We swept the Astro's to end the season, and gave our younger players a chance to stand out. Pettitte pitched a complete game for a win, to give him an 11-11 record for the season and ensuring that he never had a losing season in his career.
The Bad
Hafner got to play the last game of the season, going 0-4. A fitting way to end this season.
The Ugly
This is the first time the Yankees have played meaningless games of baseball to close out a season since
One More Before We Hit the Road
Reynolds hit one last homerun to end the season, which ends the year with $288 going to charity.

Thanks for another great year of this blog. While the Yankees disappointed, you did not.
Thank you Rich, and thanks for a great year of commenting. Your wit is always appreciated!
Someone has to appreciate it, so thanks.
Who do you want to win it all this year? I'd be happiest with Pirates, Rays, or Indians, in about that order.
That's a good question. National League, definitely the Pirates. It's been a long time for them. My second National League option would have to be the Dodgers, for the Mattingly connection. American League, I'm pulling for either the Rays, Tigers, or Athletics. The Rays because they've never won one, and it would be nice to see them advance. The Tigers, because they live in Detroit, and that city could use a pick-me-up. And the Athletics for Billy Beane to finally win a championship.
We all seem to like the Pirates and the Dodgers and the Tigers. It is so weird to not be part of the playoff and I heard on the radio that this might be how it will be for a few years. Something about the luxury tax and contracts and our need of new players. Whatever! I miss my Yankees. October is not the same without them.
