Brian Cashman: “I’m stunned. This team fooled me, to some degree.”

A-Rod: “Plain and simple they dominated us. They absolutely kicked our ass.”

Derek Jeter: “They outplayed us in every facet of the game.”

A-Rod: “I am 100 percent committed to winning a world championship with the Yankees.”

Cashman: “I am not looking to trade Alex Rodriguez.”

In other words, set phasers to “awesome winter ahead,” folks.

Peace.
