nice jon AROD, I love telling the story about when the Yankees got swept by KC last year. The first two games the yanks got beat as - 300+ favs. Heading in to the last game EVERYBODY loaded up on the yanks. Well guess what AROD did, my favorite all time baseball stat.......drumroll....
0 for 4 , 3k's on a total of 11, YES 11 PITCHES. LOL:finger:

A Rod is garbage. I want my money back from the $300 bet I made at +300 on Big Papi to win the MVP in 2005. Anyone who voted for Gay Rod should be taken out back and fucking shot.
absolute joke vote that was. no different than Gino fucking Torreta beating Marshall Faulk for the Heisman in 1990

Perhaps instead of harping on how A-Rod choked by striking out with the bases loaded in the 1st we should give some props to Verlander. After loading the bases he comes back with two 101 mpm fastballs followed up with a nasty curve. It wouldn't have mattered what Yankee batter he was facing in this at bat the results likely would have been the same. Not defending A-Rod but sometimes a pitcher throws unhittable stuff and there is not much a batter can do.
A-Rod did not produce yesterday, that is for sure. But, who in the lineup did? Only Damon, and Matsui.
And also, he only had 3 k's, one out was a pop-up to shallow center. He had 3 k's. I knew he was going to be ripped, he always is. But I just was hoping to see some blame put on the rest of the team as well. Cano almost won the batting title, 0-4, jeter was 2nd in that race 1-4. Sheffield and Giambi, both hitless.
If you watched the game, you could easily see that if you did not get up early in the count on Verlander, he was going to strike you out. You needed to hit one of his early fast balls. He throws so hard, you have to be guessing fast ball to hit it, and when you do that with 2 strikes, it about makes it impossible.

i agree with you Zooropa, I woud like to see Jeter at the plate during this postseason with their whole playoff series/season on the line and to fail. and see what the NYY faithful say then. Given, Jeter does have a good chance of succeeding in that situation. same goes for Giambi, who uses steriods comes back and bashes A-Rod.
