I realize he doesnt love hitting off of left handers, but hes in the freaking big leagues, suck it up.

Did you watch any of the games?

It was a pretty close series. If Matsui doesnt golf that curveball in game 2 the entire series changes. When Boston swept the Cards a few years ago, that was a team that was clearly better than the other.

And 'suck it up"? Why would a guy be able to do something that he hasnt been capable of doing his whole career? He doesnt hit lefties. He wont ever hit them very well.
