	Sporting News, The: The long and short of it - 1996 American League Championship Series - includes related article on umpiring controversies
		Joe Torre's staff led the American League this season in fewest home runs allowed, so you knew something was going to have to give, one way or the other.
		The difference in the series, then, was this as much as anything: When the Orioles weren't scoring with the long ball, they simply weren't scoring at all.
		And that's what the Yankees' staff undid last week with a series of smart, plucky pitching performances made all the more remarkable by the overlay of baseball's undistinguished pitching this season in general.

	La Russa's lament - The Washington Times: Sports - October 28, 2004
		There was his 2-4 record with Oakland in the 1992 American League Championship Series, and his 3-4 record in the 1996 NLCS with St. Louis, followed by his 1-4 mark with the Cardinals in the 2000 NLCS and his 1-4 disaster in the 2002 series.
		It seemed to be beyond simply his team — considered perhaps the best in baseball this year, with an All-Star lineup and 105 regular-season wins — losing the series.
		And when his team was in danger of losing the NLCS to Houston last week, you could see the weight of his postseason failures in his nervous demeanor.
