"Ruben Amaro Jr., the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, walked somberly through the tunnel outside the home clubhouse late Friday, all alone. He wore a suit, but now his tie was off, and if he noticed people passing by, he looked through them. His ashen expression said it all. Amaro had witnessed a crash and burn. The St. Louis Cardinals had extinguished the Phillies, 1-0, toppling the No. 1 seed in its home park in the decisive game of its division series. The night before, the same scene had played out in New York, where the Yankees lost a one-run finale to the Detroit Tigers."
