I understand the circumstances and that is was a mistake. I don't care either way as I didn't have money on the game nor do I care what happens in the NL West.
But I question the free pass you give Mattingly...And if it was another teams coaches, say from the AL East, somewhere north of NY, would that free pass still stand? I think your opinion may be different.
Its all good. Just wondering where the "homer" limit is set with you. LOL (now I'm just trying to pick on you)
Donny was never really 'my boy', just like Jeter isn't really 'my boy'.
Donny is indeed kind of dopey in a hick sort of way, Jeter is cold and calculating and hard to lilke.
So when Donny stopped playing for NYY, he's just another guy to me, same with Jeter.
Having said that Donny can play first for my team any day of the week, same with DJ, I would not want too many other SS's there, but that is as far as it get to homerism's with those two.
Who are 'my boys', you wonder?
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE
Murcer
Tino
Mick
Brosius
and a bunch of others.
