JUST TRY THAT IN THE O.C.!
So the Sox and Yankees are having a legitimately great series. The good baseball distracts me from the sting of the Lads' failure, but I got to thinking about it this morning and it made me sad.
Sad that Vlad can't be performing on a national stage for the first time, or K-Rod in a reprise. That Chone Figgins doesn't get a chance to play in an ALCS as a real player and not a Designated Runner.
But I'm also sad because I would have loved to see A-Rod try that ball-swapping crap on any Angel pitcher.
I mean, seriously, can you see him trying to do that to Frankie? Frankie would have been the pitcher in the eighth inning if it were Halos/Yanks. K-Rod would have knocked Mr. $25M on his ass if he tried to do that. Just remember Kid K blocking home plate, and tell me he lets A-Rod swap at the ball like a little wuss.
And he wouldn't have been in, but I don't think Percival takes that crap, either. And if Erstad has fielded the ball, forget it.
However, Colon never woulda gotten to the ball, so I guess he's the exception.
