Yeah. I know. I know I know I know.
I’ve heard people compare it to the Lakers. This wasn’t the Lakers. The Lakers weren’t up 3-0 and lost the series. This isn’t a team that was supposed to be great who just lost in the playoffs.
This was a team that three outs away from a four game sweep, but instead lost four straight games. It is, very possibly, the biggest choke in the history of sports.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the Buffalo comeback against Houston where they came back from like 31 points down in the playoffs.
I’ve got an article ready for this, looking back at what Buhner.com told the Yankees to do, what they actually did, and why it did (or didn’t) work. Then, we’ll look at what needs to be done for next year.
Assuming there’s anyone left come next year.
