MLB Playoffs

I didn't bring up the Royals at all. But since you brought them up ... thanks to their sweep of the Tigers, the Tigers got the Yankees. Now look what's happened.

 

It's gotten to the point in this series where A-Rod is only one of about a dozen goats.

 

And similar to my argument on this thread for Glavine (who's also had his share of postseason "meltdowns") ...

Randy Johnson won three games in the 2001 World Series -- a rare, rare feat. He has a WS co-MVP to his credit. He had a huge ALDS in '95, helping save baseball in Seattle. He had a huge 2001 NLCS, leading his team into the Series. He's *PROVEN* himself on the big stage before. As has Jeter. As has Sheffield. That's they they get a little more benefit of the doubt.

A-Rod has not proven himself, not in October.

When he does that, if he does that, then I'll shut up about it. But until he does it ...[/quote]

So, it's okay for Johnson and Bonds and Sheffield to have playoff failures because they have had playoff success. It's not okay for ARod to struggle because he's he's among the top five playoers in the game.

Yup, ARod's a failure. Failure.

 

The Twins have a lot of their success built around one pitcher. They were eighth in the league in runs and ninth in slugging. Once Santana lost, they were pretty much toast.

 

Has a former Yankee ever given such a resounding Fuck You! to the mouth-breathers in the Bronx?

 

Exactly what has happened? The Tigers have won one game and are winning this one. Guess what? It means shit. The Yankees can win the next two. Then what? Is it going to be a big comfort to A.L.Centralfanboys.com that the mighty Tigers took two games?

 

He's not welcome in Queens, that's for shit sure. Gutless wonder that he is.

 

Zumaya threw a bunch of pitches yesterday, right? Interesting that they went to him here with games scheduled for the next two nights.
Of course he got out of it pretty quick.

 

Kenny Rogers's curve tonight=Mike Scott's split in 1986

 

Mike Scott was one of the better pitchers in RBI Baseball, too. But Jose Cruz was a crappy hitter. Slower than old people fucking, too.

 

If the Yankees lose this series, will their payroll be $1 billion next season? How high will these losers climb?

 

Empty stats are your concoction.
