This is all you need to know about the 2010 ALCS:
New York Yankees 2-23 with runners in scoring position and two outs.
Texas Rangers 8-24 with RISP and two outs.
Ouch!
Oh, yes, and then there’s this about the Rangers’ Game 6 drubbing of the Yankees: the Bronx Bombers needed a blown call by the umpires to score their only run.
The truth is, the Rangers thoroughly deserved to win this series over the ex-World Champions.
As they said in Brooklyn in 1956: Wait till last year.
Get yourself to a good doctor.
3 hits is nothing to be proud of, unless you’re a Mafia assassin. I believe that Lee will stay with Texas, rather than join the Yankees (especially if they win the World Series) where he can be the big lizard in a smaller dust bowl. I excuse Rivera, Cano & Granderson–everyone else is off my holiday card list. Jeter & Posada looked old, but I’m sure they’re bound to look younger next year. You do have to admire the Yankees’ patience at the plate, evidenced by their willingness to take 3 strikes. Cubs & Cards have selected their managers, so free-agent Girardi has no leverage and we have no choice.
See ya ’round the Hot Stove, Sheldon.
