let's pause to remember the classic Yankee postseasons of yesteryear:

LOVED your classy letter to the Times last Sunday (and what do you know, you had an identical one published in the Post! You're a Renaissance man). Fans like you are what the Greatest Franchise in the Hisory of Professional Sports (TM, YESNetwork) are all about.
Best of luck to the Yanks in the ALCS. I sure hope Captain Clutch doesn't hit into any more DPs. Is Clemens starting Game 2?

Especially considering that they're throwing away 7-10 wins by letting ARod walk, which will probably be the difference between 1st and 3rd place in the AL East next year. It's not like there are tons of quality free agents on the market this year.

Former Cincinnati Reds player Pete Rose spoke with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia and told a wild story about a trip he took to Vietnam in 1967 with baseball legend Joe DiMaggio.
Rose explained that when they were in the middle of the jungle, DiMaggio said he needed to take a shower.
"And the only way you can take a shower, Mike, is they have these big bamboo bags, like, and somebody's got to get on a chair and pour the water and pull a rawhide thing and the water comes through and the guy takes a shower," Rose said. "So I saw everything that Marilyn Monroe saw."
Rose went on to say that the best way to describe the former Yankee is that "he was a penis with a man hanging from it."

i really wonder how the yanks will look in 2-3 seasons. a-rod looks almost finished. jeter had a solid '12 but it wasn't exactly great or even very good, just "good". tex is less giambi and more adam laroche now. granderson has a lot of holes in his game. swish, who knows? are they keeping ichiro? beyond sabathia (who knows how he'll look in a couple years w/his mileage and body type), the staff is iffy. these are all questions pondered before the last several years too but they looked and played like the worst playoff team in a very long time.
― omar little, Friday, 19 October 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link
all the talk of a-rod being moved seems like hysterical NY media. Like, find me .280/20/100 (healthy caveats) or .260/15/100 @ 3rd base on the open market. yes, he is overpaid but that ship has sailed and you're not going to be able to move him unless you take back 3 heath bells, nevermind one.
jeter: the broken ankle thing will probably push him into sub-sub-replacement territory. it wouldn't shock me to see him hang it up next year if he goes off a cliff.
tex was a bad idea at the time and it looks even worse now. not sure what you do about it except take problem children back and hope for the best. I would think that he would be a more attractive trade target for a team than A-rod. i have no prospective targets to back that up. maybe chicago cubs?
a lot of talk about letting grandy go, but I could also see him replacing swish in RF and gardiner (lolhealthy?) in center. this is price-is-right stuff. Find me 40 HR on the open market etc.
I could see ichiro coming back on a make-good/stopgap contract until someone shakes loose in the minors a la eric chavez.
swish wants werth money lol
i would take kuroda back on a 2 yr contract w/ modest raise if he wanted it. everyone else besides he and CC can burn.
