SILLY SEASON - 11/26

***DID BORAS HIT A WALL?***
The Angels are unwilling to go beyond 7 years for Teixeira. Bore-us wants 10 years (probably because that's what A-Rod got). Artie Moreno is one owner that isn't afraid of Boras, who likes to drag things out until everybody panics. Good for you, Artie.

***ANGELS NOW FOCUSING ON SABATHIA***
It's been said they're willing to go as high as $135 million, which is close enough for Sabathia to go to California. Uh, ten years for Teixeira isn't really that bad, is it, Artie?

***PETTITTE TALKING TO DODGERS***
Fine, you're not getting $16 million from the Yanks.

***STOTTLEMEYER LET GO AS MARINERS PITCHING COACH***
Mel, you might want to try the Dodgers. Torre, Mattingly, Proctor, Pettitte...it'll be like old home week. Emphasis on the "old".

***BORAS WANTS POSADA MONEY FOR VARITEK***
He'll have to get it from Jorge, 'cause no major league team is going to pay it. As a concession, Boras says he willing to accept 3 years and not 4. Gee, thanks. Boston is willing to talk but indications are that what they're saying is, "Here's your hat, what's your hurry?" How does the Batavia Muckdogs sound?

***YANKEE NOTES***
A-Rod, why are you wasting your time with Madonna when Danielle Gamba is available? Besides, I think she wants to meet Nick Swisher.

Speaking of Swisher, I read that he has already been called by Girardi, Kevin Long and A-rod, welcoming him to the Yanks. ...but no Jeter. How come? Maybe Derek was too busy calling Danielle.

The Yanks have announced they are holding the line on ticket prices...in Tampa. While this may be great for Watusi's daughter, it ain't helping us New Yorkers.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! Annie-o and Chad will be dining with the #2 female Yankee fan of the Picasner clan, little Sarah.
