From Friday’s New York Times front page after the Yankees basically blew their ALDS series vs. the Detroit Tigers:
Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees struck out to end the game
Friday’s dead-tree edition, by contrast, featured a photo of Rodriguez after he struck out with the bases loaded in the 7th.
No question A-Roid failed to come through in the clutch. Then again, that’s true of most of the other Yankees as well.
Plenty of blame to go around.

Pretty good ratings for TBS nationwide, and spectacular in Deetroit: 27.6; but in NYC: only 18.3. Maybe Gothamites knew what was coming and tuned elsewhere.
