BTW this is complete crap:

The Yankees came in streaking, overcoming a 21-29 start to win the AL wild card. But they were done in by poor pitching, an insect invasion and the latest October vanishing act by Rodriguez, whose bat was quiet until a solo home run in the seventh inning.

A disappointed crowd of 56,315 also might have seen Rodriguez in pinstripes for the final time. A likely MVP during the regular season, A-Rod was largely AWOL in the playoffs for the third straight year, striking out with two on in the first and again leading off the third.

ARod's numbers for the series: 4 games, 4 for 15(.267 avg), 2 walks, 1 HR, 2 runs, 1 RBI
Not great, but why does he get singled out for a "vanishing act"? Derek Jeter hit .167 for the series btw.
