Agreed.The biggest mistake made by Minaya was staying with Delgado after the good season he had last year.He was aging and could have been traded and we could have maybe gotten Texeira.When you guys got him, I knew you were going to the World Series.Also, Minaya gave a big three year contract to Luis Castillo, another aging wreck.Remember how he choked on that simple fly ball in that Yankee game in June.But that's why the Yanks won.They had smart general management with Cashman.Also, the young Steinbrenner was smart to go all out for A Rod.He's the man who produces all year. Anyhoo, I, as a Met Fan, realize we only get to a World Series every 15 years or so.It's been that way since I've been rooting since 1962. One thing you'll never experience as a Yankee Fan, though, is the feeling we got in 1969.You guys are always expecting excellence and generally get it, but winning that series in '69 after all the crap years from '62-'68 was absolutely "Amazin'". Congrats to you and your team and enjoy the parade tomorrow.Good for New York, it needs a boost after a tough economic year! |
