Fan Interference is either a troll or a fool.
Only one or the other would declare losing to be unacceptable in a game where even the best team loses 40% of its games.

No, I just bleed Pinstripes. Who is more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows it?

What’s the worse thing that happens? A-Rod gets thrown out stealing 2nd, and Gardner scampers home to tie the game? The more likely scenario is that they don’t even throw to 2nd base and A-Rod walks into 2nd.

The grounders wasn’t hit hard. it was routine.

We call that ‘grasping for straws’.

A-Rod absolutely cannot steal there unless he is 100% sure he will be safe. And how could you ever really be THAT sure? If he gets thrown out, then there are now 2 outs and you can no longer use a sac fly to tie the game. I think Cano got lulled by the long at-bat and forgot to put the ball in the air. A fly ball ties it. That’s all he had to do. Oh well, we’ll get em next time.

Cano’s AB was abysmal. He got like 8 pitches out of the zone and didn’t hack at two of them. He could have easily loaded the bases for Jorge, but no. This is Robinson Cano. hackhackhackhackhackhackhack. I would have been stunned if he had gotten a hit.

Fan Interference,

This is the some of the worst drivel I’ve ever read. It’s embarrassing. Just stop.

There’s no way you can criticize either A-rod for taking a walk, or Cano for failing in a nine pitch at-bat. But there’s no excuse for going into the ninth with only one run on the board against the Nats (although Lanon did pitch well, so you gotta tip your cap).

“Man, the whining from some of you today has reached new heights.”

Ugh, the only thing worse than the trolls are SJ’s patronizing posts that also clog up the blog.

BTW, I didn’t think Cano ran hard, either.
