The Yankees lost the World Series because they were:
1. Outplayed defensively. This cannot be understated, they were really outplayed defensively.
2. The second best baserunning team. The Marlins brought speed and used it.
3. Their pitching was effort was matched.

So often, baseball celebrates the home run. It's nice to see a series where a team is given credit for just doing the little things better: defense and baserunning made the difference.
