I guess the problem was We dont Have anyone else!!!
I'm proud of my team though I REALLY wanted to win and also a better outing. Its just ashame our offense had to slump so bad because the Yanks were very hittable.
And yes.. from the beginning of the thread.. I'd still take Ruiz over Posada and Howard over Tex (though Howard stunk) any day.

I know he really did nothing with his bat. And if they would have lost, he would have been public enemy #1 (maybe #2 behind Girardi). But the amount of errors/runs that he saved with his glove during the entire playoffs is amazing. He was tremendous defensively. I could cringe think about these playoffs with Jason Giambi at first base.
