A good year in sports: the Yankees lose :)

Every time the NY Yankees fail to win it all, I am all the more happier because it is yet another reminder that money can't buy one everything. 

And what a fitting end it was: A-Rod swinging his bat in the air for the final out.  A former Texas Ranger who left the team to follow a contract that was unheard of.  His gazillion dollar contract can't make his bat hit the ball, and the game and the series ends. 
What a Hollywood ending!!!

Rodriguez made the final out of the series, striking out against Neftali Feliz. The former Ranger marveled over the fact that he was the one to end the series, adding, "I'm sure it made it a little bit sweeter for them."

Made it absolutely sweet for me, yes :)

And thus the team with the highest payroll goes home. How sweet that the highest paid guy loses swinging his bat to the lowest (well, second lowest) paid player of the other team.  Makes up for a lot of crap this year!
