Yankees eliminated!

The Yankees are done! It'll be the Detroit Tigers and the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series. The Yanks fall 3-2 in Game 5 tonight at Yankee Stadium. And as it turns out, two former Diamondbacks -- Max Scherzer and Jose Valverde -- help get the job done for the Tigers. Max pitched 1 1/3 innings, striking out two and walking none, while allowing two hits and one earned run. Jose got the save as he faced just three batters in the bottom of the ninth, including a strike out of Alex Rodriquez to end the game. Boston out! New York out!

There's already talk on the blogs on the East Coast of Terry Francona replacing Joe Girardi.
