Mr .400 something postseason average leads off the ninth, with his team down two...
"The two-two offering to Jeter...rocks and fires and a swing and a miss, strike three! Got him on the splitter!"
Right there you get a good feeling, if the splitter's working like
that...but
Roa's blown a bunch of games since August and one baserunner and suddenly the tying run's at the plate...
"Two balls and no strikes to Randy Winn...changeup and a big swing but he got under it! Fly ball to center field, camping under it is Wells and he makes the catch. Two down!"
With that out
Rodriguez can't win the game or even tie it. He can, however, keep it alive and put the tying run at the plate, or...
"The one-one pitch to Alex Rodriguez...swung on and bounced to the right side, Kennedy fields it, fires to first..."
And the
Pale Hose are going to the World Series.
THE PALE HOSE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!
