ヤンキース、今シーズン最後の試合で

 NYタイムスのweb版に、松井のコメント(下記)が出ていた。3戦まで好調だっただけに、4、5戦目のノーヒットは本人がもっとも悔しいだろう。
"If I had hit in those opportunities, maybe the game would have been a little different," Matsui said through an interpreter. "It's a bitter feeling."
 また、不調のA・ロドリゲスも批判の的だが、彼のコメントも印象的だ。
"We played so well down the stretch," Rodriguez said. "To end in this fashion, it's disappointing. I played great baseball this year, and I played like a dog the last five games."
