Number 27 was sweet, sweeter than those in the dynasty years because it came after hell froze over twice when Boston ---who also worked so hard to convince all of Baseball that the Yankees were the root of all evil, spending, Steroids...and it turned out that Boston spent more than everyone but the Yankees, stockpiled talent just to keep it out of New York, and-- won two steroid tainted titles. I still dont believe that four in a row came with unbiased officiating---just me being me...but I have seen such off things in officials and the Red Sox..and this season in the playoffs the rest of the viewing world saw them too, yet in the end Californina won, then California lost and number 27 was ever so sweet.
Now there was also pain- Damon and Matsui are gone, Damon was the spark for many wins, Matsui was my favorite player because of his clutch ability...in another telling of the season, ARod would be the supporting player to the Matsui and Jeter led season. So many stars on this team, one can take a pick---Matsui should have been kept, that is one they will regret whether they repeat or not, the team is diminshed a bit by the loss of this major talent, and quiet leader. Theyt have done this before...Reggie, Winfield, Mike Lowell, Jose Contreras, El Duque a long and distinguished list.
Now next year has begun, the first topic will the the pitching staff no under redevelopment... four Aces so far, and there is stilll time to do one more...HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
