Among the many debate-worthy things about the Yankees' early 0-2 deficit to the Indians -- not least among them A-Rod's total responsibility therein -- a minor argument about whether or not play should have continued during the midge infestation has crept up. Its main proponents? You guessed it: the Yankees: If Roger Clemens had been making the call, the New York Yankees really would have bugged out.
Clemens viewed Friday night's insect invasion at Cleveland's Jacobs Field from both the dugout and a television in the clubhouse, and he concluded it was too distracting an environment to pitch in.
"I would have probably pulled us off the field," Clemens said Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
Clemens' logic is pretty fallacious, especially when you consider that the Indians had to deal with the exact same conditions over the exact same stretch of play. I far prefer Doug Mientkiewicz's explanation, actually:
"The joke around the guys was that we all have Derek Jeter's Driven on," he said. "Joba looked like the movie, 'Bees.' He had them all over his neck and his back. But then again, so did their guys."At least Mientkiewicz understands that all's fair in cologne and war, especially when the Canadian Soldiers invade. Or something like that.
