The Evil Empire is Dead

I can't resist:

The Yankees lose! THE-E-E-E-E YANKEES -- LOSE!

Read it and weep, Mr. Sterling.

You forgot the part about it happening in the first round... yet again...

The Borg is defeated... and about 95% of baseball fans rejoice...

Jeter had a pretty bad series as well, which I like. But I'm sure Arod will get a lot of blame despite the hr.

[mweb]

I agree, the only significant loss out of that bunch would be A-rod and he may not leave.

Rivera and Posada would obviously sigificant losses as well.

One down, one to go.

This is a great moment, except it's overshadowed by the whole Torre circus.

Love how ESPN isn't covering the Indians press conference. . . . .

[Chollie Eckman]

That's what $200 million will get you. One playoff win. I guess they can say they were better than the other three first round losers.

[Why Not?]

Hopefully Steinbrenner will go back to his old ways and trade them all in a package for Griffey, Jr...or Jay Gibbons!

Since blowing a 9th inning lead in game 4 of the ALCS, the Yankees have gone 4-13 in post-season play. Those 2004 Red Sox killed the body, and now the head is about to topple.

Seems possible that one of those guys could could go in a trade for Johan Santana.

Well, they did go into the CLE locker room... and the CLE mgr is soaked with champagne... and they go up to him in his moment of triumph... and what question do they ask him?

They ask him what he thinks about this maybe being Torre's last game!

ARRRRGGHHH!!!

I'm told Michael Kay just said on the YES network that the Yankees are still the better team.

AAARGGGHHHH!

Drive another stake into these guys! Somebody.

Clearly, the Indians were the better team. No one can deny that. I freely admit I was dead wrong about this series.

Here's a great ALDS stat:

Jeter - 17 plate appearances, 18 outs

That must be a misprint. Derek is the most infallible clutch player in the history of the universe.

If by clutch you mean getting overshadowed by A-Rod coming up short in the playoffs again and not having to take any heat, Jeter's really clutch
