The problem is that only Utley, Werth and Ruiz stepped up. Got nothing from Rollins, Victorino, Ibanez and Howard. Of course Howard will get the most made out of this but if we get production from the other 3 and not howard we would have been fine. Its not like the Yanks were in shutdown mode.
From what I saw this postseason, the Yankees didnt play all that well. They played to the level of their competition which outside of the Phillies, doesnt say a whole lot! I think the Phillies shot their load in the NL playoffs and outside of a few guys like Utley and Werth, had little left for the stretch drive. The Phillies were a very good team, a lot better than that sad sack of players I root for who quit on their fans.
