Just wait for the first Yankees-Red Sox series. If ARod stinks it up then, the New York media will be all over him again.

 

The better he does now, the more they'll be pissed if he doesn't come up huge "when it matters."

Giambi was safe, I'll never be convinced otherwise.

Stupid visual evidence.

 

Is his glove touching the leg there? Jeter's fat foot is hiding the truth.

Giambi didn't argue the call... that should tell you that he was out. Plus I'm pretty sure he has said that he was out in later interviews.

 

As close as it was, I'm not sure he would really know. And the fact that someone didn't argue a call doesn't persuade me that the call was correct.

 

I wish there were a clear picture that showed either the foot on the plate w/o the glove touching it or vice versa.

I can't think of one time when a bad call was made in a close game, let alone a close game in the playoffs, and the victim of the bad call didn't argue it. Even if Giambi thought it was a tie, I'm sure he would've disputed it.

Giambi is a stoned, laid-back, surfer dude from California. He didn't care enough to argue. Plus, all the steroids have numbed his nerve endings so he couldn't tell anyway.

 

Either that, or Jeter's clutch aura just convinced Giambi that arguing wasn't worth it.

ARod is just setting himself up for a huge fall if he dares to not destroy the Red Sox in all 19 games this year, and doesn't destroy the Mets in any series with them. He better go 50 for 50 in those ABs with 70 HRs and 800 RBIs or he'll be lynched.

 

To the writers in NY, it's still spring training. The acknowledge other teams, but the only teams worth talking/writing about are the Red Sox/Yankees/Mets.

If we're talking a matter of less than a second, would he really know if his foot was down before the glove hit his leg? He had to know the ball beat him, so maybe he assumed (as many people do) that the tag beat him too. I don't know - but to say "he didn't argue, so the call must have been right" is just not very persuasive.

okay, well maybe you'll find "he admitted to a reporter that he was out" more persuasive.

Arod with another non-clutch game winning homerun today.

I just wish the yankee's would realize how much he sucks and just unload him. Do they need any left handed bullpen help?
