The door is closed on another Yankee season.
We are venting. We are re-hashing. We are assessing. We are hoping.
Our way of hanging on.
Mostly done now. The ink runs dry.
The gladiators have sheathed their swords, the horses' saddles have been removed and stowed, the armor is back in the closet, and the riverboat is blowing its horn.
The feelings are growing familiar. And we are getting tired.
Time to take a pause. Breathe in and out. Focus on the stars. Get away somewhere.
Climb on board and have a drink.
Lean on the railing, listen to the paddle wheels churn, and watch the scenery pass-by as the river opens to the delta. And we move on.
There is a chill in the air.
Thanks for the ride, mates.
See you soon, I hope.
Always, Phonso, will always be here.

ReplyDeleteThe results prove it: Everyone here was right and the Yankees front office was wrong.
No one in the front office heard our near blog-wide consensus which most often presented as follows:
"Dumkopfs! Get More Fucking Pitching!
.
.
.
Is anyone there? Anyone?
.
.
.
Okay, how about get some -- just SOME -- fucking pitching?

Hello?

...Is thing on?

Well, if anyone IS there, please fire Boone."
I'll be subscribing to the "Climb on board and have a drink" plan.
Thanks to Alphonso and everyone else for a season's worth of enjoyable commentary.
