And it all comes down to pitching.
As far as Tex goes, no one was saying anything when he went on that torrid streak, including 4-5 the other night. He takes an o-fer (in a game that they should have won) and all of a sudden everyones back out of the closet.
that was good , but , in the 9th against Peplebpon he came up empty 2 nights in a row with his team down 1 run - granted he hit the ball harddlast night in the final out , but , i'm beginning to think scuds is more and more right

tex may well win the MVP this year and the yanks may still go on and win the division , but, has he shown anyone here that he is a $20mm difference maker against the chief rival - no i don't think he has and until he does in a big spot with the game on the line and WINS or TIES a game in a big spot why should any of us think it's going to change in Oct?
