    ...his response about ARod created more questions than answered...a simple "no comment" would have sufficed....and The Boss was never shy about sharing his true feelings to the press.

    Found out today that Swisher is a ST advisor as well. What the hell is he going to teach "Brohio" Val Girls Speech Patterns. Looks like the DL gets an early start with Tyler Austin out for 6 weeks with a fractured foot.

    No comment doesn't work in 2017, come-on. The boss toned it way back after his exile. Plus, most of his personal dealings were done on the quiet in stark contrast to his younger boisterous years.

    Conference in DC and then getting the apartment set up in Germany. Been spending the last week buying furniture and getting the pup ready for the big trip.

    I move next Wed, Ajax the following Mon, and Steph comes over in June.

    ...lol...yeah, OK, if you say so. "No comment" does in fact work, as it always has unless of course the individual is too dependent on giving the media exactly what they want.
    ...But after being reinstated, he has very little to complain or be boisterous about...the 1994 Yankees were a juggernaut and were only stopped by the strike that year...in 1995 they made the Post Season for the first time since 1981 but fell short due to the Mariners...and then in 1996, well, as they say, "the rest is history".

    ...but if you want to attribute Steinbrenner's mellowing being due to some sort of fear of the press instead of a natural mellowing with age and a much improved roster and franchise, well that's up to you.
