WOW, Figgins bailed Arod out of the inning ending double play. NICE!

Ok, Sexson has to go. He strikes out looking against Darren Oliver, what a POS...

wow, great game, fun to watch.....gotta give the team A for trying

meanwhile, the more disturbing thing is that Arod really just didnt cut it again when it counts, but he got bailed out today, or that was a routing GIDP....this guy just aint clutch :roll:

ARod also singled with Abreu on before that, which allowed Nady to hit that homerun later. But I guess it's always meaningless unless he hits the ball to Yonkers.

Duh. Anything less than a 5 run homer in the 3rd inning or later = failure

tbs showed a stat that arod had no go ahead rbi after the 7th....not a surprise

Post #56 » by **nykgeneralmanager** » Sun Aug 3, 2008 11:59 pm

Definitely not a surprise, we would probably be 111-0 without his bum ***.

He is only #1 in the AL in batting, and when you combine that with 45 homers, gold glove defense, and a 1.000 OPS, you have the most replaceable player in baseball. Bring back Aaron Boone please, that guy was the DEFINITION of clutch.

The secondary definition of clutch is Derek Jeter, who is likely on pace to set the record for double plays in a season and would've hit into another one today if Damon wasn't running on the pitch with the infield in.

Great game. For all the Arod bashers, who would you replace him with? Mike Lowell? David Wright? Evan Longoria? Miguel Cabrera? Aramis Ramirez? Scott Rolen? Troy Glaus? He's a better hitter than all of those guys and a better fielder than most of them. We all saw how terrible this team was when Arod was the DL, no other one player in the major leagues could replace what he does. -Jitpal

Not Jeter's greatest year, but Jeter (along with Mo and Posada) will never "wear thin" on me. They've simply provided too many memories that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

It's going to very hard to watch those 3 retire. They've been the definition of consistent their entire career, and I'm not going to get pissed at any of them for one bad year.

exactly, you win 4 rings, including 3 in a row and make 6 WS appearances, you never wear thin on me, that is a lifetime of winning, so they get a lifetime pass with me...

Go ahead RBI, 7th inning or later, over a 3 month period. How much more specific can a statistic get?

How soon people forget that ARod hit 4 game winning homers last year and hit about .400 in the 9th inning last season and led the majors in homers and RBI in the 9th inning. He also hit .333 with RISP and .318 with RISP/2 outs. So was he a clutch God last season, and now a guy who doesn't have "it" in 2008?

I mean seriously, he has played about 3 months of baseball this season and you are pointing to a stat that has to with 3 innings of a game and in a situation where the game is tied. How much smaller of a sample size can you possibly use?

I can't believe we split. I wish we had Game 2, but I'm still satisfied we took a split.

Good grief Kandi, hopefully you're joking. :nonono:

He has a 1.000 OPS! What more do you want from him? :banghead:
