Comments on: That might be it for the Moose http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/28/that-might-be-it-for-the-moose/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:04:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Travis Bickle http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/28/that-might-be-it-for-the-moose/comment-page-2/#comment-552562 Travis Bickle Mon, 29 Sep 2008 04:38:25 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/28/that-might-be-it-for-the-moose/#comment-552562 Why does this site allow 8 year olds to post? Should not "Nathan" get a glass of milk and go nite nite. I suggest like all annoying children, we should ignore him and he might stop. Moose was the better pitcher the year Clemons won the Cy Young. He just didn`t benefit from as good of run support. And the relief role in the 2003 7th game of the ALCS saved the season. He has been a value of a pickup in this era. And if he`s done: Thanks for a job well done. Why does this site allow 8 year olds to post?

Do you realize he may be the last 300 game winner we see? No one is even close. By the way Pete, did you hear the BOSS is going to play halftime at the SuperBowl 2009? Moose has to come back.

The song they used in the background was Sarah MacLachlan's <i>I Will Rememeber You</i>? First of all I was crying my eyes out after the Yankees won. Then to watch that video montage, I was really sobbing my heart out. I'll never forget that montage. One of the most beautiful editing jobs I have ever seen. Of course the song alone was enough to put you over the edge. Does anyone remember the montage that YES put together after the last game of the 1998 World Series?

His postgame interview with Kim suggested to me that he would ride the golden stallion into the sunset and revel in retirement.

G, Booby and the Idle are gone per MK with either Moose or Andy (but not both) returning on a one year deal only. What is somewhat cryptic was the definitive statement, not couched in terms of his opinion, equivocation,and the like. From a source in the know? We shall see!!!!

So far this week you have whined incessantly about Girardi, mentioning it in nearly every thread on Thursday and Friday, basically voiced ur sentiments that Cashman should leave, and declared Moose got fries and a coke so he is retiring. Sterling work. Yes, his shoulder is so ruined and Girardi was lying about something so grim, Mariano got the save today.

Then we got him here, and I feared he might not hold up in the bright New York lights, but no fear, he did as well as his body allowed. His games are often a pleasure to watch. He's like the Fabrice Santoro of pitchers. His comeback from '07 has been great, and I hope he decides to wow us again next year. If not, well, I'm sure he'll do great things in his days beyond baseball. I used to dread our facing Moose when he was with Baltimore because he was so darn smart and unpredictable.
