Quick Bits: Q&A, Matsui, Damon, Mauer, Swisher
February 1, 2010, 7:51 pm by iYankees · 2 Comments
Here are a few quick items on the evening:
- The guys over at Pinstripe Alley have a nice Q&A out with FanHouse’s own, Frankie Piliere.
- Brian Cashman on Hideki Matsui: “Hideki Matsui will be one of the best deals I ever made.”
- Joe at River Ave Blues takes a look at whether or not Johnny Damon could still return to NY.
- Earlier today, we heard that Joe Mauer had reached a preliminary extension with the Twins.
- However, to the dismay of Minnesota, that report has since been shot down by Buster Olney.
- Nick Swisher will be appearing as himself tonight on the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.”
The show is on at 8 pm, on CBS, so be sure to check that out.

I have a friend in Japan that said Cashman got “tea-bagged” in the press as phony and hypocritical. They are still smarting over the perceived slight that Matsui wasn’t even contacted to talk about a contract. ( I don’t know if that is true or not)
I find the off-season very sad.

Japanese people hated Yankee because of the way Yankee treated Matsui!! There were several ways to do things but they chose the worst one in Asian eyes!!
