Last night Alex Rodriguez SHOCKINGLY struck out to the end Yankees playoff run. There have been alot of talk about why did this happen? How could the Yankees lose? What I don't understand is why there are questions to begin with? Lets face it, the Yankees over achieved this season and this isn't a shot at them at all. Their starting pitching rotation was weak and they were plagued with injuries. The fact that they won the AL East out right and had home field advantage throughout their short post season is a credit to Joe Giraldi and his staff.
I'm not going to sit here and bash the Yankees (even though I am pretty damn good at it being a Mets fan and all). I was honestly surprised at the way they played this year. I was pretty sure Boston was going to run away with the division. But through all the problems, injuries and questions, the Yankees mounted an unbelievable run, along with a colossal Red Soxs collapse to take the AL East title. Yankees fans should be happy with what their team accomplished this year.
Lets not get on the A-Rod sucks bandwagon either. I mean that bus comes by every year. All you Yankee fans know what A-Rod is already. Striking out last night was probably not a surprise to most die-hard Yankee fans. A-Rod is a great player and will definitely go to the Hall of Fame. The one thing he is not, never has been and never will be is clutch. He has never been the hero. For all his stats every Yankee fan out there thinks OH NO whenever they see its up to A-Rod to save the day.
They know its just not going to happen.
So to you upset Yankee fans.... cheer up!!!! Your team had a great run despite all the problems they faced. One more quality starter on that rotation and it would be Detroit going home. No need to yell, scream, curse the baseball Gods. The fans and the team should be proud with what was accomplished this year. I mean things can be worse.......
Right????
