End of an era: Yanks lose

[NewsWhore]

A threat by Yankee owner George Steinbrenner wasn't enough to save the New York Yankee's season. The Bombers faced elimination on Monday night and with a loss almost certain guaranteed that Joe Torre would not be back as manager, and so the end of an era. The Yankees lost to the Cleveland Indians last night 6-4. Alex Rodriguez's high paid bat went silent again last night, though he did hit a solo homerun. Robinson Cano also hit a solo shot, but it wasn't enough for the Yanks. The Cleveland Indians now move to face the Boston Red Sox, in the AL Championship Series, while the Arizona Diamondbacks will face the Colorado Rockies for the NL Championship Series.
