The Luckiest Team on the Face of the Earth
How is this team 5-1 in the post-season?
Cano has a history of low baseball IQ, but why is it this year Posada is demonstrating premature dementia? This should not be heat-of-the-moment brain cramp stuff, let alone two simultaneous ones. SOMEBODY (or both) stand on the bag - it's neither a landmine, nor made of kryptonite!
Swisher must sit!
This whole postseason thing seems to be moving a bit too fast for him. Blame Girardi all you want for the ALCS game 3 loss, but Swisher has been a one man rally-wrecking crew. Remember way back when Arod used to expand his strike zone in the post-season? The historically selective Swisher has done the same, except he lacks any other ability to bring to the table to even remotely make up for it. Maicer Izturis can get a runner home from 3rd with less than two out, but Swisher consistently fails -- his slow, stiff swing belying his relaxed persona, or the facade of a relaxed persona. In the rare instance that he is on the bases he seems to be making an effort to make Cano and Posada look good.
Roll Call!
Arod? Present.
CC? Present.
Mo? Present.
Jeter? Sick, but present.
Anyone else? Anyone? Hellooooooo ouuuuut therrrrrre.
