Yankees part 2

I needed the weekend to cool off after the loss to Detroit in Game 5 of the ALDS. I needed to cool off because I had many things that I would have said about the Yankees out of spite and emotion. I have had time to analyze the game and asess each situation. Yes Nova started off the game with back to back homeruns to Young and, Kelly. After that their was only one more run and it came from C.C Sabathia giving up a hit to Victor Martinez to score that run. How does a team as good as the Yankees not produce with loaded bases not once in the game but twice, and have nothing positive to show from it. The seventh inning of the game was the turning point. When Alex Rodriguez came up to bat with one out and loaded bases in the bottom of the seventh I thought it was gonna be game over. It was just for the Yankees because A-rod struck out to lose all hope. Texeria walked and that left Swisher to make something else of the inning, but he struck out too. I give all the credit to the tigers pitching staff. They got it done. However A-Rod has a lifetime batting average of .277 in the Playoffs but  this series he hit .111. I am not saying I could do better, but he should be able to. How are you Mr. baseball and Mr. Anti clutch at the same time. The best way i can put it is that A-rod must drive an automatic because he obviously can not handle the clutch. The season is not to blame because of Rodriguez, but my point is in 2012 do you want to have him as your 3rd baseman and waste that money to another post season destruction. Or do what the yankees do best and buy some other talented third baseman. As a yankee fan my dream would be to get rid of A-rod, and sign Hanley Ramirez from the Marlins. Within doing this I would move Jeter to 2nd base and move my favourite player, Robinson Cano to 3rd. With Texeria at 1st base that is your world series winning teram. If A-rod stays with the team, which he probably will, I hope he uses this off season to heal his injuries and get his head right and become clutch like he did in 2009, when they one the world series.
