Yankees Pondering Offseason Moves
After missing the pennant by one game, the Yankees have some difficult decisions to make before spring training. Here are some of the most crucial issues facing the team:

* Refunding the season tickets Mitch from Staten Island purchased, as per his demand on Yankees fan site message board
* Firing that complete failure Joe Girardi, that's for sure
* Building a new Yankee Stadium
* Opting whether to re-sign Derek Jeter or hire more stadium security
* Doing some things that result in winning the World Series instead of not doing that
* Deciding if they should sign pinstripes to contract extension
* Spending weeks of sleepless nights tortured over Posada and Rivera situations, then buying an anti-aging solution from a late-night infomercial
* Making a trip to the bank to convert cash into talented human beings like they always do

2. Onion or not, they could dump Jeter and hire a SS who's done something recently.
Maybe Edgar Renteria, perhaps?

3. The Yanks are just one of many teams that would be better off it they could fire their owners

Hank Steinbrenner is a chip off the old block. Stupid, arrogant, believes in winning at all costs and thinks way too highly of himself.

4. Hank is irrelevant
Hal is the one in charge of the ownership and he's nothing like Hank. But carry on.
