I welcome all of you to include me in your blog rolls and/or to disseminate the site's address. <BR/><BR/>I doubt fan's opinions have any direct influence on the Yankee hierarchy, but the little Steinbrenners, it appears, fear public opprobrium much more than their father ever did. <BR/><BR/>I'll try to post once a week during the next month or so as the Yankees' off-season drama unfolds.<BR/><BR/>Look for my next two posts in the forthcoming weeks. I plan one titled "Scapegoating Torre: Why the Yankees Didn't Lose" followed by another the following week titled "Pitching, Pitching, Pitching: Why the Yankees Did Lose."Matthew S Schweberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897173081304659811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652065694858091521.post-30423082417643943502007-10-12T21:32:00.000-07:002007-10-12T21:32:00.000-07:00I came across your blog from PeteAbe's as well.

I have lived through all you have talked about being a Yankee fan since the 70's. I do think Torre will come back for another year or two, I also think Gene Michael will set George straight. Looking forward to your next post.Danny Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799959728329390423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652065694858091521.post-31185433828388033202007-10-12T20:32:00.000-07:002007-10-12T20:32:00.000-07:00Matthew - if I hadn't seen the link that was put u...Matthew - if I hadn't seen the link that was put up at Pete Abe's Lohud Blog, I would have never gotten the chance to read such a wonderful piece of writing. It was a tremendous read - especially for one who knows all too well what you are talking about. I started following the Yanks as a kid in Jersey during the early 70's, enjoyed the success of 77/78, endured the horrible 80's, and then rejoiced when the organization turned around and was reborn in the 90's. <BR/><BR/>Your blog has been added to my must-read list and will be linked to from my own site. Thanks again for the excellent synopsis.Wolf In Pinstripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762954223971383253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652065694858091521.post-5625490836096936752007-10-12T20:20:00.000-07:002007-10-12T20:20:00.000-07:00That was a brilliant post.I'm too young to have kn...That was a brilliant post.<BR/><BR/>I'm too young to have known a manager other than Joe Torre, having only started following the Yankees at 10, in 1996, but I love history and I'm well aware that the Torre era is one of the best in Yankees history.<BR/><BR/>Just wish that so many others of my generation could see it the same way...Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08099918567255772685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652065694858091521.post-9961415433919506882007-10-12T11:32:00.000-07:002007-10-12T11:32:00.000-07:00Thanks Milton.
