Indians Send Yankees Home

Posted Oct 9, 07 3:45 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – The Cleveland Indians took Game 4 of the ALDS, defeating the Yankees 6-4 last night to advance to the ALCS, reports the AP. While the Indians have their eye on their first World Series title since 1948, questions consume the Bronx: Will Joe Torre get the ax? Can the Yanks afford to keep their free agents? And where was Alex Rodriguez throughout this series?

Despite their disappointment, Torre's team is rallying around him. "I love Mr. T," proclaimed Derek Jeter. Jorge Posada claimed the poor post-season showing was "not his fault." Mariano Rivera isn't sure he would want to play for another manager, and Andy Pettitte wants Torre to manage the Yankees "forever."

    B students—Cardinals, Brewers, Twins, Phillies, Yankees, Athletics, Marlins, Orioles
    The Cardinals have a slight edge in the wildcard race. The Yankees, meanwhile, barely scrape together a B. More »

    Slow Start Lands Yankees in Unfamiliar AL East Cellar Last place is unfamiliar territory for the Yankees. Since 1912 the Bronx Bombers have only finished there twice, compared to 26 world titles. This year, however, they have bungled their way to a 20-24 record and find themselves looking up, record-wise in the AL, not only at division foes like the Tampa Bay Rays but also at the Royals and the Athletics, three teams whose combined payroll is barely three-fourths of New York, reports USA Today.
