OK, I really haven't done very well in keeping up-to-date with my blog. I must try harder.

For now, let's just say that I'm relieved that the Yankees have made the post season. It didn't look possible earlier in the year, and I was contemplating a season when the Yankees didn't make it to October for the first time in 14 years. Thankfully A-Rod led from the front, with help from Posada and Wang, and now we are facing the Cleveland Indians in the ALDS playoffs. I think we'll win in 4.

I hope that A-Rod, Posada, Rivera and Pettite all sign up for another season, but I'll be happy to wave goodbye to Mussina. He was a good player for the Yankees earlier in his stay in New York, but the time has come to say goodbye. I don't really want to trade for Santana either. We've got some good pitching propects next year, with Chamberlin, Hughes, Kennedy and Anderson all looking solid, along with Pettite and Wang. If Clemens wants one more year, I'd deal, although on reduced terms. Personally, I think it would be great if we could win the World Series this year. I'm sure the Rocket would retire on that high, especially if he was the winning pitcher in the game that clinched the title.

Anyway, that's all to come. We've got to get past the Indians first. Roll on tonight!
