Harper says Cahman's fingers are behind the benching, despite the numbers Rodriguez has against Verlander this season. Bold is mone It was Cashman who made a point of being available to the media the minute the lineup was announced Tuesday afternoon, and Cashman did a lot more explaining of the thinking behind the moves than Girardi did. Finally, it was Cashman who said flatly that his eyes were telling him that it didn�t matter that A-Rod was 4-for-6 with two home runs against Verlander this season, not when he is 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts against righthanded pitching in this postseason.

Nice graph, but let's not put the Mets up there for either time period.

Talk about thinking outside the box.

Nicely played Wolf.....

Rodriguez just keeps on giving....... A-rod plays field Hits on gals at ALCS game By EMILY SMITH Last Updated: 7:50 AM, October 16, 2012 Posted: 3:36 AM, October 16, 2012 He�s got balls. Shameless Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez was playing so poorly against the Detroit Tigers Saturday night that he was yanked from the lineup � but that didn�t stop him from trying to score. After being replaced in the bottom of the eighth inning in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series, the highest-paid Yankee openly flirted with a pair of pretty women two rows behind the dugout � even sending them a ball bearing a note asking for their phone numbers, a witness told The Post. �I watched him flirt with two admittedly very cute young women nearby,�� the witness said. Instead of rooting on his teammates as they struggled to stay alive during the tense game at Yankee Stadium, A-Rod, 37, had a ball boy toss the young women a baseball inscribed with a message asking for their numbers. �Alex was holding a pen and wrote a note on a ball which was thrown at the women by a ball boy,�� the witness explained. �The girls, who had already caught two balls, seemed bemused at first and tried to hand the ball to another fan, but other fans noticed the note on it and yelled at them to read it. �The note asked them to write their phone numbers on the ball and throw it back,�� the witness said. �One of the girls, with darker blond hair, wrote . . . on the ball and threw it back at A-Rod, who gave her a big smile.� �They exchanged a few glances after that,�� as A-Rod took a powder while a pinch-hitter took his place at the plate. Raul Ibanez performed under pressure, tying the score in the bottom of the ninth. In the 12th, team captain Derek Jeter broke his ankle � and A-Rod finally wised up, the witness said. �The flirtation stopped once Derek Jeter got hurt,� the source said. The Yanks wound up losing 6-4. They also lost again to the Tigers 3-0 on Sunday. Fans sitting behind the dugout at Saturday�s game said they were disgusted after witnessing A-Rod�s shenanigans, which were more befitting a sixth-grader than a serious ballplayer. �I was absolutely stunned that even . . . A-Rod would not be focusing on such a critical game, supporting his teammates, and was instead more interested in adding another couple of phone numbers to what must be a very, very large collection,�� one said. A-Rod�s rep referred questions to a team spokesman, who didn�t get back to The Post last night. Rodriguez is currently dating wrestler Torre Wilson. As Page Six revealed last year, Jeter also has used baseball memorabilia to win over the ladies. After bedding a beauty, he�d send her home alone with gift baskets of autographed memorabilia. He is dating model Hannah Davis, who was spotted in his family box Saturday.

Rooting hard here for the Giants, screw Holliday, that was a dirty takeout,Scutaro is lucky his leg wasn't snapped. Loved when he got the hit and then Holliday kicked it.

Giants and Tigers

I wonder how many of these wonderful Mets fans are left, the quirky ones(I say that in a good way), the real characters like this lady.

Love you first line there FK........it's a joy to behold watching them lose. Leyland handled the closer question perfectly I thought, he's still my closer, we need him but he's getting a rest tonight,went with Coke and stayed with him, nice. As an aside, Olbermann has been claiming on twitter that he is NOT a MFY fan, only a costumer....the guy is nuts.

I guess it is not surprising , I've read a lot how most new restaurants in NYC rarely last more than two years, tough biz.

You look at the money left and marvel that the Red Sox got rid of their high earners and didn't eat anything. I can't see him going anywhere without most of the money being paid, like has already been stated.

Mike Morgan was in that series?, did he pitch in Game 7?

Putz didn't even want to be here IIRC, Omar had to sell him on the 8th inning role....it was going to solve all of the previous years pen problems, then Putz couldn't get up for the role.....

Rodriguez not in the starting nine is not good........we need him there, come on Joe.

Sugar is undervaluing himself if true.

But the 2007 Mets really could've used him. Plus, the money saved by not signing Bradford was used to sign...wait for it...Scott Schoeneweis. Omar really dropped the ball on that one.

Went to bed at the end of 12, saw Edgy's Facebook post this morning, chuffed. Douchebag doctor at work yesterday asking other doctor if he watched the Ibanez have " it was historic", I chimed in with " typical Yankees fan, every home run and win is historic".I mean,STFU.
