Start ... Spread-ing ... the Noooooooze

For only the second time since 1995, the New York Yankees failed to make the postseason. They currently have 82 wins with four games to go. In the A.L. East, they're tied for third, 13.5 games back of Boston. Their run differential is -23. Their average age is 53.

From manager Joe Girardi:

Show 'em where it hurts, Carey:

Twice in 19 years! Funny, I was thinking the same boo-hoo after talking to you yesterday. And the Mariano farewell! I thought maybe the Pope died. Was it intended as a diversion (literally) from the heartbreaking Yankee finish? And his number retired before he retired? Even Lou Gehrig didn't receive that honor.
