124 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 A Rod is clutch FAR more than 124 is ever right about anything Your spew is getting very, very old. A-Rod in the postseason and against Boston is so dominant. I'm sorry that a decent outing overall against Tampa Bay is the deciding factor for you and some other blind Yankee faithful. A-Rod, cya. In a few weeks when we're in Boston, we'll discuss how good A-Rod is in clutch situations and games once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Not a really good comparison- 3 of Mays 5 playoff appearances (1951-He was a rookie) and (1971 and 1973-He was over the hill) occured when Mays was not in his primne. To subjectively take those years when mays clearly not the player he became, or the player that he was is inaccurate reporting. Very inaccurate. It is not comparabe with A-Rod. look at willie's playoff stats in his prime 1951 (6 games) 4/22, 4 singles, 1 run, 1 rbi 1954 (4 games) 4/14, 3 singles and 1 double, 1 rbi, 3 runs 1962 (7 games) 7/28, 5 singles and 2 doubles, 1 rbi, 3 runs he was rookie of the year in 1951 and mvp in 54, runner up mvp in 62. so basically you can go screw yourself pal.

Blackout Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 But those are just stats. They carry no meaning. how many game changing moments can one man have going 4/22 with 4 singles and 1 rbi in a six game series? stats dont mean everything, but they tell a tale. several star players have had horrible post seasons.

AFJF Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 have you ever seen Willie Mays's playoff record? its .247/.323/.337 yes, he SLUGGED .337 in the playoffs. thats not a typo. Mr. 660 hit 1 home run in 25 playoff games. so Mays must suck ass too, huh? how about Ty Cobb? or Ted Williams? what is Bonds's career playoff average? how many playoff games did Ernie Banks play? need i continue? david eckstein won a world series MVP. he must be better than A-rod. lets sign him next year! Sorry...I'm not a big excuse maker. The failure of players in the past has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that A-Rod goes in to the fetal position in the post season. I could care less about what some guy did 75 years ago who I never saw myslef. These could be guys who had poor numbers in the post season with fewer chances than A-Rod and for all I know they could have been hitting the ball well but to the wrong spots. A-Rod ****s the bed in big spots. I have no idea why so many people run to his aid to offer excuses and failures of past players as if it somehow makes his failures okay. As a Yankee fan I've had enough. I've seen all I need to see. He's a choke artist. Will he choke this year? I don't think so. I think he'll do well enough to get the Yankees to keep him, and then he'll tank in every big spot for the remainder of his contract. And please explain to me how the number of playoff games Ernie Banks played in has anything at all to do with this discussion? How many playoff games did A-Rod play in while he was in Texas? Was he terrible when he played there? That makes absolutely no sense at all to make that comaparison. One guy has established himself as a post season choker and the other played on teams that weren't good enough to get to the post season. It seems you're throwng out random facts that have nothing to do with the discussion. Eckstein? Who needs him. We have A-Rod..and if he comes up in a big spot after his next 0-41, he'll be do for a seeing eye single and we'll be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, You agree with me that he was a rookie in 1951. Do you think that is a LITTLE different than A-Rod in his prime? Other than his rookie year, you list 11 games. What a great sample size comparison you use there. Do you want nme to list all the NON HALL of FAMERS who did GREAT in the WS? Are they then, by your logic better players than A-Rod? That Marty Barrett, what a much better player than A-Rod. Josh Beckett. Darrell Porter. If you want to play a game of who can top A-Rod in playoff performances, I can go on all day. Don't just try to single out one HOFer who had a limited sampling size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharrow Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 You yankee fans are annoying in the way you take making the playoffs for granted so much. I hope you lose him after this year, and then just barely fall short of the playoffs next year. That would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If A-Rod walks and the Yankees don't make the post season next year I won't attribute it to losing him. With Mo around I'm sure the Yankees would still win as many games, they'd just do it scoring fewer runs. They'd have to win more games 6-3 instead of A-Rod making it 10-3. JMO of course.

GimmeShelter Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Your spew is getting very, very old. A-Rod in the postseason and against Boston is so dominant. I'm sorry that a decent outing overall against Tampa Bay is the deciding factor for you and some other blind Yankee faithful. A-Rod, cya. In a few weeks when we're in Boston, we'll discuss how good A-Rod is in clutch situations and games once again. April 3, 2007 -- A TRANSFORMATION is taking place. Now Alex Rodriguez just has to let himself evolve into this new A-Rod before it's too late. This one is sleeker and still remains the best show in town. Love him or hate him - and many of you do hate him, only to turn around and love him again when he homers - Rodriguez will be missed when he opts out, simply because he is always in the middle of the action, always a great show.
