Erick Aybar did not touch the bag. Thus, the runner was safe. Luckily, we were at a bar and could not hear that imbecile Tim McCarver. “A http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/593712 593712 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:35:21 EDT thebiglead.com 33 days 18 hours 54 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/593712 Mariano Rivera is being investigated for possibly spitting on a ball in game three of the ALCS, according to the New York Post.

Our View: Rivera pulled a real Houdini-act in the tenth inning of Monday's game, getting out of a runners on the corners, no outs jam. Video and images appear to show him spitting on a ball before he threw a pitch to Erick Aybar, who was batting with a runner on second and no outs. It would be nice if Rivera's nearly mythical dominance could be attributed to something, but the evidence appears inconclusive at best, and will probably only serve to further place him inside opposing hitters' heads. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/593584 593584 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:16:01 EDT fanball.com 33 days 20 hours 13 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/593584 Bundled in a red hood under his Angels cap, Erick Aybar shifted a few steps to his right and gazed straight up in the sky at a harmless-looking popup. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/587617 587617 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:32:01 EDT yahoo.com 37 days 9 hours 57 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/587617 Torii Hunter emerged from the visitors' clubhouse at Fenway Park to spray champagne over the fans and family gathered there.

Our View: Five hits and a walk led to the four runs in Beckett's 6.2 innings of work and he looked far from sharp. A triple to Erick Aybar was the only extra-base hit he allowed, but he couldn't get the clutch out to keep the Halos off the board. He threw 103 pitches (64 for strikes) before being pulled in the seventh. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/575275 575275 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 1:12:01 EDT fanball.com 44 days 8 hours 17 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/575275 Erick Aybar went 2-for-3, tripled and drove in a pair of runs in the Angels 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Friday. LA now holds a 2-0 lead in the ALDS as the series heads to Boston.

Our View: The Halos were held to just six hits all game, but Aybar made his two count. The scrappy shortstop hit .312 during the regular season and acts as a second leadoff hitter, batting in the ninth spot. That plan has worked for the Angels so far, as he's hitting .429 for the series. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/575271 575271 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 1:04:01 EDT fanball.com 44 days 8 hours 25 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/575271 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim IF Erick Aybar finished the regular season on a 10-for-15 note, according to The Los Angeles Times, while 1B Kendry Morales closed out 10-for-19. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/566615 566615 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 2:36:02 EDT kffl.com 49 days 6 hours 53 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/566615 Aybar finished his season with a five-game hitting streak, including back-to-back three-hit performances. He ended up hitting .312 with five home runs, 58 RBIs, 70 runs and 14 stolen bases, so the middle infielder achieved a breakout year for all intents and purposes. The Angels seem to value his efforts enough that he should receive a full-time role again next year, which makes him a worthy shortstop choice in mixed formats. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/565924 565924 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:12:18 EDT mlb.com 49 days 13 hours 17 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Erick_Aybar/565924 Aybar became a major threat for most of September with a .348 batting average in 24 games since Sept. 5.
