As scary as this sounds, I agree.
I don't blame NY in this case. If Mazzone wants to stay in Atlanta and was really that loyal he would have told NY and Balt. he was not interested. He is still under contract to Atlanta so they had to give him permission to talk to other teams, and they did. If they didn't want him to leave they could have said No and/or offered him a LT deal.
OMG! I'm telling you... the apocalypse is surely coming, now!

I'm not so sure Mazzone would have guru-like success in Big Apple.
Remember, his greatest success has been with young pitchers that were groomed in ATL system.
Do you think he would make such an immediate impact??
$#@&...only Vegas again?? Padres ...gotta start believin'!Bring on '14 Spring Training!

Like Greg Maddux (Cubs) or John Smoltz (Tigers)?
Just kidding. I think you are right about the YOUNG part of that. But veterens have a tendancy to want to do things their own way, and Mazzone's program (which includes throwing every day) is different to a vet.

Pssst ... LB- The sign of the apocalypse was BoR and I agreeing on something, NOT the impact of the Yankees actually getting Mazzone

Now that pitching coach Mel Stottlemeyer has left the team, Steinbrenner is targeting Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone to replace him.
Mazzone has loyally served Bobby Cox for a long, long, time, and has never shown any inclination that he would like to leave. But George thinks, "We're the Yankees, we can have anyone we want" so he believes that Mazzone will throw out long-time loyalties and jump ship, just because they are the Yankmees.
Heaven forbid the Yankees actually try and build their own team. Just go out and buy what's been working for everyone else. Do they even HAVE a farm team?
A friend of mine is a huge White Sox fan. He called me today and told me abot a greeting card he got in the mail. On the cover was the White Sox logo. Inside it said:
I'd rather have a sister in a whorehouse than a brother in a Cubs hat.

No, they plucked Robbie Cano and Chien Ming Wang off the streets.
Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
Five of us will be in Vegas with our Clemens shirts while he pitches Saturday night!!! Hope Jimmy announces our score!
Will we be Twinkie Dates?
Hey Nancy!
I was afraid to even open this thread
You better know I stayed away on purpose!!!! Got my rally cap on. In fact I got it the last time I was in VEGAS for someone else and still have it.
Do you get the Houston TV stations???
They are going nuts in Houston!!!!
Nope...our wonderful cable company chose to NOT put Houston news on tonight. We usually get Channel 11. I'm watching on Fox tho. Bring on that champagne.
I'm telling you... the apocalypse is surely coming, now!
