Dumb reply. Dumb concept. If you ask any media member male or women if they think that you should hire a certain person without getting personal than anyone that didn't get the interview they wanted one day could just say no I hate him. The media loves to tear down people. Why didn't they have this story through 3 jobs?
And asking media to approve a hire in general is a really bad idea.
100% agree with this, and in fact, we've seen what the media can dictate on a national scale and it ain't pretty!!! They can make or break you, facts be damned.
And before people say this is false talk to them about Schiano aborted hire at Tennessee. One single media guy brought that on. Because of that im glad he is back at Rutgers. But it just takes one person in media to tell lies and bury someone.
OK. Thanks for the scintillating enlightenment. As dumb as it may seem, welcome to the world we live in. He will lose his job if the allegations are proven to be true. This does not appear to be a group of women with an unsubstantiated vendetta.
Presumably maintaining the status quo is not going to help organizations who want to try and preclude hiring personnel with these types of issues.
Of course he will be out of a job. He already was suspended but what has that have to do with the hiring process I was talking about??
There was no one coming forward when he was employed at 3 seperate jobs. There was no stories or whispers at the time.
And the Mets addressed Porter and have addressed Mickey.
I thought it was addressed by MLB and Yankees and fans hope for a great return. But I may be wrong...and missed something
Not good enough for him as he's bored out of his mind with his thread, lol. Bring on spring training as I'm so excited about the coming season! LGM
I actually agree with this guy. If you think these are isolated incidents you're naive.

Yankees’ Michael Kay: Mickey Callaway, others preyed on female reporters | ‘Marriages, careers will be ruined!’
New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay reacted to news of sexual misconduct allegations against former New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway.
Lol, I had to look up fungible, but yea, so far easily replaceable.I actually agree with this guy. If you think these are isolated incidents you're naive.

Especially when you consider that to a large degree whether you are talking about well paid execs, coaches/managers, star athletes, former star athletes, or people in entertainment in general that they are often time accustomed to having easy access to willful women. Given that its not a big leap for them think that any attractive woman is easy prey. Or in their mind should be.
No. It means there's no incentive for a team to spend to go from 90 wins to 100 wins. Baseball playoffs are random. The best team doesn't win with anywhere near the frequency of other sports.
Expanded playoffs means a 95 win team never plays a game that matters from April through September. It would ultimately kill interest in the sport.

C James McCann #10
1B Pete Alonso #7

Yankees went
SP- 2
C- NR
1B- 3
2B- 1
3B- 9
SS - NR
LF- 9
CF- NR
RF- 4(when he plays)
RP- 7
So the Yanks have 3 NR and their 6 that are ranked average 5.8
Met’s have 2 NR and their 7 ranked average 6
and somehow they are heavy favorites and according to the Amigos- we still suck
Both Yankees and Mets results are very impressive.
In fairness to the Yanks, the only reason their SS isn't ranked is that he shouldn't be playing SS. He should be playing 2B but can't, since they have the #1 2B already. The shortstop position is absolutely loaded in MLB this year.
What these Top Ten rankings do not measure is pitching depth. I like the Mets pitching depth better, but we shall see.
That said, I'm not all that interested in Mets-Yankees comparisons. The much more relevant benchmark is the Braves, Nats, and Phillies.

This is true about more concerned about NL East. But do have to comment about Torres...while he should be a 2B, he also had a piss poor year. Worst than JD Davis at 3B for the Mets. Plus, Chapman got his grade on a good 2019 while Diaz was graded harshly for 2019!and not for a very good 2020.
but both teams are very solid. Also agree, Mets have a better rotation(or at least less question marks)
Braves look to have 5 NR and will be 6 if Ozuna signs elsewhere
Phil’s 6 NR
Nats 6 NR
Dodgers 2 NR and 3 if Turner signs elsewhere
But- their ranked players are very solid
Unless there is a late, dramatic change there is no reason for a Mets Yankees comparison. Last year was the year for that. A Mets Braves comparison I'd like to see. The more I watched that team the more impressed I was. Freddie Freeman is a much watch player.
Braves went
SP- NR
C- 8
1B- 1
2B- 10
3B- NR
SS - NR
LF- 4 if Ozuna signs with them NR if he goes elsewhere
CF- NR
RF- 3
RP- NR
If Ozuna resigns- they have 5 NR and their avg rank of ranked players is 5.5
If Ozuna does not sign with them they have 6 NR and their avg of ranked players is 5,5
Overall- not that impressive. But...they do have depth and they play baseball smart
He's gonna sign with the Amazins.
Their final move in an effort to buy their way into being a contender.
They bought a catcher for about the price they were already paying one and a Middle relief pitcher. Are they allowed to go out an get a FA or do we have to let the Yankees always do that?
What else did they buy? Please educate me. 1B/2B/LF/CF/RF all home grown. 3B under control and not a big pickup when they got him. number 2 starter is from a trade and he signed a qualifying offer and Lindor is from a trade.
Share your great knowledge to backup your statement or go enjoy you top paid LF who doesnt stay on the field or the top paid SP you bought last year.
Precious a Yankee fan complaining about another team spending money on free agents.
Was it kbee or a different amigo that was all concerned on us having Reyes on the team and now can't wait for German to be back on the Yankees?
I do know that kbee was very stressed about the ease of our schedule- which happens to be the toughest division in MLB. Sort of like a ACC fan trying to talk shat about a 9 game B1G schedule...
Who did the Yankees trade for Gerritt Cole? I forget. Please remind me
Then you should be pissed off that Garrett Cole is a Yankee
If he’s pissed off that the Mets are signing free agents, then he should be pissed off that his yanks did it first. DUH!!!
The only big free agent the Yankees signed this year was DJ. Cole was signed last year. And Cole is a much better pitcher!! Bauer isn't in the same planet.
I actually think the Mets shouldn't have signed Bauer since hes overrated and the Mets are going to regret this one way or another. But dont have a fit when someone else is doing something the Yankees have done for years.
