Critical spot:
Yankees down 4-1 early, and not hitting at all.
Tex can't play due to injuring himself igniting win the day before on take-out slide at second .
Andy struggling. Red sox up 10 vs. Tigers.
First place at stake today.
We load the bases on three walks, with one out registered. A-Rod saunters to the plate as the fans raise their noise levels.
This is our shot.
On ball four pitch in the dirt, A-Rod hits chopper to third.
Double play. Inning over. Game over.
Later, he K's twice with our last two runners on base.
You can throw me all the positive A-Rod statistics in the world, but he still seems to clutch up whenever it really matters.
More so in the post season than in the first 162 games, granted.
But he just never seems to be a hero when we need one.
Frankly, we should all be used to it by now.
But it still rankles.

so i guess the homerun he hit to tie the game in the ninth a couple weeks back to tie it before melky's walk off wasn't good enough?
Oh, he also had one of the teams two RBI's yesterday. No one hit yesterday. One game and already it's all A-Rod's fault.
Betemit can play third, just throwing it out there.
No. It wasn't good enough.
Never will be until he helps win us a ring.
Nothing during the 162 season is good enough.
You can cite every statistic in the universe about how A-Rod delivers; BA with bases loaded, MVP trophies, HR totals..anything you want.
His big hits only count in the playoffs.
Failure to make big hits counts in the 162 game season.
You forgot the last paragraph. The one with your solution. Trade? Demotion? We need to know what to do, there's so many years left on the contract...
Trade him to the Rays for Longoria and three of their top prospects.
Appoint him head of Kaballah USA.
Appoint him as Senator from Illinois. Or Governor of NY.
Ask him to lend his name to a new lap dancing franchise in NYC.
Sit him down when we reach the playoffs.
Double his salary.
