Anyone else notice that Matt Holliday might be the least clutch fielder in the history of MLB? He starts making rookie mistakes whenever he is in the playoffs.

It was a dirty slide but looked worse than it actually was, due to Holliday being a giant compared to Scutaro.

That was all Hank. What makes it worse, was that when A-Rod opted out, he said that he was not going do give him a new deal and were leting him walk. Then Hank comes back with that deal. I bet if Hal was running things at that time, none of this nonsense would have gone down like that (he would had let him walk).

The New York Post says A Rod was openly flirting with a fan after being taken out of game 1. The story is below in the spoiler.

[Show spoiler]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 Torrie 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.

And right when I thought A-Rod couldn't hurt his rep any worse... Hey A-Rod, Jeter scores the babes AND he comes up big in the postseason.

LOL, I think I'd be pissed off at my "teammate" (who happens to be being paid an insane amount of money for sucking ass) doing that kind of crap far more than two officers wanting autographs.

As unpredictable and inconsistent our offense has been, it wouldn't put it past us to tee off on Verlander tonight and then disappear against a nobody tomorrow.

Gardner LF
Ichiro RF
Tex 1B
Cano 2B
Ibanez DH
Martin C
Chavez 3B
Granderson CF
Nunez SS

Benching Swish I agree with. A-Rod has very good numbers against Verlander, but has been lost at the plate lately. Although the offense has been atrocious the Yankees CAN beat Verlander. Gardner and Nunez have speed if they get on, but Gardner hasn't hit the ball in a while and is going up against one of the best pitchers in the game. We are the underdogs now so all the pressure is on the Tigers to wrap things up. If we can pull out a win tonight we have CC going tomorrow with a chance to tie the series. One game at a time.

You can tell the Yankees really want to get rid of A-Rod though. To bench him against a guy who he has good numbers against, in a game that’s almost like an elimination game. The blood cannot be good between Girardi and A-Rod right now. Girardi must have received praise from the brass to make this decision.

Statistically A-Rod has done better as a DH this year. I would have considered him in the DH spot tonight adding to the fact his numbers against Verlander.

Nunez at short is a huge gamble. Any ball that is hit his way I will hold my breath, lol.
