NEW YORK - The hits and runs kept coming, spinning by on the scoreboard as fast as symbols on a slot machine. It wasn't just a rout, it was an epic defeat, the most one-sided in the 101-year history of the New York Yankees...

ORGET Red Sox-Yankees. Never mind the National League wild card. Oakland-Anaheim, Los Angeles-San Francisco? Who cares? The most compelling race left is the pursuit of last place in the National League East.

The bullpen blew another one. The reliable relievers who carried the New York Yankees all season are coming apart at the most important moment. Mariano Rivera must be tired by now. Tom Gordon is struggling. Paul Quantrill is hurt. And the Yankees are halfway to the biggest collapse in postseason history.

Hot stove? It's a scalding griddle for young Theo Epstein. He could get burned. This past week was yet another demonstration of why ours is the best baseball town in America. Certainly there are places where fans love their team unconditionally (remember St. Louis, Edgar Renteria?), which makes for a cushy environment for players -- but there is no baseball ...
