Mattingly: 'I'm 100 percent ready'
Despite just two games of managerial experience at any level, Don Mattingly insists he is prepared to skipper the Yankees. "I'm 100 percent ready in my mind to do it," he said yesterday on a conference call with media. Mattingly revealed that he came out of retirement four years ago to become hitting coach with the specific intent of managing. "I wouldn't have come back just to do the hitting," he said. "I knew it's what I wanted to do."

He probably has to say it... If he is back as the lead man for the job, he better not leave any doubt, especially with the ny media

not only that, but he probably didn't want to say that he was ready or that he wanted the job in case they brought Torre back.

If the Yankees pick this guy, they're headed in one sure direction.

he might not have the experinece as Girardi, but he's one the most respected guys in the game. You think Torre held the team all together on his own...it's a collective effort from all the other coaches, he just gets final decsion.
good luck donnie baseballs

That is just divine.
Did you do some "doodoo?"
What a naughty boy.
I suppose it's wise not to tax the imagination too heavily.

Every morning, Don Mattingly gets up out of the wrong side of his bed full of hats, tripping over the open umbrella into a broken mirror, and waits for the herd of black cats to finish crossing before he walks under the ladder over his front door.

Mattingly was not jinxed, he had a bad back and a surrounding cast of characters that couldn't get it done. his only playoff series in 95 he hit .475. He changed his swing from HR power to doubles power in order to play a whole or more of a season. I do not see how a guy who gave so much to the team could be called jinxed.

He might be ready but how is he going to handle the media pressure if the Yanks get off to another slow April start?

Great pic. "Aw shucks, I love you, boys!" That or he is getting ready to fire a force bolt at the cameraman. No wait, he isn't Dr. Doom...my bad.

I love Mattingly as a Yankee player legend, but Yankee fans like me are going to be wishing for Torre back. Bet that.

The Truth the joke could have been funnier if you said Lehman College for they are actually the CUNY school in the Bronx.
You gotta be a native to know that, though.

Nice pic indeed. Hal and Hank think they can put a pretty face for fans since they are so ___ looking. Cashman is too smart and trying to convince seasoned coaches to help Donnie out to save his behind.
