Lo Coco > (...whuts!ogre) > (...szuxn!ogre) > 1-201-467-7436 what? you contradict yourself...."if the yankees had the pitching that the o's have...."; what the hell are you talking about, the o's had era over 4 this year. also, i didn't say that weaver was a bad manager, just that he screwed up this season. And I agree that he may have done a better job if he started at the beginning of the season. And as an aside, I happen to think Weaver is indeed a good/great manager. I do not classify martin here because he has no regard for his players future, if it should get in the way of his future plans. I believe (you will vehemently disagree) that he knew he didn't want to stay with the A's, so tried to make himself look good at any cost, and impress George. Which he did and he ended up where he wanted to be, NY. BUT, is billy your father or something? I mean, I said that I hated billy in my original message....but what's your excuse for loving him? Stop thinking with you tiny head up your colon every time someone criticizes anything that is remotely connected with the yankees, a team which you are in love with obviously.
