   Michael's Blurbs
About me:
I have been covering Major League Baseball since 1997, and in New York City since 2000. I'm a baseball writer at the New York Post, which is the fifth-largest newspaper in the country. I have been recognized nationally in the Chicago and New York markets and have been honored in "Best American Sports Writing" three times. My expertise is often sought after by local and national TV and radio outlets, and my past experience includes appearances on "SportsCenter," "Outside The Lines" and "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." Last season, I covered 130 major-league season games in person, including 70 Yankees games.
Who I'd like to meet:
Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Casey Stengel, Cy Young, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln (and anyone who plunks down $23.95 for the book).

Today is Bestfriend Day. Send this to all of your friends, and me if I am one. If you get 7 back you are LOVED!!! Here are the numbers of what kind of friend you are based on how many you get back..

1-3 ~ you're a bad friend
4-6 ~ you're an okay friend
7-9 ~ you're a good friend
10 ~ you're great friend


If one day you feel like crying... call me. I don't promise that i will make you laugh, but i can cry with you. If one day you want to run away -- don't be afraid to call me. I don't promise to ask you to stop, but i can run with you. If one day you don't want to listen to anyone, call me. I promise to be there for you but I also promise to remain quiet. But one day if you call me and there's no answer.. come fast to see me. Perhaps I need you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend.

Hey Money Man, congrats on the book! I read the Pavano chapter in the Post and it was the first time something about the Yankees other than losing to the Tribe held my attention for longer than 3 seconds. Definitely a good sign!

I'm very interested in reading this book. Especially because I believe the end of last year to be an important turning point for this ballclub.

Mike,
To answer your question, I think the Yankees are closer to their next championship than they've been in a while, but not because this roster is necessarily a champion.
On the surface at least, it looks like the Yankees have recommitted to strengthening their farm system. They're using their considerable resources to build instead of just buying. That might take a little while, but it looks like they're going the right way.
Justin

Can't wait to read the book!
Alena
