It's hard to be too analytical about the Yankees' loss to Anaheim. When 9 out of 10 pitchers get absolutely shelled, there's not much else to say. The defense was bad, the pitching was awful, and the Angels played brilliantly.
It is silly to criticize the offense; it averaged six runs a game in the playoffs. It is doubly silly to say things like the following:

Under Torre's watch, the Yankees used to know how to stare down a rival pitcher, but this year the batters too often went out and took their hacks.

A few facts to consider in response to that assertion: In 2001, the Yankees drew 519 walks and had a .334 on-base percentage. In 2002, the Yankees who "went out and took their hacks" drew 640 alks and had a .354 on-base percentage.
The Yankees' revamped lineup played shoddy defense, but the players they replaced weren't much of an improvement at that stage of their careers (with the exception of Giambi v. Tino at 1B, and that wasn't what cost them the series. The Yankees' failings were elementary enough; there is no need to attibute them to other factors.
