If you're a die hard Yankee fan, stop reading now. Back away from the computer and go pop in a DVD of Billy Martin's greatest ejections or count those 26 rings. Today's pinstripe performance is not one for the Yankee Pride scrapbook.It wasn't bad enough that the Yankee team that includes seven all-stars could muster just a single hit against Chad Gaudin and Rich Harden.
It wasn't bad enough that Kei Igawa and Scott Proctor got knocked around like double-wides in a tornado.
It wasn't bad enough that Jeter, A-Rod and Abreu were a combined 0-11 with five strikeouts.
No sir, the Yankees turned up the heat a notch when the game ended. Scott Proctor threw all of his equipment out of the dugout and onto the field. He then proceeded to light it on fire for a little post-game bonfire! Somewhere, there has got to be video of this. Please, I'm begging.

It's time to trade their over paid players and build with youth. Say good bye to 2007.

Proctor acted like a jackass, not like a Yankee. He has personally cost the Yankees about 10 games. Send him back to the minors. All he does is choke up in tight situations. He is one of their biggest failures....and at the end of the season the BOSS needs to make a clean sweep. Torre has lost control of the club and Guidry has failed miserably as a pitching coach. It's time to bring Joe Geradi back and to get an experianced pitching coach....and please, get them in shape for the start of the season. There is too much partying going on in Tampa during the pre-season.

Ah, Yankee fandom at it's finest. Knee-jerking calls for the heads of various personnel, demands for more stars without providing any means for them to be acquired. Proctor isn't the bad guy here. The Yankees need more guys like Proctor. He gets amped up, he's a gamer. Dude threw an insane 100+ innings out of the pen last year, popping sounds in his shoulder be damned. Not his fault the team has no nothing else in the middle of the pen to take the pressure off.
Kudos, Scott. Burn baby burn.

seems to me scott proctor is a scape goat for an over priced bunch of cry babies. the only players on the team that are worth keeping, jeter, posada, cano. go figure they are the only real yankees on the team. im not a yankee fan, but i watch them a lot and it seems everytime i watch, proctor comes in to pitch. so either he is pretty good, or the only pitcher in the bullpen. when a picher throws as often as he does, he will get knocked around. its not his fault he is the only pitcher they can rely on. oh, but clemens is back, all is great in the bronx. just another example of the yankees wasting money...does anyone really think clemens can carry the pitching staff? look at the mets, they are winning with good, young pitchers, and few veterans. do the yankees have a farm system?

Cashman is the worst GM EVER!!!! With UNLIMITED Funds the Yanks should win Every Year. What would Billy Bean in Oakland do with half of the Yanks Money? Win 3 or 4 W. Series in a row. Outside of the Bronx, everyone hates the Skanks, I mean Yanks. LMAO@The Skanks 2007 season. :)

It seems that the baseball magic in New York is now being had by the Mets! The Yankees could sure learn a lot from them--just look at them play! They are not under constant pressure to win like Steinbrenner puts on the Yankees, but the Mets still manage to win and enjoy what they are doing.

it is obvious he was frustrated. I'm thinking he's an inept Pitcher. But ya never know with them Baseball Players. They get into a funk and they gotta git rid of it somehow. So maybe this was his way of accomplishing a change in his pitching...

Sure , Scott Proctor has been used alot , but he still doesn't shine for the Yankees when they really need him . He pitches alot of innings , but that's all he gives the team .
As for Joe Torre , he's a great manager , but has no idea how to fire up his squad . He's to laid back with his players . I also think Don Mattingly , as great as he was for the Yankees in his playing days ,
should be reassigned to another part of the orginazation . He never went to a World Series in his playing days , and the Yanks haven't got to the World Series since he's been in the dugout . Might sound a bit superstitous , But i do believe in Karma , and Mattingly shouldn't be in the dugout .

HEARS MY IDEA , JOE TORRE WAS A GREAT MANAGER. WAS HE NOLONGER FITS THE BILL . HE IS WAY TO RELAXED WITH THE PLAYERS , GOOG BYE JOE YOU GOTTA GO ME OH MY OH . WE STILL HAVE A GREAT TEAM , WE JUST NEED SOME ONE LIKE CASEY STENGAL TO PUT A FIRE IN THERE ASS , NOT THERE UNIFORMS .
THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THE ROCKET , AN HIS WORN OUT BUDDY PETTIT , AN FIND SOME NEW YOUG BLOOD , THESE GUYS ARE LONG DONE. WHY DO YOU THINK HOUSTON DIDN,T PUT UP A BIG FUSS WHEN THEY LEFT . DID THEY WIN A WORLD SERIS IN HOUSTON , I DON,T THINK SO . TO SUM IT UP WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM IT JUST NEEDS SOME SHORING UP

I love it! I love seeing them go down the tubes. Is it true Proctor used Giami's juice to help ignite his equipment?
