How fitting that AROD strikes out LOOKING to end the ALCS

Will Yankee fans ever grow tired of seeing him become Mr. Not-Tober?

Way to go Rangers.

1. Best part of it.

Also, I love the ginger ale celebration for Hamilton.

Congrats Rangers.

4. The ginger ale just shows how much the team cares for each other.

I mean they could be asses and tell Hamilton to suck it up, but instead they act like a team together.

6. I liked his speech.

Humble, credited the team. He's good for baseball.

Congrats to your team, El Supremo. Well, well, WELL deserved.

7. Congratulations to the Rangers

if the Giants don't make it, I'll be rooting for them all the way.

NY papers should be fun tomorrow. A-Fraud is going to get roasted. Girardi's decisions will be questioned. Of course, when the dust finally clears, the Bankees will just go out and spend another 70 mil or so to make sure it doesn't happen again next year.

9. Yeah- the Cliff Lee to the Yankees

Talk was already pretty annoying. Maybe he'll want to sign with another team- like my Nats... :rofl: Okay a girl can dream right? And good bye Teixera. Enjoy that offseason ..

13. The thought of back-to-back Cy Young winners

who played for Cleveland now playing for the Yankees really, really hurts. Cleveland -- the pro club and their minor leagues -- developed and coached these guys to greatness. And Cleveland gets bupkis in return.

11. A-Rod

was the best player on the field in our championship run last year, so we are quite happy with him.

But anyway, congratulations to the Texas Rangers.

...did he take a swing at all? (Maybe he fouled one back, if I remember right?)

14. I think he fouled off a couple. I think he batted below the Mendoza Line in the ALCS though. n/t

16. And both are clean-up hitters to boot? Strange...

Howard didn't have a post-season RBI if I heard correctly.
