Sitting in a dance club I followed the game on the phone while the locals had on the Rays game. A bit disappointed with Pettitte giving up those two bombs but I really wanted to throw the phone into the wall with runners at 2nd & 3rd with one out and see Wells and Cruz fail. These teams playing the Yankees don't need an "A" game, by scoring 4 or more runs they know they have a lock. The Rangers are probably looking at the coming series with this team as a great way to make ground on Oakland. And instead of hearing about improvements we hear about A-rod. Who cares, that man will be a club house cancer and booed everywhere he goes.
We already know he's going to get booed in Texas. That's a given. But I am curious to see the kind of reception he gets on his 1st home game. I'm guessing it may start out good but after the 1st few outs (especially if its a K) I think it will turn to boo's real quick.
