I liked Girardi's quote about the Yanks needing some more "dirt bags" on the team.

See years 82-94 and how he shipped off people from the farm system to get big names and it never worked out. He would get aging players like Danny Tartabull and Steve Balboni or pitchers like the Perez brothers(Pascual and Melido) while trading away pitching and people like Jay Buhner. The similarities are there between that span and what we are beginning to see again. After NY lost to LA in the 81 series Georgie hit the panic button and depleted the farm system. The same has happened again. The only difference is that the Yanks were able to still make the playoffs in the years since 01. Now the drop off may not be as bad as the 82-94 years but I honestly do not see a WS until some homegrown talent is developed.

Kodak you hit the nail right on the head. To tell you the truth I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. That's when you see who the real Yankee Fans are. Thank you for reminding me of the Steve Balboni, Danny Tartibull, Steve Sax, Steve Howe days...
