History's irony

INDIANS CRUSH YANKEES

This same headline would have had a certain providence 150 years ago.

I was slipping in and out of sleep last night as the Yankees failed to mount their comeback.

Here are the things I know:

It wasn't A-Rod's fault- all of the Yankee bats were brutal. Six months ago I said they needed to get better pitching - because that is what wins games in October.

It was still really fun to watch a team come from 14.5 back and make the playoffs.

I am now cheering for the Rockies. They totally deserve to win given where they were a month ago.
