Just as last season ended with a perfect microcosm of the season, with a 1-0, manufactured win to cap the World Series championship...

...this season ends with a perfect microcosm of the season--a disappointing, error-filled, non-clutch hitting drubbing at the hands of a sub-.500 team.

Yes, wait till next year...and go A's, Tigers, Cards, Astros, Padres, Mets...anybody but the Yankees and Twins, please.
