147. I’d take a robot.

Seriously, though…don’t get me wrong, I love A-rod. I’m glad he’s on the team.

I’d just rather have Matsui coming to the plate with bases loaded at the bottom of the ninth.

146. Crap: Now I can't get that *!@# Knack song out of my head.

(singing) My Es-ca-lona! Whoo! Muh-muh-muh my Escalona...

145. I dont want a robot, but I'd prefer it if his second half RISP numbers didn't suck so hard.

143. A-Rod's 900+ OPS with RISP or Close and Late over the last 3 years, contradicts the astute observations of some broadcasters.

I mean, do you people want a robot, who always gets the big hit no matter what? Manage your expectations already.

142. Jeez, they just said the same thing on YES. Bases loaded, bottom of the ninth in Game 7 of the World Series, you'd want Matsui, Sheffield, or Jeter at bat. A-rod "tries too hard."

141. Yes, this game was as nerve-wracking as I expected...but not, as I had expected, because of Leiter. He done good tonight.

140. Phillips should take Woe's spot on the roster.

139. Escalona just earned himself a place in Torre's old boys club.

138. Damn, that was a good game - and I give much praise to Al Leiter, who gets his fair share of critism from people, esp. me. He pitched very well today.

137. Wow, I have no idea how that happened, and I know that Torre will now have total, complete, and irrational trust in Escalona and he will stay on the team no matter what (maybe he will bump Womack?) but I'll take that hit anytime!

136. The worst hitter (with apologies to a Mr. Womack) on the team did what A-Rod and others haven't been able to do: gotten a clutch hit with 2 outs.

WOW what a story.

135. Well done. Cleveland won 5-4, Sox are winning 5-0 in the 7th over the Royals, and Baltimore has scored 4 in the 9th to make it 7-6 Angels (gotta keep an eye on them, in case the A's go on another role). We had to win tonight, and we did. Makes staying up worth it.

134. and unfortunately, Cleveland ended up winning that game - still, TB will be a tough series for them - TB has the second best record in the majors after the ASB (Oak is #1)

132. Oakland lost, Cleveland won, Boston won. This was a much needed win.

131. holy shit, if that would have happened against Boston in a playoff Escalona would have earned a middle name

130. And Escalona has redeemed the name Felix in Yankee-land...

128. Don’t tell me that Ecalona isn’t clutch.
