Instead of doggin the Yankees and name-calling and acting like uncivilized people-let's try and figure out what went wrong. I mean not to be a ball buster or anything-but our boys haven't been winners this long to become called "greedy", "sell outs", and "sucky" automatically in one game. I know Yanks fans are upset-but obviously we were NOT our best out there last night. What do you guys think was the problem? I heard a sports caster dude saying, by this time next year-The Yanks will be the 2004 Mariners..WHAT? Thats some serious shit. *Let me just say, however, that was AWESOME baseball being played by the Sox last night-they played their butts off. Butts weren't as cute as NY's -but were butts nonetheless.

I think that 'what went wrong' has been being discussed both here and all over the sportsworld, and long this post-season even began. Pitching, pitching, pitching. On the YES postgame show last night it was made clear that the Yankees MUST strengthen their bullpen next season. And what's wrong with name-calling and acting like uncivilized people? It's the God-given right of disappointed sports fans to call names and act uncivilized when their team lets them down. Especially when their team COULD HAVE won but decided to get sloppy in the 11th hour. Apple

There's a saying in baseball that it is better to trade a player a year early than a year too late. Same can be said for buying players too (Kevin Brown).
Without pulling up stats, I believe most of the Yankees (offensively) were below their career averages - Jeter, A-Rod, Sheff, Williams, Giambi. Not sure about Posada. Look at the pitching duds - Loiza, Vasquez. The whole year was so erratic with regard to who was playing, who was pitching. Kudos to Joe Torre for getting as many wins as he did. The Yankees gave us the illusion of a great team. They really weren't.
