I also mildly criticize the Yankees and Reds for conducting interviews while the World Series was taking place. Out of respect for the integrity of the institution of the World Series, teams do not and have not conducted such business, but at least the Yankees had the sense not to announce their managerial decision until after the series ended.
If the Series had gone into this week, I assure you that they wouldn't have waited. They have only one agenda in mind - their own.
