Just out of curiosity, how is the ALCS loss being portrayed in the NY media? I heard a national radio talk show host (FOX radio) describe it as the biggest choke job of all time. Is the NY media being that hard on the Yankees? Are they sloughing it off as a lucky statistical anomoly?
[/B][/QUOTE]From what I've read, the general feeling in NY seems to be that Boston was a completely worthy winner- which was my feeling also. It was more a matter of the BoSox SLIGHTLY outplaying the Yankees than the Yankees choking. The real choking dog was the Professor in St. Louis, as usual. LaRussa is just a whining little turkey, imo. Genius? Bah! Most newspapers around the country seemed to agree with that also. There was a good story by Harvey Araton in the NY Times this morning that seemed to better sum up how most NY fans feel about Boston winning. I'll dig up a link and post it.
