Yankees Lose?

I am still trying to recover from the Yankees loss yesterday against the Cleveland Indians. I was hoping that Bobby Abreu's homerun in the bottom of the ninth would encourage the Yankees to hit better. When it was 6 to 4 Indians, I was like I feel a walk off hit from the Yankees. The Yankees have been in this situation many times and when the game was important they did come through and win the game. I really wanted Alex Rodriguez to hit a homerun in his last at bat, but I guess that is too much to ask for.
I was very disappointed in the captain of the New York Yankees, Derek Jeter. I couldn't believe that he hit into so many double plays, it was a horrible nightmare. In one instance when the Yankees looked like they were going to score a lot of runs, Derek hits into a double play. I really wanted Joe Torre to take him out of the lineup. He was so horrible. In my mind I called him Captain Flop instead of Captain Clutch. I also had high hopes for Alex Rodriguez, but he didn't even bruise the Cleveland Indians. All he did was strike out, pop out, and ground out. I hope Joe Torre continues managing the Yankees, and if he doesn't I will stop watching baseball. If Steinbrenner fires him, then he will realize that the Yankees will lose a lot of fans that adore Joe Torre. He has taken the Yankees into the post season so many times that it would be unfair to replace him. I also think that Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, and Mariano Rivera will leave because Torre has been with them in most of their baseball career.
As I watched Jorge Posado strike out and the Cleveland Indians celebrate, I was so shocked. My heart literally dropped because I watched the Yankees throughout the season. I saw their struggles, and I also watched them succeed. I supported them for two years, and I hope that Joe Torre stays with the Yankees.

ARod is a good player, but I was very dissapointed from his new moral image.
