that. They (kiss) up to them. They are the cream of the crop." - Steve Kline

because, you know, it's not like there was a balk call made on a yankee pitcher earlier in the game.


"The players have to want to win as much as I do." - He Who Must Not Be Named

yeah, i bet they're sick of all that wanting to win crap. it's much more fun to collect your paycheck, hang out in hotel bars and chase skirts.


"This really is a flashpoint of this season. These meetings need to be productive, free of panic and impulse, because the East really is there for the Yankees to steal. It shouldn't be. Someone should have run away and hidden by now. No one has. The Yankees need to formulate a game plan for the season's final three months based in logic and sound baseball reasoning. - Mike Vaccaro

logic? sound reasoning? too much to ask!
