The following short rant was too long for Twitter so I’ve transplanted it here: Omar Minaya said yesterday that Jerry Manuel and Howard Johnson are safe… for now. So today everyone and their grandmother is siding with or against Minaya’s opinion. A lot of people were surprised by this but I’m not. I mean, what [ ... ] ...

I don't hold against Billy Wagner his sudden rediscovery of his inner Brave any more than I'd fume at Brian Schneider at this point for remembering what a Phillies fan he'd always been. This is what ballplayers who aren't Chris Coste do when they go to a new ballclub. They find a reason to have always wanted to be where they suddenly are. I'm sure Billy comes closer than most to meaning it when he says stuff like, "I remember Bob Horner hitting four home runs in a game." ... Billy wasn't quite

In February 1998, Al Leiter became a Met. He couldn't have been happier to join the team he said he rooted hard for during his childhood, which he once referred to as "the Mike Vail years" ... This is really exciting for me. I feel like a little kid ... All it took was Wayne Huizenga dismantling the World Champion Florida Marlins before they could defend their title. Steve Phillips gladly handed over three prospects in exchange for a durable lefty who threw hard and competed like crazy. One Met

People who think computers play baseball will say the Angels are down 2 games to 1. But computers don't play baseball. And when you have a teammate like Derek Jeter, and you see the way he goes about his business and how calm he is after a game like that, it's like you've won. So the computers may say the Angels are down just one game, but if you're in the Yankee clubhouse you feel like you just won two games. That's the kind of player Derek Jete -- ... I'm sorry, I came down here and Joe

"After tomorrow, we do what all ballplayers do: we shake hands 'til we see each other next season. Then we go fishing or hunting, make some personal appearances, get to know the wife and kids again." ... —Morris Buttermaker ... I'm all for accountability. I'm all for transparency.
