A-rod may leave because he may have done all he can possibly do with the Yankees, which is now officially a team in transition on a whole number of levels. If you're A-rod, why deal with it? He can have the same level of success and more personal comfort in a place like Anaheim, with less stress and an equally good shot at the postseason. Plus the Angels need a bat.
I'm a bit surprised the Yankees went out in this round. But not shocked. Alot of fans thought Cleveland was the road less travelled but the Tribes time may have come. Instead of firing Torre, I think the Boss should can BRAIN Ca$hman instead. Doing the Clemens deal was a deal with the devil and the Texas Con Man delivered in vintage Clemens fashion.
Bugs in Cleveland. There was alot talk about it and at times I thought Jabba Chamberlain was a bee-keeper. Crazy stuff, but the bugs were there for both teams.
Boston vs. Cleveland. It would be nice if the Red Sox reach the WS again. But if it's the Tribe's year, so be it. They haven't won since '48, and I like Trot Nixon and Kelly Shoppach. It's like a stress free ALCS!
