    I am happy.

    Probably the first time any of you have seen me say that and actually mean it. :)

    And to Marcia Drew, too – all the best!

    [3] From previous thread Q: the media here will go APESHIT over Matsui being MVP! Can’t wait to get the sports tabloids tonight!

    Also a word up to Jim Dean. The BUC was good enough to start in the World Serious. twice. And we won!

    I’m so glad Matsui got to win one. The only one of the Mussina, Giambi, era to get one. And to be MVP. So classy. I hope he comes back on a two year deal.

    Yes, word up to Jim Dean and Marcia Drew for sure! And to us. Here’s raising a glass to all of you who keep coming back.

    [7] [8] Its not relevant to your point, but I understand he’s done a lot of animal-based charity work. =)

    スコーアトラック !!

    thanks alex, and everyone else. this is amazing!! i wish the parade weren’t on friday since i have a test i need to study for on saturday, but i guess i’ll just have to stay up late.

    i can’t believe it’s been exactly 8 years since my worst baseball memory. i’ve been waiting a long time to see mo back on the mound to close out a series for us. i won’t say it was worth the wait, since i would have loved a few more championships, but this sure is gratifying. who would have thought that 8 years later mariano would be maybe even better than he was then??

    [6] Jim Dean was never a big Teixeira fan…always argued against signing him. He was wrong in the regular season. Thanks to Arod, CC, Jeter, Matsui, etc…no one cares about whether he would have been right about the post season! So much for the curse of Mark Teixeira!!



  13. 13. thelarmis
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:53 am

    yes, we LOVE Todd Drew!!!!

    i thought of Marcia Drew today. i wonder if she watched the game from their YS seats!

    [1] in general, i’m a happy person, but i’ve had an incredibly rough few years. tonight, i can honestly say that my heart and i are truly happy. the Yankees mean that much to me.

    this RULES!!!!!!!!! : )

    If Hughes doesn’t think he contributed to this team, he is nuts! I wish he could have had a bigger role in October, but he really helped turn around the bullpen. Don’t forget that Phil!



  15. 15. williamnyy23
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:54 am

    [13] They mean that much to all of us, which is what makes this place unique and most of us bordeline crazy!!!



  16. 16. Bobtaco
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:54 am

    [12] After watching his defense this season, he would have come around.

    I hope he and my grandfather who saw the previous 26, but fell 8 months short of this one are bantering it up tonight ;-)



  17. 17. Shaun P.
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:54 am

    [12] The glove was worth it, though! And I bet that might have won Jim over.

    [10] And thank you Alex for leaving the lights on for us, through it all! Bottoms up!

    November 5th, 2009 at 1:54 am

    [9] thanks for having us, Alex!

    not sure if you saw it at the end of the last thread…but, i hope you’ll come hang out with Ed & me in NYC Turkey Day weekend!!! when we solidify plans, i’m sure he’ll let you know. will be a great hang!!!!



  19. 19. Shaun P.
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:56 am

    [16] Well Bob, by Banter rules, I believe I owe you a rootbeer!

    Gosh this is something. I wish they’d go back to the clubhouse already!!

    November 5th, 2009 at 1:56 am

    And word to muther-effing Brian Cashman, ninja assasin. Cash money, every move you made this year was genius. Marte baby! Swisher! J-Hair!

    Isolated from very many Yankees fans in Durham, NC, you guys are the best bar full of Yankees fans I could ever think of celebrating with!

    This feels so awesome!

    These little town blues…. are melting away….

    [16] whoa, same *exact* situation with my grandpa. next week will be 8 months. i can’t believe it. when my mom told me it was 7 months a few weeks back, i lost my shit. i couldn’t believe. i still don’t believe he’s gone.

    when i go to NY in a few weeks, this will be my first Turkey Day and first birthday w/out him. ain’t gonna be easy…



  23. 23. Bobtaco
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:57 am

    [19] Thanks man! Drinking Michter’s right now, but I’ll take that rootbeer too :-)

    [21] ditto from Atlanta!!!

    i still have a few old college roommates who live in Raleigh…

    November 5th, 2009 at 1:59 am

    [23] Yeah, where’s Cashmoney! I hope he is drenched through to the skin with champaigne! He’s earned it and then some!

    When is the Parade? Friday?



  27. 27. thelarmis
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:59 am

    [15] i know. this place RULES and so do all of you!!!



  28. 28. thelarmis
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:59 am

    [26] yeah, that’s what they said.



  29. 29. Bobtaco
    November 5th, 2009 at 1:59 am

    [22] I know exactly what he would be saying tonight. I miss him so much. He was 12 years old for the first WS win. He predicted they’d win it this year. Thelarmis, I hope they are enjoying it tonight with the other ghosts ;-)

    I love how every player is lauding the orgainzation for putting this team together (i.e., spending the money). Let the haters wring their hands…I celebrate the Yankees passion to win and love it that the players do too.



  31. 31. thelarmis
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:00 am

    well, i did call Yanks in 6 for the LCS & WS!!! : )

    Ok, now that the deal is sealed and I see Mo doused in champagne, I can tell you all that I had a dream last night that we won.

    The focal point of the dream was Mariano flashing that gorgeous smile, mobbed by his teammates between the mound and the plate.



  33. 33. 51cq24
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:02 am

    is mariano the most likable athlete of all time??



  34. 34. williamnyy23
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:02 am

    [33] No….I LOVE him.



  35. 35. Shaun P.
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:03 am

    [32] Living the dream, weeping – we’re all living it now!

    Five more years Mo – and then another five please!

    November 5th, 2009 at 2:03 am

    [29] : )

    [33] [34] Woe to any Hall of Fame voter who does not vote for him on the first ballot!

    God bless that man – God bless him.

    November 5th, 2009 at 2:04 am

    my mom is gonna save ALL the WS newspaper stuff in NY for me. i can’t wait to consume it all at Thanksgiving. hell, i might use it as a blanket! ; )



  39. 39. 51cq24
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:04 am

    well it’s tough for anyone to follow mo, but randy levine? seriously??



  40. 40. thelarmis
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:05 am

    [25] yeah, where IS Ca$h?!?!

    Tex Rox. i hope he gets more rings with us!!!

    i only get to see whatever ESPN is showing. that’s it…

    Fabulous feeling here in Cooperstown, too!

    I’ve been around since ‘65, so this is the seventh world championship of my lifetime. It is as satisfying as any of them. Perhaps not as thrilling as either ‘77 or ‘96, but every bit as satisfying!

    Have a great night, everyone! I don’t drink, so have one for me.



  43. 43. williamnyy23
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:06 am

    Having to play two game sixes probably added $10-15mn to the Yankees’ coffers. I wonder what they plan to do with that!??!



  44. 44. Bobtaco
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:06 am

    [40] He’s signing Aroldis Chapman right now ;-)



  45. 45. williamnyy23
    November 5th, 2009 at 2:08 am

    [44] Hmmmm….sounds like a good use for [43].



  46. 46. Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO

    [43] see [44] :)

    Derek Jeter his .407 in this World Series!!!!! That such an accomplishment goes unnoticed is exactly why Derek Jeter is as great as he is.

    Alex, thanks to you and Cliff and Bruce and Diane and Will and Emma for all that y’all do to make the Banter the best Yankees home on the internetS.

    Cheers! The Yanks are champs. The “Papi jersey” curse was broken inside a year.

    whoa – nomaas has a completely new design. me no likey. then again, i’m just not very good with change. i’m sure i’ll get used to it, at some point…

    [48] John Henry’s TCOMT didn’t even last a season either!
