Playing The ALCS Blame Game

While the NY tabloids and the endless stream of talking heads at ESPN want to brainwash you into thinking that everything wrong that happened with the Yankees this postseason was Alex Rodriguez's fault, the fact remains that, like the team's successes, it was a true group effort to accomplish getting swept by the Detroit Tigers.  It's been a somewhat subliminal staging of The Blame Game taking place in the coverage of the Yanks' ALCS struggles, even within the blogosphere.  So being the fair, reasonable, even-keeled blogger that I am, I decided to take it upon myself to definitively state for everyone how the blame for what happened should be divvied up.  It took many hours of brain wracking to come up with this, so I hope you appreciate it.  Because I did it for you, Yankee fans.

Swept...

That was awful.  Just awful.  I know there's things I should be happy about this season, but to go out in that fashion is just mind-numbing and incredibly disappointing.  This team found its stride in the final 4 games of the regular season, entered the playoffs looking like they were primed to break out, and they just stopped hitting.  They stopped hitting and never started again, they just got worse.  Credit to the pitchers, but a heaping helping of blame and shame on the Yankee hitters.  Heads are going to roll this offseason.  Count on it.

The 2012 New York Yankees are dead.  Long live the Yankees.

What Was That?

I have no words...
