If New York manages to storm back from a 3-0 series deficit, it won't be CC Sabathia on the hill for a deciding Game 7. Blame it on the rain.
Game 4 of the AL championship series between the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees has been postponed by bad weather in the area -- although Comerica Park itself was still dry when the game was called.
Derek Jeter had scans on Sunday which confirmed the fracture. He has not accompanied the Yankees in Detroit. His recovery was initially expected to take three months, but that timetable is now longer.
Alex Rodriguez has been benched again by manager Joe Girardi, who also dropped center fielder Curtis Granderson from the starting lineup while trying to avoid elimination on Wednesday.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has denied that such a trade has been discussed, and other sources have said that talks between the Bombers and the Miami Marlins are premature at best.
The Yankees simply have virtually nobody who can hit. Down three games to none after a 2-1 defeat to Detroit, the Yankees are down and out. The fall has been quick and precipitous.
CC Sabathia inspires belief. And that's exactly what the Yankees are in desperate need of going into Game 4 of the ALCS down 3-0.
Tim Leuzarder said he wasn't entirely sure the ball came from A-Rod, but it sure seemed that way.
WFAN co-host Craig Carton let A-Rod have it -- and he was just getting started. Yankees sluggers? More like Yankees slumpers.
The Yankees' backs are against the wall, but it takes four games to win -- a fact New York knows all too well.
As has been the case throughout the 2012 ALCS, the Tigers beat the Yankees.
Justin Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 Tuesday night for a 3-0 lead in the AL championship series.
It's the second time that A-Rod has been benched this postseason. He's 3-for-26 in the playoffs so far, and is 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handers.
"I just have to go out there and pitch, that's all it boils down to," Hughes said. "(I can't) really worry about being down 0-2 or that Verlander is on the mound or that we don't have our captain. Those sorts of things are going to be wasted energy."
Though he's not so great at the wave, Donald Trump knows how to deliver a stinging critique.
There were times this year when Justin Verlander took the mound while his team was reeling a bit -- and the right-hander's presence was Detroit's best shot at snapping out of a momentary funk.
Jeter reportedly first experienced left ankle issues in early September, and he exacerbated the area with the foul tip in mid-September. He was also said to have injured the same ankle, in a different place, in the last game of the regular season.
An MRI on Derek Jeter's lower leg did not show extensive ligament damage, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman reported. However, surgery is "likely" for the iconic shortstop.
Nobody wants a player of Cano's ability to get himself thrown out of a game, but could he at least show us he has a pulse?
"This is a very easy place to play now," said Tigers outfielder Quintin Berry, according to a report. "Coming from Oakland, the fans there were so rowdy. It was easier to come here."
Uh-oh. There's trouble in paradise. Hurt by jabs, jeers and insults from the home crowd, off-and-on fan favorite Swisher acknowledged Sunday he wasn't much in the mood for roll call at Yankee Stadium.
"The technology is available," said Girardi. "That's what our country has done. We have evolved technology to make things better. Yeah, let's have instant replay. And not just, not just home run, fair, foul. Let's have instant replay."
If Derek Jeter's on-field mortality indeed represents the death of Yankee dominance, then you can still say it was one helluva run. No matter when the end, all empires fall, even Evil ones.
The manager doesn't believe in panicking. The locker room doesn't believe in panicking. But if ever there was a time for it, with Derek Jeter done and the Yankees' hitters as lost as lost can be, this is it.
This team is begging for leaders, and Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano are the next in line. If they have it in them, they will be in line to receive the spoils of Yankee greatness. It not, this season will be over in just a couple days.
