For someone who batted .167 in the playoffs, Dustin Pedroia thinks that the Fenway grounds crew is to blame for the Red Sox loss:
“I’m not lying about that. That is true. I think about those things. That stuff upsets me,” Pedroia said. “My job is to take 1,000 groundballs a day. Other guys’ job is to get the field perfect so we can play baseball.”
You stay classy you douchebag.
On a lighter note, the Yankees are thinking about going to a three man rotation for the ALCS. That would mean CC could pitch games 1, 4 and 7. But, because of where the days off land that would mean only pitching on short rest once. This certainly helps the Yankees but in no way means this series is a lock. The Angles are a dangerous team… but not as dangerous as the Fenway grounds crew.
I just couldn’t leave the below post at the top of SLT while the Yankees were starting their playoffs. Everyone should watch out for A-Rod this post season. He is going to squash all the rumors about him being clutch and I can’t wait.
I know there is a 2:37 game today but let’s be honest, the people in Philly and Colorado don’t really care that much about that game… or is that East Coast bias? Who cares.
Here is a link to a position-by-position breakdown (via LoHud) of the Twins/Yankees series. Why do it when someone else has done it and did it better?
I am nervous about this game. Twins are coming off a SICK run to get into the playoffs and the Yankees haven’t played a meaningful game in 3+ weeks. On the other hand CC Sabathia will be going against Brian Duensing so we got that going for us.
One quick thing that I want to say to Posada: “quick bitching about Molina catching Burnett. Whatever gives the Yankees the best chance to win you should be on board with.”
