Or something like that.
No one on the Yankees will say it, but they needed to sweep Boston. (As the need to sweep Tampa.) Or at least take the series. Getting pounded in the first two games and then rallying to salvage the final two does nothing but prove the Yankees are great at damage control.
Watching this series against the Sox makes me weep for baseball. Both teams showed how stupid and selfish players have become. Down by two, with a man on and a 3-1 count, instead of taking a pitch and maybe working a walk, bring the tying run to the plate, Melky Cabrera swings and pops up. Next batter grounds into a double play. The Sox load the bases with no outs down by one. Strikeout, pop up strikeout. After Mariano Rivera showed he clearly didn’t have his customary control. Similiar scenarios played themselves out time and again this weekend.
The Yankees took the fourth game because they got a runner on, got him over and got him in ... not with a homerun, but a with a grounder the cleared the infield only after bounding off of Julio Lugo’s glove in his diving attempt. A bunt and a rookie’s speed.
I wonder if Alex Rodriguez will hire Scott Boras to be his divorce lawyer, or will he just negotiate that deal himself, too?
