And if I'm to believe Al Leiter, this is the worst thing for him right now. On the YES broadcast, Al Leiter swore, and would not give in on this point, that in game 7 of the World Series, he approached his game absolutely no differently than a game in April or May. He said he never once stepped on the field thinking that his teammates really needed him to pick them up. He just made a gameplan with the catcher and that was it. He thinks that one of A-Rod's big failures is he's never learnt this trick of the pro athlete for some reason. Al could be lying, and maybe what he's saying is just a variation on one pitch at a time crap, but still, his sincerity as to it caught me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-19333099630937563242008-08-27T10:21:00.000-04:002008-08-27T10:21:00.000-04:00Arod is the least clutch player I can remember wat...Arod is the least clutch player I can remember watching. Did anyone see his numbers with runners in scoring postion, batting.250 this year. I'm sorry for the amount of money he's making and his level of talent I'd be less then happy with him if I was a yankee fan. It might not be a fair shake for arod, but no one remembers a home run off the royales in the top of the 5th inning, its the bases loaded situations against the sox that make the highlight reel. <BR/><BR/>Also, the yanks are underachieving as a team, as a fan of baseball, I can sympathize with frustrated yankee fans. However I do take great delight in their failures this year.<BR/><BR/>sox sweep, you read it here first.Tim Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500281703391623368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-81042459883602114852008-08-27T09:56:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:56:00.000-04:00As of last night ESPN was reporting that the Sox a...As of last night ESPN was reporting that the Sox and Kotsay were close to a deal....as a result of JD Drew's trip to the DL.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the comment above that Wake pitched pretty well and it felt like we stole a game last night. Not that i'm complaining, win one out of the next two and you have to think the Yanks are in real trouble, win them both and they're done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-64573146091264453902008-08-27T09:38:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:38:00.000-04:00I was pretty surprised that Wakefield did as well ...I was pretty surprised that Wakefield did as well he did. The Yankees hit him well even on good days, and it seemed like his knuckle really didn't have the same dance that it usually does.
