He has very few saves over 1 inning as well and it's pretty well known that he has made it clear that he will not come in during the 8th inning. It's a shame he has the record, because I don't even rate him as a top 10 all-time closer. [146] I’m with you.

Kind of weird way to end a season, especially a 15 inning game. [145] So did he go around? Kind of weird way to end a season, especially a 15 inning game.

She was a big fan of A-rod until all that stuff came out about him cheating on his wife with Madonna. She stopped wearing her A-rod shirt that she bought in NY last year. So, early this year I asked her if she would ever wear that shirt again and her response was that if he hit a grand slam she would (he might have been up with the bases loaded at the time and thus the request). When they showed his number of career grand slams I told her that she would be wearing that shirt again soon. Ever time after that when he would come up with the bases loaded I would bring up the bet. Remember the one against the Twins where he got robbed? I couldn't believe it. I had given up on it (I think he had something like 20 ab's with the bases loaded this year with no homers). I can't believe he did it on his last ab of the regular season.

Pettitte had a $5.5 million base salary, earned $3 million based on innings and $2 million for staying on the active roster the entire season.

Beltran = 273/286. he can certainly hit 27 homers and steal 14 bags, but i'm guessing it'll take him 2 seasons. he should end up in though...
