I agree w/ Giambi, anybody notice how Sosa hasn't been 'slammin' like he used to ever since the cork incident? Hahaha

I went to Yankees games when I used to live in that area back when I was a wee little lad. I don't like how the organization is being run now though. Signing the aging Kevin Brown? Signing the not-so team-oriented Gary Sheffield? Releasing young Soriano? C'mon, gimme a break George!

Oh and about the All-Star Game...I think Torre is a great coach but the game isn't about picking your own players, it's about the guys who have played the best.

Starting 1B Jason Giambi: Batting .241
David Ortiz: had 12 more home runs and 43 more RBI.

Starting SS Derek Jeter: Batting .277
Michael Young: batting .332
Miguel Tejada: 25 more RBI, batting .310

Starting 3B A'Rod: Batting .270
Hank Blaylock: .303, more homers, more RBI

Former Yankee Ted Lilly: 7-6 4.27 ERA???
C.C. Sabathia: 5-4???

Yankee Middle reliever Tom Gordon: 2-3???

Obviously, Torre has his favorites.

Only NL player that seemed weird was...
Griffey Jr. was chosen as a starter with a .248???
