As some of you may have already heard, The Yankee U is shutting its doors after two years of existence. While it is often difficult to say goodbye to something that you have put a lot of time and effort into, this is far from a sad occasion. TYU is just getting bigger and better, as we are merging with Larry Koestler’s excellent Yankeeist blog and moving to a new URL at YankeeAnalysts.com. Every ending is just a new beginning, and we hope that this new beginning leads to an even greater blogging experience for our loyal readers. So update your feeds and bookmarks to the URL of the new site at YankeeAnalysts.com, and join us in establishing TYA as one of the premier Yankees blogs on the web.
Hmm, sorry to see the site go, but glad to hear you are merging to at least keep me up to date with my Yankee content. Been fun following this site for the last 2 years (wow was it really that long) Joe G(Quote)

Congrats!
Please do me a favor — have one of the tech people at the new site give the site a “rating”. Currently the rating is listed as “other” which means it is blocked by my work’s filter. I dont know what the rating of TYU was but probably along the lines of “sports” or something similar which will pass muster. Joe O(Quote)

From what I see, Im not sure I can change the rating. That is done by the filter itself. You may need to contact them and ask them to change it, but Im working on it. Moshe Mandel(Quote)

Man of many talents….I have no idea how the filter works. I can request an override (I assume there is no gambling on your site) from my IT dept., but figured I’ld see if you can change it. I was under the impression that every site gives its own rating, although i guess it makes more sense that the filter does that. The “other” catagory blocks a lot of sites that shouldn’t really be blocked, but the firm wants to be over-restrictive rather than under-restrictive. Joe O(Quote)
