While I'm happy as the next guy that the Yankees are out of the playoffs, I'm not here to write about that. Instead, I was set off by one of the guys on FOX (Steve Lyons maybe?) who said:
"And the bat, like Alex Rodriguez' psyche, lying shattered out there on the field."
Seriously, I hate defending A-Rod because he's a complete a-hole, but what is this all about. So what, he's gone like 10 postseason games in a row without an RBI. If you combine little 4 or 5 game stretches from various points in time, you can make ANY ballplayer look bad. It sucks for A-Rod that some of his bad points come from the past few playoff games, but guess what?
THESE THINGS HAPPEN.
Ortiz hit .191 in the '03 playoffs. Jeter batted a combined .195 in the 01, 03 and 04 ALCS's.
Does this make either of them any less of a player? NO. In fact, these guys are considered the two best clutch hitters in the AL. BUT SOMETIMES, THEY DON'T HIT THAT WELL. JUST LIKE A-ROD IS NOW. I repeat: IT HAPPENS.

See, this is that part of the show where I would just sit there and laugh at him...
