Check out the difference in run support both received. And I think Sabathia lost a few one run games.

As much as I'd like to jump on the "Beckett got robbed" bandwagon, I can see why they made the choice they did.

Personally, I'm glad Sabathia pitched more regular season games. It seemed to work in our favor when it really mattered.

Now how do I go about trying to accept the fact that A-Rod may be Boston when all is said and done (Man, I hope they sign Lowell, but I'm not optimistic!)?

From what I understand, rumors are flying around NY and WFAN that A-Rod told Boras to go pound sand and is trying to broker a back-door deal with the Yankees using an "unidentified third party".

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Do you think that Boras and A-Rod just have a handshake deal on representation?

We have a couple of real estate agents who post here--ask them what happens if you sign a listing agreement giving them the exclusive right to market your house over the next 90 days, and then turn around and sell it on your own during that time frame

A-Rod will likely owe Boras his percentage, and by signing for less money, he's really shooting himself in the foot.
