Maybe if you blow a doobie with the neighbor, it might help the meditative process and help you find the words.

Ever since you decided you wanted to "make a confession" to a guy dressed as a priest who likes to hang out in the boys room at a middle school, I've thought that you should take a closer look at your feelings for Hank.

No shit. I'm kind of disappointed we gave him an extra year (although, let's be honest, it ain't my money). He was (literally) huge in his contract year. It's definitely going to get worse. But we have to build a staff starting somewhere.

True. And if the Sox had signed him I would be telling myself it's a great deal, too. It is--he's a good pitcher and will probably pitch well for a while. The Yankees, like the Sox, can afford to eat some huge contract at the end if he stops performing. Hell, the Sox gave Schilling $8m to do nothing (and knowing that would be the case) and paid Manny $7m to play for the dodgers just this year.

Lotta money for someone who was 6-8 with a 3.83 ERA against the AL last year.

If the Sox had signed him, we could have handed you the World Series for the next 3 years.

The questions now become, can we (i) sign Burnett or Lowe (Lowe probably a better bet because of the durability), (ii) retain Pettitte, (iii) keep Joba injury-free and (iv) develop Hughes into a major league pitcher (I suspect we will--I think last year's poor showing was because of injury).

If only we had allowed ARod to walk. Oh well. I guess we have to win during the first 3/4ths of the regular season* too.

*ARod's favorite time of year.

No. It's because the NL can't hit. Manny had to show them how it's done in the AL.

Manny hits better than anyone else in the AL and NL when he wants to. The fact that he was so awesome with the Sox without really trying is mind blowing. But Sabathia's AL era and win/loss record last year is the product of the first however many games or so when he was having serious mechanical problems.

I am skeptical about the future of both of these guys, but at least I don't have to worry about it 'cause the Twins certainly aren't signing them.

I wish I was a Twins fan. They can't spend, but their players seem to have a real affinity for the organization and MN in general. They always exceed expectations. It must be nice.

This Is Your Chance. In 500 words or less, make the case for TM to leave the rich, soulless, and ultimately unsatisfying world of Yankee Nation and move on over to the gentler, kinder and better environs of Shea. You may invoke unicorns in your pitch, but be forewarned that the use of derogatory terms directed at Yankee organizations and/or fans, whether "asshole" or otherwise, will probably be counterproductive.

You have to hand it to the Pohlads. By slashing the payroll and getting the league to threaten contraction they created a really organization-friendly set of expectations. No one expects them to pay Santana $25 mil a year, so there is no backlash for trading him, or for not signing Hunter to a huge deal.

The fans are happy as long as they keep scouting well, coming up with exciting young players, and being in the hunt in the division.

Never happen. If I were to ever leave, it would be for the Twins, whose games I've actually attended. But I'm die-hard. If I can live through Steinbrenner in the 80s there is nothing that could drive me away from the Yankees.

I could never cheer for the Mets. Ever.

Not only that, but they always offer what sounds like a big contract to their soon-to-be-departing players and talk like they're offering as much as they possibly can, knowing full well they'll be overwhelmed in 3 days by a big market team. So the fans never get that upset.

And they should be. It's fun watching young players develop and grow (especially good ones and you guys have a great farm system). If you guys would break the bank when things look good for a free agent for a run every now and then, it would be perfect.

TM
Yeah. Although I think their runs are more likely to come from a mid-level free agent who out performs expectations (ala Chili Davis in 2001) than from a top flight free agent. They have been trying for that but recently haven't been able to even get middling performance from their free agent signings (see, e.g. Rondell White, Mike Lamb, and Livan Hernandez, although he started last season hot).
