HBT: Yankees-Tigers worst playoff sweep ever?

It may have felt like that for Yankees fans,?but according to Chris Jaffe?s admittedly random and non-scientific formula involving blowouts, lead changes and run differential, it only ranks as the fourth worst sweep in playoff history. Although:

?When you factor in all the stuff the system doesn?t account for?Jeter?s injury, the booing, A-Rod?s benching?this one probably deserves to be kicked up a bit?

Agreed. There were worse blowouts, obviously, and Chris? choice of number one is a good one that often goes unnoticed for understandable reasons, but there was a more dispiriting feel to this year?s ALCS than a lot of past playoff sweeps.

Even if you disagree, it?s a fun article which reminds you that not every playoff series is magical.
