giradi is my pick

It's Mattingly for sure!

Will Tony Pena stay with Yankee organization and work for Donnie? Bowa's almost gone already.

Don't count Girardi out, and, hopefully, Pena stays. He should be made into the bench coach. His influence with Posada and the young Spanish speaking players, in my opinion, is hard to find, forget about replacing him if he leaves.

Girardi's chances are headed in one direction.

I would hope Pena stays in some form; Melky, Robbie and a few others around the clubhouse love him. Everyone seems to think Don 'black cat under a ladder' Mattingly is a shoe-in, but I'm holding hope for Girardi.

That is a fleeting hope, as slim and flimsy as a tissue.

Pick a manager soon? What a farce. Yanks have been ready to annoint Mattingly manager since April. The only reason interviews are going on is because the league has rules governing the number of candidates and minorities interviewed. The probably already have Mattingly's #23 jersey ready for next year but just in case he fails they interview Girardi to keep him happy with Yankee brass and up in the broadcast booth so if a switch needs to be made they can insert him. Pena is a great baseball guy but he has to know that the only reason he is getting an interview is because he is a minority.

I hope it is Mattingly. Then the player that can never be booed will be hated by all Yankee fans for doing a terrible job at managing.

I think it is going to be Mattingly, but honestly all three are good choices in their own way.

If they are choosing a manager so soon than it is obviously Mattingly.

Cashman looks like the guy from the OFFICE

Don Zimmer. Don Zimmer. Don Zimmer.

Zim would be a great choice.... too bad the Boss hates him.

Yawn, who gives a rat's a*s

Part of me wishes the Yankees come out of left field with a completely random choice for manager. Won't happen but it'd be nuts if at the press conference they pulled a swerve on the media like that.

Pena??? I know he had one solid year with the Royals and then it was a mess. Joe is the choice and then Donny.

Pena is too highstrung to be an effective long term manager

You can lead a camel to water, but one cannot make her expel her fecal matter voluntarily....wisdom to follow my friends
