The Yankees Fall to Cleveland

I am sure that there are a lot of 1762ers who are sad to see their team exit from the post-season. How could this happen? The team with a $200 million-plus payroll has fallen to some upstarts from Cleveland. If you read any of the NY papers today, columnists are referring to the loss as the end of an old dynasty.

Can this be true? Will the Yankees need time to rebuild and regroup? Is Joe Torre really to blame? Apparently George Steinbrenner thinks so!

I did hear from a Cleveland fan late last night, after the last of the fans left the hallowed Yankee Stadium for the last time this year. The fan I refer to worked at 1762 for awhile. He was a bartender from Australia. Of course I am referring to Croc. And BTW, he says hello to his friends, and to the Yankee fans he says,

"F~@K YOU!!!"

Lets hear from you Yankee fans. What do you think was the problem? Where was A-Rod's bat? Can we blame the bugs for the loss in Game 2? What needs to be done for next season? Should Joe Torre lose his job? And what about Croc? How does his comment make you feel?

Let the flaming begin!
