jens - more info please. These kind of clutch hitting stats can be an aberration. Maybe ARod hits into a double-play, with runners aboard, to end the game. That makes the nightly highlights. What they would not show is the 2-run HR he hit earlier in the game, to even keep his team in the game. A team fielding a lineup of 9 hitters with the same stats as ARod this year -- would have the best record in baseball.

drewo - i'm a devoted yankee fan, and have always stood up for arod. #1's right, unfortunately, and there is a stat that backs it up, one of the new stats the fantasy fags use. i think it's called whp(?), basically lost opportunity. he's at his lowest for a complete season. jeter gets a pass for life just for past deeds, and rings. arod is the best player in the game and needs to step it up when it counts.

#1: arod does well when it doesn't count jeter does well when it does Do you have statistics to back up that claim? Or are you just parroting the typical talk radio/tabloid blather.

A-rod makes $28 million, more than the entire Twins starting lineup.

Carl Pavano didn't get the win. He didn't pitch enough innings.
