HE CANT TAKE THE HEAT.
i bet he plays better on the road though.
absolutely agreed. just like JG said, "NY can ruin careers". in my humble opinion, it's a curse from the devil. if A-Rod was still a SS from any other team I'd keep a poster of him in my bedroom. now, Uncle George buyed and buried him.
last night, though, it was just not his fault. Rogers was on fire. half of his stuff was out of the zone??? then why all that millionaire all stars kept swinging??? also, if the Yankees had picked Rogers in the offseason, he'd be either on the DL or on waivers right now, after a 5-11, 6.00 ERA season. but last night was HIS night I think. he was better than when he pitched a perfect game!
