exposing A-Fraud!

Watching A-Rod every day, I can't argue that he's at his best in big money games. Even so, his reputation for being all-garbage time and no clutch is a little absurd. You can't put up the kind of numbers Mr. Rodriguez puts up without helping your team win. (And isn't it about time we all stopped holding his salary against him? It's not his fault Rangers owner Tom Hicks monumentally overpaid; any of us would have signed that contract, just like A-Rod.)

Anyway, I enjoyed seeing DJ Gallo take a sarcastic hack at A-Rod bashers in a story for espn.com's Page 2. Here's an excerpt:

In a division that is as uncompetitive as the AL East, games in late May mean absolutely nothing. Nope, only the postseason matters. And until A-Rod comes up huge in a World Series with the pressure on and single-handedly wins a championship for the Yankees, I won't believe in him. (Oh, and it has to be in Game 7 of the World Series against the Red Sox, or it won't count.)
