Montclair's Harvey Araton muses about the Yanks and Girardi here.
To quote an esteemed neighbor of mine in Montclair, N.J., it’s like déjà vu all over again. We have no way of knowing when the Yankees will return to the World Series, but who would deny that they are back to having a very public owner who believes it is all about him and his team?
Oh, the uncertainty. Makes me glad I'm a Mets fan.















Seems to be the consensus that Scott Boras is a world-class a**hole. He had to apoligize (it doesn't count when you apologize because you have to) to the Commish et alia for stepping on the Red Sox moment of victory with his press release that A-Rod was going to be a free agent. Perhaps, as I suggested a week or so earlier, Boras has a future with the Yankees. Of course by now, he could probably afford to buy them (with a little leverage). But then he would have to negotiate with himself, which sounds to me like a sure-fire recipe for implosion.
