    Nah, pitching to Golson, who should be officially retired sometime during 2012.

Happy Birthday C.C. !
Too bad your teammates can’t provide any run support.

“…it’s kinda ridiculous that a guy can’t announce his retirement without questions about a possible comeback these days.”
Thank you Brett Favre!

It was also ridiculous when AP would wait and make Cashman show him some love and say “pretty please” before deciding.

I was hoping to see a matching “Yankees ask Posada to consider retirement” headline, but I guess not…
Saw a stat that Martin is batting .185 since 4/23.
Between these two black holes in the line-up, the reason we’re not seeing Montero catching 2 starters and DHing the rest of games is..?

  The Yanks want to trade him before he’s exposed as a shit player on the MLB level (which would match his attitude).

Has Pettitte “officially” retired, meaning filing the necessary paperwork and notifying the proper MLB authorities. I ask, since Bernie hasn’t officially retired himself.

  Who cares?

  Officially retiring makes you eligible to collect a pension when you turn 62. That’s the *only* meaning it has. It’s only required to satisfy IRS regulations on pensions.

      I don’t think you need to file paperwork to be Hall eligible. You just need five years since the last time you took the field.
