images 1 The LoHud Yankees BlogJoe Girardi put the number on his back when he arrived two years ago, and the Yankees have made the dream come true tonight.

The Yankees beat the Phillies, 7-3, in Game 6 to win their 27th World Series championship. Congratulations to the Yankees and to all of you who have been living and dying right along with them.

Back with much, much, much more from the clubhouse as soon as we can.

    My favorite celebration moment was seeing Matsui screaming. He’s changed a lot in his time in NY. If he leaves, he’ll be missed.

    This is so awesome! I am just in awe! WHO IS GOING TO THE PARADE?

  38. Allison November 4th, 2009 at 11:58 pm

    Do you know I was sitting next to HeyDicky Matsui at a Giant’s game and two 10 year old boys came up and quietly asked him for his autograph. He looked down at them and said, “No” and looked away. When Ass-Rod moved to the city he stayed in a hotel. He walked around with a major league chip on his shoulder and was so cheap he didn’t tip anyone. Johnny Damon, well, look what he did while his wife was giving birth. These are the people you are cheering for. It’s really sad.

  39. Yanks_Fan November 4th, 2009 at 11:58 pm

    I LOVE NEW YORK AND THE YANKEES!

    Allison,

    Jealous much?

  58. antisocial scrooge November 5th, 2009 at 12:00 am

    I’m going to the parade.

  59. PittsburghYankeeFan November 5th, 2009 at 12:00 am

    Great pitching is the key to championships. Said it in 03, said it in 04, said it in 05, said it in 06, said it in 07, said it in 08.

    And here it is.

    Had they not let Pettitte walk after 03, this would have been 29 or 30.

    This is what happens when Andy Pettitte, not Jon Lieber, or Kevin Brown, is pitching a clincher at Yankee Stadium.

    It took 8 years for the Yankees to realize it.

    Thank our lucky stars as Yankee fans, and God help the rest of baseball.

  60. Joe from Long Island November 5th, 2009 at 12:00 am

    Did Joe get pie?

  61. JasonR November 5th, 2009 at 12:00 am

    Well phillies you better buy some steroids boys lol

  68. Betsy November 5th, 2009 at 12:01 am

    This team had a great feeling about it all year, but it’s soooooooo hard to get to the WS and I think I only really now appreciated just how hard it is. What a special year. Some guys sought and found redemption, some sought to recapture past glory and some guys got paroled from baseball he*** (Hairston and Hinske)…………Either way, it all ended in the happiest, most satisfying way possible.

  69. tampayank November 5th, 2009 at 12:01 am

    Congrats to the Yanks and all it’s great fans!!! It’s bitter sweet to watch this team from the first practice in February till October glory!!!#27!!!!

    Congratulations you guys!

    I tip my hat to the Yankee team and all their fans. You had an outstanding season.

    ————————————————————

    Many thanks, Ray. You’re always a class act.

    You know, it’s still not too late to be a part of the evil Empire. You’d be most welcome.

    Of course, you realize that joining up with the Empire this late, you wouldn’t get the big, diamond encrusted Championship ring that the rest of us get, but, you will get a smaller version.

  88. Trevor November 5th, 2009 at 12:03 am

    Ugh Lonn Trost and the rest of the mafia.

    I have been bawling since about the 6th inning! I can hardly see now!!!!!!!!

    One of my loveliest moments was when Mo got his last out and my phone rang, and it was one of my brothers (all Red Sox fans in my family) calling to say congratulations. I was crying so hard I could hardly speak.

    IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOVE THIS TEAM ANY MORE!!!!!

  98. Nick in SF in Larkspur November 5th, 2009 at 12:04 am

    Yanks are once again team of the decade (00s). Only they and the Sox won 2, but the Yanks went to 2 other series and made the post season every year except once.

  152. franmerrf November 5th, 2009 at 12:08 am

    Congratulations Matsui!

  153. Betsy November 5th, 2009 at 12:08 am

  154. haiku-man November 5th, 2009 at 12:09 am

    Cool and the Gang said it best.

    There’s a party goin on right here,

    A Celebration to last throughout the years.

    So bring your good times,and your laughter too,

    We’re gonna Celebrate your party with you.

    Come on now….C E L E B R A T I O N!

    Big mistake not using Lee in game 4,Manuel,huge!!

    Yankees conquered the Sox,the Angels and beat the reining WS champions with a 3 pitcher rotation.

    Big game Andy came through for the Yankees.

    Coolstandings.com was 100% correct all postseason,they said Yankees in 6,by the way.

    Joe is off the hook excited!1

    The Sayonara kid,Matsui leaves the Yankees with the WS MVP,and a Championship ring.

  155. Todd November 5th, 2009 at 12:09 am

    Matsui could probably teach English by now…what a faker :)

    “It’s only fitting to ring in the new Palace just like they did The Grand Old Lady across the street.”

    GB7,

    The parallels are just amazing. It is just wonderful that they won again in their first year of the stadium.

    Matsui being named the MVP is a remarkable emblem of how much the game and the world has changed since then.

  162. Joe from Long Island November 5th, 2009 at 12:09 am

    Congrats All! Love this blog, love this team!

  207. CB November 5th, 2009 at 12:15 am

    One of the great parts of this season has been the way it puts to rest so many of the ridiculous story lines that have been pasted onto this team and this group of players since the last world chamionship.

    - The yankees can only win in the regular season.

    - The yankees as a team can’t beat the Red Sox.

    - The yankees can’t beat the Angels.

    - The yankees aren’t “clutch”

    - Alex is “unclutch” and will never be a “winner”… (otherwise known as the team was better off with Scott Brosius.)

    - CC isn’t a big game pitcher.

    - One of my personal favorites from the start of the season: No team has ever won a world series with a 35 year old short stop ergo the yankees can’t win with Jeter.

    - The yankees buy all of their players and can’t internally develop talent

    - They yankees can’t identify or sign pitching talent

    The list just goes on and on.

    What a magical season.

  208. JoeT 28 in 10!! November 5th, 2009 at 12:15 am

    Oldest shortstop to win a world series I believe

    Thank God Geoege was smart enough to cut out his vocal cords during Spring Training.

  271. Erica – always OPPC November 5th, 2009 at 12:24 am

    Btw- I was afraid to mention this earlier, but my boss asked me today to sit in a meeting tomorrow afternoon from 2-4. My first thought was, “the Yanks better win tonight or I will have to cancel GTLU”

    Thank goodness we did not reach that doomsday scenario!

  272. Will November 5th, 2009 at 12:24 am

    What a year LoHudders! Wish Pete was here!

    Joe Torre has to be ill tonight.

    Ozzie picked the Phillies. No wonder his team lost.

    I get chills thinking about Mo,Jeter,Andy.and Posada having 5 rings at the same time,on the same team.It has to be a record.

    Charlie Manuel as slick as he tried to be,had 1 pitcher that won his only 2 games,against a 3 pitcher rotation.

    AJ BURNETT WON US THIS THING. IF HE BOMBS IN GAME 2 INSTEAD OF GAME 5, WE MANY NOT WIN THIS THING.

    AJ BURNETT. WHAT A GAME 2 PERFORMANCE.

    DAMASO MARTE…..BANG!!!!! Im not entirely sure the Utley went around, but after the way we got cheated in the first 4 innings, ILL TAKE IT.

    LISTEN TO KRUKKKKY ON ESPN. CRY US A RIVER KRUKKY.

    … and i’m not letting him go until he makes me the bullpen catcher :)

  301. terpbomber (not a bridge jumper) November 5th, 2009 at 12:28 am

    It was nice seeing familiar faces like Nady, Wang, etc., take part in the festivities as they have during the post season run. Hope to see them back next year.

    For me, this win comes close to the 1996 one after that eighteen year drought. The subsequent wins of the Torre era were satisfying, but they were riding on a momentum and not as dramatic. I remember the 1977-78 wins, but that was so long ago I don’t recall how pumped I was compared to this one!

    All those years post-2000 are now a distant memory. :)

  302. Trevor November 5th, 2009 at 12:28 am

    What are the rules for rings? Whoever is on the roster throughout the regular season?

    Does Brett Tomko, Kevin Cash, Jose Veras get rings?

    What an amazingly resilient team – you just can not quantify the toughness they showed this year. The Yankees never, ever, ever gave up adn that is their most endearing quality to me…..

  312. Wade November 5th, 2009 at 12:29 am

    All the newbies have postseason experience now.Next year they know what to expect,and can settle down.

    Phillies scare the NL because they are lefty heavy.The Yankees are use to lefties,no big deal!

    As I repeatedly posted on the first game thread,Yankees would win! Stop filling your heads with Yankee hater minutia!

    They talk loud and say NOTHING!

    Can all the long time/first times please tell Francessa what an idiot he is for insisting on conceding game 5 with Gaudin and using AJ tonight. Would it have surprised anyone if AJ got creamed tonight? No, of course not. Joe G wanted Andy to pitch tonight short rest or not, and he was right, Francessa was wrong.

    I look forward to 2010. We have a young pitching staff, with a lot of great young talent coming up, and a veteran nucleus that can teach the youngsters what it takes to win.

    This could be the start of a nice dynasty.

    The New York Yankees, the most successful professional franchise in the history of sports!

    27 going on 28!

    See you guys next Spring!

    Joe Buck has done a terrible job tonight and throughout the World Series. He’s totally unenthusiastic, boring, and adds zero emotion or excitement to the broadcast. His lackluster performance and callus attitude is bizarre and irritating.

    Thanks

  379. Abdababdaserser November 5th, 2009 at 12:42 am

    I feel as if I just had 27 beers with my son… close!

    Wow. 27 Championships. Great series, great team.

    Phillies had no chance, despite the Yankees being nice and allowing them to get two games. ;)

    What a season. The core 4.

    Congrats to Hideki, well earned MVP. Congrats to Andy, smart move coming home.

    Thank you George Steinbrenner for all that you have given to us fans of this great franchise. He deserves a place in the HOF. No way to deny him.

    Wow.

    Now how do you sleep after this???

    The transformation is pretty incredible.

  442. CB November 5th, 2009 at 12:55 am

    The players on this team have been just unbelievable.

    But you also have to tip your hat to the phenomenal job Brian Cashman did in assembling this team.

    For the first time in a very long time the yankees used their resources in a rational fashion, one that could be described as close to optimal.

    And it made all the difference.

    The roots for this team were planted back in the winter of 2007 when Cashman made the most controversial decision of his career – not trading for Johann Santana.

    It was that decision coupled to Cashman’s emphasis on drafting and building with young players starting when he got full control of the franchise in 2005 that were the key factors to transitioning this franchise back to being champions.

    Cashman patiently waited until this past off season when the free agent market was rich and the team had huge amounts of salary coming off the books to improve the team without paying in both money and talent to improve the team.

    Cashman has been skewered to no end in NY by both fans and the media for assorted moves.

    Anytime something positive happens his accomplishments have often been dismissed as a function of money and “buying players.”

    And he’s done it in the most unassuming fashion possible always deflecting credit to the ownership, players and manager.

    And of course on the night where his vision and the organizational change he instilled in the franchise came to fruition he was almost nowhere to be found.

    CB – of course, you are right. Cash deserves immense credit for having the right vision, and then executing it. And, the decision on to pass on Santana set them up for the years ahead, as CC and Phil Hughes keep winning.

    I remember when the Yanks finished in Tampa, the Yanks brought in some of their minor league players, and Joe pointed to Pena, Cervelli, Coke, Phil and told them that they – the minor leaguers – were not that far away. Some of those young players will help the Yanks to win Nos. 28, 29,….

    But even if you can’t get there early — go to be with the crazy crowd and to see the guys. It’s just an amazing feeling to be surrounded by so many happy folks.

    I’m on a bus on the way from montreal to NYC (had tickets to game 7, but now i guess i’ll spend some time with the family instead!), thank god the bus has wi-fi… We had just pulled up at the border when there was one out left to go, and i was PRAYING that i could see the last out before they forced me off. Thankfully i saw it, and literally 5 seconds later the bus turned off, cutting out the wifi, and a border patrol officer walked on and told us to file out and says ‘oh and by the way, the yankees just won the world series’ and fist pumped.

    Thank you, Yankees, and thank you fellow bloggers. It’s been a great season. Good night, all, and pleasant dreams.

    Let’s Go Yankees!

    Buck and McCarver were classless til the very end. Almost total silence at the end of the game/totally unenthusiastic during the awards ceremonies. They even found every excuse to mention how great the Phillies were during the celebration. Unbelievable.

  482. CB November 5th, 2009 at 1:10 am

    “Some of those young players will help the Yanks to win Nos. 28, 29,….”

    The team has obviously accomplished the pinnacle of what is possible for a single season and that should be thoroughly enjoyed and it will be.

    But I find it hard not to start thinking about the future.

    I’ve wanted to post about this for a while but it was inappropriate to do so until the world series was over.

    The rest of baseball could be in enormous trouble.

    The yankees are poised to go on a massive run. That’s not to say they are going to win 4 of the next 5 series….

    But they now have a core of very talented young pitchers both for the starting rotation and the pen.

    And they have a high quality process through which they can continue to bring in strong young players every year into the system.

    There is so much pitching talent even now in the minors.

    If they continue to allocate resources rationally they are going to be beastly to deal with for years to come.

    Gopher,

    I don’t want to get that far ahead. We should enjoy this for a long while.

    I’ll say this however – this is going to be a very fun hot stove season.

    Much easier to make decisions coming off a championship.

    This team is positioned very, very well for the future.

    They are anchored by one of the 5 best pitchers in the game and he’s 29. Alex returned to form as one of the 5 best players in the game. They have a stud 29 year old 3 hole hitter. They have two young pitchers who have the chance to be true frontline pitchers if they stay healthy. They have an all star caliber second baseman in his mid 20’s signed long term at a good price. They have a ton of pitching depth in the minors.

    This 2009 team is only the start.

  516. CR9 November 5th, 2009 at 1:25 am

    To steal a line from Sam Rosen on the 1994 NY Rangers…..

    And I will look toward next year after a few weeks off……

    but for Alex, and Hideki, and Joba, and Phil, and Robi and Melky and Tex and Hairston and obviously the rest….

    THIS ONE WILL LAST A LIFETIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Comment from a Cub Fan name gallo76-
    http://boards.espn.go.com/boar…..amp;lid=13

    I’m tired of the Yankees. Kind of like the Patriots….get somebody new in there.

    I guess Yankees would be more interesting to watch too if they actually groomed some sort of talent rather than go out and buy their teams. At least a majority of the Philly roster has been with the club for a while.

    Celtics, same thing. Have no interest in watching Pierce-Garnett-Allen because of the way they got there. And I do know that is what a lot of sports/teams are starting to turn to.

    Gammons was making the point how Mo was largely unlucky that night in Arizona and he was right.

    He mentioned how Mo broke three bats that night, but the breaks didn’t go his way.

    He wasn’t insulting Rivera.

People here think I’m crazy, but I didn’t even see it as an option to sleep through it. And it paid off, and hopefully next year when I’m back in America they can do it again. Go Yanks!!!

    I’ve always thought that Mo should be honored by a special award for Closers named the Rivera closer award.CY Young has one named after him for 511 wins.

    Mo will have more closes than that when he finishes,he needs to be honored.

    Mo is in excellent physical shape,Cashman won’t release him,he’ll retire a Yankee.

  547. JasonR November 5th, 2009 at 1:31 am

    “Buck and McCarver were classless til the very end. Almost total silence at the end of the game/totally unenthusiastic during the awards ceremonies.”

    I hate to defend those two clowns, but they played it well at the end of the game. The most annoying thing for any sports announcer to do is talk over the moment instead of letting the moment speak for itself. The total silence was a good thing.

    Hey, Pat M. Yes, it was. This was probably the two closest matched teams in a WS since 2001 or even earlier than that….probably the late ’70s yanks/Dodgers. I still miss those old Yankee/Royals playoff games, though. Those were real wars.

    This year wrapped up Matsui’s $52 million, four-year contract. It remains to be seen what the aging Yankees will do with Matsui. Whatever happens, he certainly left his mark.

    “I hope so. I hope it works out that way,” he said. “I love New York, I love the Yankees.” :cry:

    I’m all for it. No reason the discussions should not continue. The Yankee’s winning has been really great considering all the personal things I have been thru this year.

    Well your certainly a welcome addition here. I hope the Yankees winning the W/S helps put a positive spin on you going forward.

    Mo is just…there are no words.

    Bye, guys. I’m finally off to work. Took most of the day off to see the guys win it ALL.

    And they did.

    anyone catch ESPN wrap-up?

    Mo walks in during wrap-up….everyone gets their say in, and the first thing out of Old Man Gammons’ mouth was Arizona.

    a few mins after he mentioned Mo was Cy Young of last 15 years.

    what is it with that tool?

    Thank You Cereveli for all the games the Yankees continued to win, when the #1 and #2 catchers were on the DL.

    Good bye Molina.
