A-Rod has pretty amazing company

Marc's post loses some weight when the post before it, written by a Jeter fan and A-Rod hater, praises A-Rod and points out that the worst Yankee this postseason has been Derek Jeter.

By the way, on October 17, 2004, in the top of the 3rd inning of game 4 of the ALCS vs. the Boston Red Sox, Alex Rodriguez hit a two-run home run. Since then, he is 6 for 54 with zero RBIs in the postseason.

As soon as Jeter has that kind of postseason futility, I promise I'll point out what a choke he is. I'd imagine the New York media might also let you know. But to be clear, Derek Jeter has been HORRIBLE in this series so far.

Roger Clemens very well could be the greatest pitcher of all-time, but I, too, am glad to see him off the roster, even if it means the addition of Ron Villone. Clemens was the worst signing in the history of baseball (at least financially) and the ultimate symbol of Yankee front-office decisions that have kept the team from winning the past few years. That's why it's so encouraging to see all the young players they haven't traded away for has-been pitchers.

This core of young players has the same feel as the Bernie-Posada-Jeter-Rivera crew that all came up together and created a dynasty.
