Message: [QUOTE="Noexcuse, post: 3929942, member: 18"] The thing with the Yankees is that because of their rich history you can always go back and draw a parallel to another season. I know a lot of people are starting to say this is 1978 redux but I was thinking it's more like 1964. High expectations to start the season then injuries and the team underperforming right through July. Manager being criticized for making the wrong moves and players not responding. Yankees call up Stottlemyre to bolster the rotation in July and he goes 9 and 3 down the stretch. Phil Linz plays the harmonica after a loss and Yogi goes ballistic. Team suddenly comes together and they go on to win the pennant. So maybe it's Deja Vu all over again. We get Gil coming up to bolster the rotation, and the team seems to be responding to Boone. Not sure who the harmonica player analogy would be but I'm thinking it could be Odor . . . he seems like the wise guy type that every team needs for comic relief. [/QUOTE]
