October 9, 200718 yr QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 11:52 PM) Jeter made 17 outs in 17 plate appearances. Not to mention he made a key error.
October 9, 200718 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 11:44 PM) This series loss is on Arod. Thats just ridiculous, I hope you dont believe that lol.
October 9, 200718 yr See, this is the problem with some people. They can't figure two things at once. Rodriguez AND Jeter had bad post-seasons.

New York has to put all of the blame on one person, and it seems the rest of the world has to follow suit. There can be only one....... (Cue Highlander theme)
October 9, 200718 yr With all the talk about Jeter and A-Rod, what is being missed is that Cleveland was and is just a better baseball team.
October 9, 200718 yr I haven't missed that fact. I just don't want anybody to pretend that Rodriguez had a good postseason, I don't care if his OPS is technically .800 because of a couple of walks.
October 9, 200718 yr An article about Chip Caray's general awful-ness this series. I don't remember listening to Caray for a four-game stretch like I did during this series, but he ranks right up there with Brenneman, Buck and DJ as guys who f***in' suck. http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/...dcast_booth_rr/

Well Cleveland has a much better starting rotation, a much better bullpen, is a better defensive team (although that's not saying much, Cleveland isn't great and NY is awful), and has a lineup that can at least tread water with the Yanks. But besides those small details, the Yankees obviously choked. One day people will get the fact that talent, not payroll, determines the best teams.

And I used my 9,000th post to say that.

One day people will get the fact that talent, not payroll, determines the best teams. cleveland really got a boost from their pen....it was a huge issue for them coming into the year and starting the year....but guys like rafael perez and jensen lewis (who is a buddy of mine from college) have really brought a stabilizing force to that pen...if only wedge could see leaving borowski in to close is gonna haunt him at some point, but i guess you can't screw around with that kind of thing this late in the year
