The action was great from beginning to end

Actualresults could differ materially from those projected herein. It was the exact same situation as 1995, and this time A-Rod made it count.He didn’t afford the Phillies a chance to complete a late-inning comeback like his ’95 Mariners had done against the Yankees.Instead, a matured Rodriguez made the necessary adjustment and shut the door on Brad Lidge and the Phillies.His double delivered the knockdown blow to the defending champions and forces them to get up off the mat and win three straight games to save their season.I’ve had this at-bat from 1995 etched into my memory since I began obsessively watching the rerun of that Game Five whenever it’s on MLB Network.Interestingly enough, A-Rod was on deck when Martinez hit the game-winning double, never getting his chance on that day to get his moment in the sun. I was a kid in Seattle when the ’95 Mariners stole the city’s heart that season, and I always have felt for A-Rod as he struggled through so many postseason appearances.I waited for him to get another shot at winning a postseason contest for that forgetful ’95 at-bat as a rookie.I just never imagined that he would get such a replicated chance to redeem his missed opportunity in the 1995 ALDS.But last night, Rodriguez came through on baseball's biggest stage, finally undoing the notion that he lacks the ability to produce in the clutch. Isn’t baseball a beautiful game. The Formula One season offically came to an end today at Abu Dhabi. First off the Abu Dhabi Raceway was a great place to end the season! This was the first time F1 has raced this circuit and it didnt disappoint. Starting in the late afternoon this provided the first time that an F1 race started in the daylight and finished under the halogen lamps of night time. After seeing this race and the Singapore Granprix leads me to the conclusion that there should be more races in the night time. These two races were spectacular! Just seeing the cars run through the lights made the experience of F1 that much more enjoyable. The track was a supurb effort that cost a kings ransom to build, but worth every penny.

Nestled on the Persian Gulf, close enough for massive yachts to pull right up and watch, there seemed to be no expence spared for this beautiful circuit. There are actually two coarses in one that could run two different races at the same time. Even though the championship had already been wrapped up by Brawn driver Jenson Button there were many battles to be decided at Abu Dhabi. The action was great from beginning to end. Lewis Hamilton started from pole and had the car to beat during the first stints. Vettel looked like the only car capiable of challenging Hamilton and with the early exit Vettel and his Red Bull team mate Webber were able to capture a one - two finish in this ignagural race.

McLaren was able to hold off Ferrari for the third place constructers position battle, even though neither team finished in the points. With the win Vettel was able to move into the second place in the championship points edgeing out Brawns Barrichello. Also makeing him the only other German driver, since Micheal Schumacher, to win four races in one season. One of the great surprises was Toyotas subsitute driver Kamui Kobayashi. Kamui got the start for injured Timo Glock in the race prior and came home 9th. He had a great run at Brazil and didnt fall off here at Abu Dhabi Finishing 6th and running as high as third on a one stopper.
