Well it's pretty much accepted that AROD is a post-season choke. We all know he's overpaid. The question is whether Tex is also tending that way(it's not like he was knocking in Halos in the post against Boston.) Against quality playoff pitching, I don't see him as a tough out(20 mil/year star should be.) The Wednesday Night at bat against PAP is a great example. He tried to pull that pitch. Won't work. To me, the Phils have at least 3 good hitters that would have been able to go with that pitch the other way. Those are good post season hitters. I do wish Gales would have waited until the post to talk about Tex. GALES, don't be making trouble.

So are you saying that ARods hit the other night was not a clutch hit because it wasn't the playoffs?

First off I didn't ask you but I guees you two share one thought.

So if their hits that drive in go ahead runs in the 7th inning don't count as clutch because it isn't a playoff game then why are they choking when they don 't get the hit? It's not a playoff game so who cares.

You can't have it both ways. If it's not clutch when they get the hit, they can't be choking when they don't if it's not the playoffs, according to you two.

the bottom line was 3-26 with men in scoring position or something like that the entire team was over the 3 game series with boston - everyone wants to talk pitching, but, when the team does this it ain't good , yes a-rod got a CLUTCH hit last night , but they didn't get eneough runs that's the bottome line

They aren't going to score 6 runs every night. You can't blow leads after the 7th on a consistant basis and keep blaming the offense.

could have gone to "MO" in the 8th after the hit made it 3-2 with 2 on no out , let him get 6 outs , and get a win in boston , if your are going to lose at least go down with your best shot on the mound

O.K., because AROD got 1 clutch hit against Boston, it means TEX n' AROD are gunna drive in runs in the post. Now I see.
