The most amazing part of this team, I think, is not that they collapsed at the end, but that they managed to squeeze one more great season out of this team first.... But then it ended, and it ended hard, it ended with the Yankees fumbling for their mouthpiece. And now, for the first time in almost two decades, the New York Yankees have no idea what happens next. Just like the rest of us.
(via SportsOnEarth.com) , adding: "This gets to the heart of what made this series so shocking. The Yankees aren't the Yankees anymore. Oh, they might win again. They might, like the Six Million Dollar Man, rebuild faster, stronger and more powerful. They have the money. They have the clout. But this is the point: It won't be THIS Yankees team."
MORE: "Nothing like this batting collapse exists in the annals; nothing comparable comes to mind. Something beyond base hits is missing as well, because the sweet autumnal sadness that creeps over us when the last local team goes down clearly isn’t something to fall back on this time. Let’s settle for relief." (Roger Angell, NewYorker.com)
