A-Rod = Bill Buckner?

That's harsh.

And Rod-Rage in New York.

So lets summarize the season:
He had the highest batting average on the team
The most home runs on the team
2nd most stolen bases on the team
The most RBIs on the team
And 6 other teammates hit into more double plays.

And it is his fault the Yankees didn't win their ALDS?

Heck, it is his fault that they even made it to the playoffs! He would have been better off if he tanked the last week and not made the post season.

I hate the Yankees, I hate A-Rod's salary, but he is one heck of a ballplayer!

not a big fan of him or his salary, but he more than made up for it by helping drag his team into the post season. And he took responsibility for sucking. Just bad timing to have a slump.

A-Rod stranded 7 runners during the ALDS - Sheffield stranded 17 and Matsui stranded 8 alone in Game 5. A-Rod is an easy target because of his contract but aside from Jeter, Posada and Giambi nobody else did much of anything.
