Yesterday, I was absolutely sure the Yankees would win that game. Absolutely certain. We had a one-run lead and Andy pitching a no-hitter. We couldn't lose. And then, batter after batter just went down swinging, and opportunity after opportunity disappeared, and there we were: Another one run game. All season, we have watched this team come to the brink and then turn around. How did we turn into such a losing organization?

And why in God's name should we hold hope for next season?
