Alex Rodriguez (Mr. April - September) and the NY Yankees are at it again. In losing to the Cleveland Indians in 11 innings last night, the $220 Million a year Yankees have now lost...get this...11 out of their last 12 playoff games, and are 1 loss removed from a 3rd consecutive first round exit.In the two losses this week, the Yankees have amassed a grand total of 4 runs, while conceding 14. Dating back to the previous two division series in '05 and last year, A-Rod is now a staggering 3-for-35 (.086). Going further back, he is 4-for-50 since hitting a home run in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, and he doesn't have a single playoff RBI since then. He is 0-for-6 in the two losses this series, with only two Game 1 walks to show for his troubles.
Not exactly earning his keep, given that he's paid $25 Million a year, eh?
Two years ago he won the league MVP, and then went 0-for-everything in the playoff series loss. This year, he is likely to win the league MVP again, and he is matching his previous October performances stride for stride. A-Rod was once coveted by the Red Sox, who lost out to him in a furious bidding war prior to the Sox' 2004 World Championship season.
Wait...who lost out?
