Yankees 16-year veteran Alex Rodriguez pulled off a huge ninth inning hit to seal the win. After Damon singled and stole second and third it was time for a big hit to disrupt the tied game. A-Rod doubled to left field and was later hit in. The Yankees won 7 to 4. This put the team one win away from winning the World Series, something they have not done since 2000. A-Rod has been the big story in post season play as he came out of a 8 for 56 postseason. He has been getting the key hits and Manager Girardi believes he is the reason they have gotten so far. Errors by Utley, Phillies second baseman, helped the Yankees to victory. Relief pitching has been a problem for the Phillies. The next games will be tough as the Yankees hope to take the title away from the defending champions.
It is always a good thing for a professional player to perform well, but there is something about A-Rod that I just do not like. He did not perform well in regular season, so I wonder why he even played as much as he did. I feel as though A-Rod is a Yankee for publicity and not skill level. However, his post season performances are quite impressive recently. A-Rod was caught using seroides earlier in the season. This does not exactly scream out hero to me. A-Rod is improving, but needs to prove to me that he is worthy of being a hero before declared one in my mind. With that, I am rooting for the Phillies to pull off an upset over the Yankees. Being down 3 games to 1 the thrill of playing a 7th game in the World Series would be great. I am not especially fond of the Yankees. Go Phillies!!
My opinion differs from Alexa Goetsch's view on the Yankees situation. http://goetsch.blogspot.com/
