2 years in a row he disappeared during the playoff. Last year he OPS'd
..581, and this year, .258! That's OPS, folks, not BA. His BA is .091.
Oh wait, these numbers didn't include today's game, in which he went 0
for 3. And I noticed he batted 8th in the lineup today according to
Yahoosports. That made me chuckled regarding some comment about if you
can't get the #8 hitter out.... ;-)

Meanwhile, Jeter did it again: .583/.615/1.167/1.782 not counting
today's 1 for 4. I know I know, small sample size and all, and he's not
a power hitter, so comparing OPS is a disadvantage for him. But overall
he's had close to 500 postseason ABs, and he's .307/.379/.463. That's
pretty damn good for a non-slugger. And we all know about some of his
clutch hits. You might hate him and think he's overrated, but you have
to admit, come playoff time the guy produces.

ARod's playoff numbers look good in Seattle and also his first year at
NY, but maybe the pressure of coming through in New York, where anything
less than a WS is a failure, is getting to him a little. ;-)

If you can't tell by now, I enjoy watching the $25 million dollar man
choking in the playoff. ;-)

And if the Yankees are looking to dump him, I would be more than happy
if the Giants could get him. He's still better than any other player on
the team.

I heard on ESPN radio tonight that only 16 mil of that huge salary is left.
They were saying that he wants out of NY badly, and that nobody there would
be sad to see him go.

Still, ARod, even if he played at his Seattle level, couldn't do much to
help the Giants. There is too much infrastructure missing for one player to
make much of an impact

I can see A-Rod being a Giant easily. I hope it happens. I mean, hell,
Barry was shite in the playoff for EVER and finally came around.

I wonder which is true--that rumor or the tale that he's made it

do that because he's no quitter).

And remember, it won't be just $16M. It might be $16M plus Matt Cain.
That's about the only guy the Yanks would be interested in.

Good job. But with just 5 words no one would be able to read my biased
opinion. And here's hoping he's really on a decline rather than just a
subpar year.
