With the hot-hitting Robinson Cano on deck, Alex Rodriguez whiffed -- again -- to end the game Monday night. So is it time to drop him in the batting order? Not according to the Yankees' manager.
Sometimes, postseason experience isn't all that important. How else to explain the Baltimore Orioles beating the playoff-tested New York Yankees, and rookie Wei-Yin Chen outpitching 40-year-old Andy Pettitte?
Playoff under-performers Nick Swisher and Mark Teixeira have gotten off to a hot start in the ALDS.
It's a new season, one Pettitte knows better than most. On Monday night, he'll have his eye on No. 20 -- as in career postseason victories.
They say everything changes in October. New heroes are born and others fall from greatness. That was certainly the case Sunday night.
"I said it was his game," manager Joe Girardi said. "It was his game to either win or lose, and that's exactly what he did. He went out and won the game for us."
CC Sabathia turned in a sparkling pitching performance and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 Sunday night.

Joe Girardi has placed 11 pitchers on the team's 25-man roster for the AL divisional series against the Baltimore Orioles.
Sixteen years after the Yankees ousted the Orioles from the playoffs and advanced to the World Series, the teams resume their rivalry Sunday night in Game 1 of the AL division series.
"Usually that would be the end of my season," Suzuki said Friday night before a workout at Yankee Stadium. "What I've realized is here, for the Yankees, is that it's the starting point."
In every game the Yankees lost, they looked old and slow. In September, those old guys played with veteran savvy and experience. So, which is it?
Joe Saunders pitched effectively into the sixth inning, Adam Jones hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly and the Baltimore Orioles beat the two-time defending AL champion Texas Rangers 5-1 in the wild-card game playoff Friday night.
It matters little who the Bombers play in the ALDS, because Mark Teixeira has the winning Rx: Yankee baseball.
The pinstriped recipe for success this season will take a backseat to the sudden surge of southpaw pitching. The Yankees will remain in the playoffs for as long as CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte pitch to the back of their baseball cards.
Regardless of where you stand on the new MLB playoff schedule, one thing is for sure: The new format could hurt the teams with the best records, both on the field and in the pocket
With the new playoff format, the Yankees' next move is to, well, be patient. "To have the best record and not know where you're going is strange," manager Joe Girardi said.
The Yanks are a confident team now, a powerful team. They found their swagger. Now the Bombers go straight to the three-of-five ALDS, where they sit, appropriately, at No. 1.
Brian Cashman and the Yankees' front office should be applauded for finding an ideal, cost-efficient fit for their playoff roster in Raul Ibanez.
The regular season isn't over yet, but make no mistake: Game 162 at Yankee Stadium will have a playoff atmosphere -- and major postseason implications.
The Yankees couldn't have asked for a softer season-ending opponent. The Red Sox are simply awful, and they have been playing out the string since early August. Last season's fried chicken and beer collapse has never ended.
"Are jobs riding on this? Not that I know of," Steinbrenner told reporters outside the Yankees' clubhouse on Monday. "Jobs are not riding on this. We'll look at everything in the offseason, as we always do."
Ivan Nova has been dropped from the Yankees' rotation after a pair of poor outings, and David Phelps will replace him as Tuesday night's starter against the Red Sox.
This is what makes the Yanks so interesting: no one truly knows which team will appear on the field this weekend. Or for Friday's wild card game. Or for a 163rd game in Baltimore.
Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Mark Teixeira stepped up the plate, sent the ball over the wall and circled the bases like a conga line in a nine-run second inning.
