Message: [QUOTE="ScrabbCuse, post: 3460213, member: 3919"] I agree the 03 Yankees were tired and couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm to play an unfamiliar foe. You play around 20 games in the regular season against your biggest rival, go back and forth in the standings with them and have an unbelievable 7 game ALCS. But wait...before you are awarded the World Series, you have to beat this team you have no rivalry with and who you are not familiar with at all. Mentally, that’s tough to get up for. Meanwhile the Marlins were super pumped and ready. I’m a tennis fan and it’s like Federer and Nadal going five sets in the semis of Wimbledon and the winner has to go up against a top 20ish player having the tournament of his life in the finals. Talent wins out a lot but mental fatigue can definitely do you in. [/QUOTE]
