Best kept PS secret? Alex and Cliff.... The first blog I visited regularly was 'Cliffords Big Red Blog'. Shortly after I found the Banter. After 5 or 6 months, Cliff joined the Banter and sealed the deal for me. What year was that? I know I shared, and was supported through many bad moments. In 2001, I was in tears of frustration. In 2004, I was just numb with disbelief. It's really, REALLY nice to finally celebrate THIS moment here at the Banter, with all the Banterers (Banterees?). Thanks guys. The Banter has been a big part of my life. I can't imagine following the Yankees without it.

Or at least I think that was the last post - who knows if its been added on to? But we don't cross 2000 much - this is a good night for it!

Thanks to Alex & the whole staff but most especially to the banterers. You guys are the best, an intimidating bunch that Ive adored & looked up to & admired for their wit, love & devotion to the Yankees. I can never go toe-to-toe with the discussions here but I follow every banter/cheer/curse/criticism/stats/etc you guys do tirelessly everyday. You're one hell of a unit here. I hope to be counted among the Yankee faithful blessed to have another WS Championship (my first as a fan!). What a feeling. And I just wanna say what Ive always wanted to say since Gm 1, Chase Utley, you can kiss my ass :P Ive only been a fan since 03, & been following this blog since, most everyday.

This is the fifth world championship for the Jeter-Posada-Pettitte-Rivera era Yankees and the seventh of my lifetime. (My first was in '77, when Reggie tore up the Dodgers.) This one is as satisfying as any of them, given the frustration of the last eight seasons, the near-misses along the way, the collapse of five years ago. This title caps it off nicely for me, both in terms of this era of Yankee players and my own years as a fan. Enjoy the night, everyone. Checking in late here, but better late than never.

I believe the Yankees had reached that milestone 4 times, but had never won the World Series doing it. The jinx of 103 wins is also over!
