I know it is tough, but see if you can do it. Now imagine Jason Bay at the plate with runners on second and third and 2 outs, the Pirates down 4-3. You don't have to imagine Jason Bay watching a called third strike on a 1-2 count, because that is what he always does. What would Zimm's reaction to this be? I'm sure he would be supporting Jason Bay as he always does in these situations. Now think back to 1990, 1991, or 1992 when Barry Bonds was in the same type of situation and flied out to shallow left field or grounded out to second base. How did you react? I'm sure a polite golf clap followed by a "Oh well, he was great in the regular season" was all that was said, right? Zimm gets pissed about Jason Bay sucking for a team that loses 90+ games every year, his head would explode if Bay had an OPS of .350 in a playoff series. Or he would drink a bottle of Captain and pass out by 9:45. -------------------- Please do not take the above post to mean that I think Derek Jeter is a better baseball player than Alex Rodriguez.

Funny, but I seem to remember Zimm motherfucking Moronelli up and down this past weekend because he sucked against Michigan. That was a game that mattered a whole helluva lot more than FIU or Buffalo, wasn't it? Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio State are defacto playoff games in the Big Ten for Penn State, because if you don't win those games, you have no shot at a championship, or a BCS game. Fitting that regular season is all that matters around here, I mean, there is no fucking hope for the Pirates ever getting to the postseason, so I guess 75 wins really would be the summit. -------------------- Please do not take the above post to mean that I think Derek Jeter is a better baseball player than Alex Rodriguez.

Not all of us blamed Bonds as being unclutch. and for the record, clutch in baseball and clutch in football are two different things. The bottom line is that these are all small sample sizes, it doesn't mean Bonds then or ARod now are not clutch. And as for not coming through in the playoffs, in neither case was it because the player wasn't trying or because he didn't perform up to his abilites. Both players simply had (a) bad series against a set of pitchers that played a great game and handled them unlike most pitchers throughout the season. I still think it's absurde that the media makes it out to be an ARod versus Jeter thing. As for right now, I'm just hoping that the Yankees can make up the 2 games and pass the Red Sux. I'm also willing to bet that ARod will have a better OPS in this year's post-season than will Jeter.

So you attribute ARod's decline in post season production to a decline in talent much like we've seen in Matt Morris? And the reason Yankee fans and everyone should care about what ARod did as a Mariner in the playoff is because the sample size as a Yankee is too small. Don't you get that?

He's had a grand total of 79 at bats as a Yankee in the playoffs. 50 of those came in 2004 and he put up these numbers: .320/.413/.600/1.013 So you're crucifying the guy over 29 fucking atbats between 2005 and 2006 playoffs

I'm President Charlie! Group: Members Posts: 6,979 Member No.: 37 Joined: 8-May 07 Warn: (0%)	The reason people are arguing about small sample size is if ARod goes 3/4 with a HR and a BB in the first game of the playoffs he basically doubles his postseason OPS as a Yankee. If he does it 2 games in a rowhe and Jeter are neck and neck. Now the odds of the guy going 3/4 with a HR in each game are extreme based on his performance this year, but it could happen. edit: - without checking myself I was basing this on the numbers earlier in the thread which left out the 2004 season - whoops - for the record, my example of 3/4 with a BB and a HR would jump his Yankee OPS .080 -------------------- "Baseball, it is said, is only a game.

The Pirates have been wasting my time and money since 1992.

Mvk is making a late season push to throw his hat into the ring to take the prize home this offseason. I love the "how many postseason ABs do you think people get in their careers" argument. That makes a lot of sense. And anyway, he carried the Yankees in the 2004 playoffs to the tune of a 1.014 OPS while Jeter was contributing a .686 mark. Just because they lost, it wasn't his fault. -------------------- The Pirates are like the token hot-and-crazy chick that you shouldn't date, and you know it, but you can't help yourself.
