Robbie-Boy, Blue, SDJ, have at it. I'm going to bed. We will, as they say, talk in the morning.
The difference? The Tribe hit with men on and the Yankees didn't; I'm not sure, but with three more tonight, I'll bet anything they set a record for the most solo home runs in a losing series of any length, at any level. I'm counting five just sitting here.
This isn't necessarily ascribable any failing, moral or otherwise. Sometimes, the other man is just better. I would no more psycho-analyze someone I'd never met than drink a Bronx cocktail. I will note, however, that seventy-five percent of A-Rod's base hits happened either when the Yankees had already regained the lead (last night) or were four or more runs down (tonight).
Goodnight now.
(This originated in a comment I was laying down in a comments section of an Irish Trojan post re the Stanford game. Thank God for Tom Brady and the guys, or this would have been one big red-letter weekend for me.
Oh: and I am happy for Arizona State.)

Your post makes nothing but sense. The better team won, but I still can't believe it was at the hands of Paul Byrd. One run homers are killers and A-Rod contunues his slump. meaningless runs are just that, meaningless. You have to produce when the opportunity arises, and to put it simply the Indians did it more often than the Yanks.
GOOOOOOOOOO DEVILS!!!!!!!!

Game four was game one writ large: again and again, the table was set; again and again, the mashers could not come through.
Byrd was allowed to slip away.
You wanna stat? Five LOB in the first two innings alone. There's your freaking game, series, and probably Torre career.
Don't forget to point a finger at the captain. Jeter's bat stunk up the joint too. He must have had bug and ball repellant mixed in with the pine tar.
Things are tough all over. The next few moves for the Yanks will be crucial. They're starting to become ordinary and it's time to bring in the next generation of players. Out with the old, high priced talent and in with the new. It's a trend that's becoming more popular in MLB.
