This is sixth season I’ve covered the Yankees here at Bronx Banter and the first time they’ve missed the playoffs, which only goes to underscore just how fortunate we’ve been.  However, just cause our boys won’t be playing ball in October, doesn’t mean that we’re going anywhere.  Like Earl Weaver once said, "This ain’t football, we do this everyday."  That goes for the post-season as well.  So you’ll be getting more from the gang–Cliff, Bruce, Emma and Will–throughout the cold winter months.

I do want to take a moment out to thank everyone who rolls through here on a regular or semi-regular basis.  Thanks for coming back.  We sure appreciate it.
