With four games left in their season, the New York Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs. And while I will not do cartwheels celebrating the demise of a team which was relevant a lot longer than the team I complain about constantly, all I will point out is that the Mets went 4-0 against the Yankees this season. While the Yankees may say that they sucked at that point, the Mets have sucked all season (see: the Mets' next series). So if the Yanks would like to point to something in the season that they would like to have back, they should look no further than late May.
And yes, that makes me smile. Albeit briefly.
It didn't take but 24 hours after the Yankees were eliminated for the first "The Playoffs Lack Star Power" article to come out. (The sentiment was broadcast at high decibels after 2008.) All I have to say is this: If you want stars, go to a movie. I'm sure George Clooney is starring in something.
October will be just fine without the New York Yankees.
