Mi teoría es que A-Rod siempre ha sido un gran bateador, un gran productor y sencillamente no había tenido buena suerte en playoffs anteriores. Pero la teoría de David Wells, el ex lanzador de los Yankees, es mucho más interesante.
Chris Rolfe había abierto el marcador para Chicago a los 17 minutos y Emmanuel Osei lo empató en el tiempo extra del primer período.
El partido de vuelta se jugará el sábado en el Toyota Park de Chicago.
Pensaba que sí, pero no estaba totalmente seguro. Lo que dije fue más o menos así: "El juego que tienen que ganar es el de esta noche porque yo dudo que Jon Lester y Josh Beckett lancen mal dos veces. Es por eso que tienen que aprovechar el 'momentum' y ganarle a (Daisuke) Matsuzaka".
Cuando se trata de ir a la Serie Mundial de béisbol nada es fácil, pero cuando la empresa comprende ganarle a los Medias Rojas de Boston, entonces las cosas pueden ser lo más cercano a lo imposible.
