TAKE HIM TO DETROIT!

I guess all the laughing at the RedSox has come back to haunt us.

This 5 game series against the Detroit Tigers should have been a sure path to the grand prize, what we strive for every year as NY Yankee fans and if we don't obtain that goal the season is deemed a complete failure, like the 2011 season.

Yes we won the AL East, had the best record in the American League with home field advantage throughout the playoffs but while Detroit is no easy win we had them in our house only down 1 run with runners in scoring positions almost every inning with our "go to guys" up at the plate.

It was like being tortured by Jack Bauer is the only way to describe each nail biting inning.

How can I not address the A-ROD situation.  These moments are why you are paid the ludicrous money.   Granted he has been off due to nagging injuries throughout the year but that is no excuse for not being able to hit a fly ball to get a run in with the bases loaded or a single, yes we all expect the long ball from him, any kind of hit would have won the game.  This goes for Nick Swisher too!

We lost because we could not get that hit and out of all the pitchers to shut us down it was Benoit, I mean c'mon really?

Another year of listening to Yankee haters say "You see you can't buy a championship" and while that is true to a point I am sure we will be opening up the check book in the off season to "fix" the problem.  27 World Series will have to do for now.

One of my favorite quotes from the cult classic Kentucky Fried Movie.."Take Him to Detroit!"

Shine On!
