ALDS Game 5: A-Rod not in starting lineup.

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 17:48:05 -0400

ALDS Game 5: A-Rod not in starting lineup.:

So Alex Rodriguez, who was dropped two spots in the batting order yesterday and has been pinch hit for in the ninth inning in each of the last two games, is not in the starting lineup for this evening’s do-or-die Game 5. Robinson Cano is batting third, Mark Teixeira is hitting cleanup, and Raul Ibanez will DH and hit fifth. (Eric Chavez gets the start at third; he’ll bat ninth.).

GAME 5!

Bummer. :(

With all the news and sports reporters saying Mariano is done for the season after tearing his ACL, and possibly his career.. Whether or not he pitches again, here’s hoping to a speedy recovery for Mo.

"Mark Teixeira looked down at his feet Saturday night and realized something wasn’t quite right...."

“

Mark Teixeira looked down at his feet Saturday night and realized something wasn’t quite right. Instead of his own familiar No. 25 socks, he had a 25 on one foot—and a No. 52 on the other. One of CC Sabathia’s socks had found its way into Teixeira’s locker.

No big deal, he thought. He shrugged and left the sock on.

Two Teixeira home runs, six RBI and a historic Yankee comeback later, a new superstition was born. Teixeira and Sabathia have been swapping socks ever since, each going into battle wearing a 25 on one foot and a 52 on the other for good luck.
