Nah -- I couldn't get tickets this time around, so I just watched it on TV at a friends's house. Good game. But I think you're too hard on A-Rod. ;) If it weren't for his clutch hitting in the ALDS, the Yankees wouldn't even have been in the ALCS. Yeah, his bat when flat in Games 4-7, but so did every other Yankee. Besides, I blame the pitching more for that debacle (and did you see Jome Run Javy's less-than-stellar debut for the D-Backs?)
Me too (see post #8). Not blaming A-Rod for the ALCS loss, just saying that there are some big expectations for him to live up to this year. ....but I think he'll come through.
and did you see Jome Run Javy's less-than-stellar debut for the D-Backs?
Nice.....lasted 1 2/3 innings and allowed seven runs and 10 hits.
My local team did pretty well today though -- 42 year old Moyer pitched like his old self (5 2/3, 5 Hits, 1 Run, 4 Ks), and newbie Richie Sexson came up big with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs.
