Trust me, I enjoy delving, but I'm not a student of X's and O's like some around here. I do know that this season, we win when the opposing QB "fall down, go boom."
The AP write up seems to think so...

That would make me feel a little better, because a straight up miss from 38 yards is just a measure of good luck. A tip is a nice play.
When Spiller broke a 17 yard run in OT to Arizona's 35 and we proceeded to throw 3 consecutive incomplete passes, I wanted Chan to resign then and there.
From the very first few weeks of the season, I expected them to drop off and it just never happened. So appropriate that Game 5 was the rubber match of what turned out to be an epic 23 game season series.
You didn't miss much. Jeter, Ibanez, and the entire pitching staff showed up to this series. Been enough for a 2-2 split. Let's see if one of the other supposed all stars wants to play tonight.
In this series...
Robinson Cano is 2-16
Alex Rodriguez is 2-15
Nick Swisher is 2-14
Curtis Granderson is 1-15
Ichiro is 4-19
And yet, they're one swing away from taking the series. It's mind boggling.
If you were to build a franchise around one player, Buster Posey would have to be in the conversation. I'd personally pick Trout, but Posey is just a stud.
