Spot-On Column

Tom Singer's analysis of the ALCS is spot on perfect...esp. his list of the "three trends brought the Yankees from the brink of a World Series to just plain the brink."

• Mariano Rivera fell into a bed of Kryptonite
• The Red Sox put their celebrated lunacy to good use
• John Olerud

That last item is probably truer than the rest...Clark is making me realize how much I miss Giambi (or Olerud for that matter)...
