Arod And CC Are The Kings Of October

Alex Rodriguez homered in his 3rd straight game after he blasted one deep into the night in last night's game.

A. Rodriguez is on a serious tear as he now has 3 home runs in the ALCS, and 5 in 7 games played for the 2009 post season.

Alex was 3 for 4 in last night's game four, he clubbed a solo home run driving in 2 runs.

He has been everything that GM Brian Cashman has hoped for when he made the trade for him back in 2004.

Arod has been bashed so many times, that you have to respect how he has regained his position as the greatest player in the game.

Regardless of what happens from this point on what he has done so far in this post season can be compared to players such as Mickey Mantle or Babe Ruth.

The man is reaching legendary status off some of the best performances of his career.

New York got another outstanding outing from one of their starters which is starting to become a routine this October.

CC Sabathia is 3-0 for the 2009 playoffs after throwing 8 innings in last night's game while allowing only one run on 5 hits.

CC pitched on 3 days rest to defeat the Angels in games one, and four, and if needed is in line for game 7.

CC has been brilliant there is not much else to say other than he is the best pitcher in the game right now.

Coming into New York as a free agent there has to be so many expectations, and he has answered everyone of them.

Chances are this could be it as the Yankees have are up 3 games to 1.

The Yankees needed to put runs up on the board, and that is exactly what they did.

After a loss in extra innings it is vital to bounce back, and they responded in a big way scoring 10 runs on 13 hits.

New York has to be riding high as more players are starting to contribute to their offense as they came through.

Melky Cabrera was 3 for 4 in last night's game with 4 RBI, he is very unpredictable, but when he plays well it definitely pays off in a big way.

LF Johnny Damon seems to be finding his power stroke after homering in his 2nd straight game, he finds a way to get it done when it counts.

J. Damon now has 9 career post season HR's, and is looking to help New York to a 27th championship.

The Yankees went into the game after accusations toward Mariano Rivera from the Angels that he was spitting on the ball because of how he has dominated their hitters.

I think if M. Rivera was a cheater someone somewhere over the years would have figured it out.

I think it is time that the Los Angeles Angels showed some class the way New York did when they knocked them out of the playoffs in 2002, and 2005.

Just accept the fact Mariano Rivera is the greatest closer who has ever lived, when you find me a closer that can duplicate what he has done in October then you can argue with me.

What makes the man is the fact that he was the main reason for four championships, how many closers do you know that can impact a team like that?

Game 5 will kick off on Thursday at 7:57 pm eastern time as the Angels facing elimination will give the ball to John Lackey who lost game one.

J. Lackey could be very tough if he is on, but if he struggles with his location again it could be a long night for him.

The Yankees will throw A.J. Burnett who hasn't earned a decision yet, but has been incredible.

A.J. has proved he can handle the pressure, it should be a great game as the Yankees are prepared for another upcoming World Series battle if they can defeat the Angels one more time.
