Finally a smart Yankee manager!

[Swangin]

Wonder if the H.O.F will break tradition for him? Like, instead of just his face on his plaque, how about something with him doing is jump-throw to first?

WHAT???

Isn't Jeter special enough for the H.O.F to break tradition for him?

No. As a Yankees fan I have always enjoyed watching him play, but I would put him about 3rd behind 2 Pirates at SS all time. Great.......first ballot HOF.....but not greatest thing since sliced bread.

Jeter is thought of as a great defensive SS for 2 plays in my mind. The dive into the stands which is nice and the throw against the A's to home.

Hey OBX,

Intangibles at play here?

Nah I always thought he was like Ripken. If you hit the ball to him he would make the play. Just don't make either of them chase the ball, cause they are not getting there.

Ripken is another guy who is overrated. The streak is great, but comon.

All is not well with Captain Jetes -

Derek Jeter was back, and the New York Yankees felt a whole lot better.
At least until he needed to make an early exit.

The Yankees captain singled on his first pitch of the season, then was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning with a tight right quadriceps in an 8-4 victory Thursday over the Kansas City Royals .
"I hope it's not a big deal," Jeter said.

Jeter scored a run and went 1 for 4 with an RBI groundout as the designated hitter in his return from a nine-month layoff from a broken ankle. He said his quad tightened up during his third at-bat, and added he didn't think this injury came from pushing too hard in his debut
"It's just stiff," he said. "We'll find out tomorrow."

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the 39-year-old Jeter will be sent for a scan.
"Jete thinks he'll be ready to play" on Friday night at home against Minnesota, Girardi said.

Ripken was a lot better defensive SS than Jeter

I actually think the streak hurt him in some way. Now a lot of people like yourself think people talk about Ripken because of the streak and forget that he was actually great

 

[Tubbs1518]

Ripken is a really really good player. But his average year was about .276 22 HR 80 RBI. That is pretty good, but certainly not great. He had a few really really good years like in 83, 84 and 91. But people talk about him like he is one of the all time greats and I don't see it.

And a single for Jeter in his first a.b. Yankee fans everywhere wet themselves with joy......

And they will say he "is back" and once again the best hitter in the majors!

and its a soft grounder to Jeters left... "OMG WHAT A PLAY BY JETER!!!!! OMG I WET MYSELF" "THAT JUMP THROW NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER DO"

- That's because it was NOT needed!!!

Well,........, not if the injury that got him pulled late in the gaem today is serious in any way.

I really don't get the hate for Jeter, and i'm a Yankees-Hater from way back. The guy has always been the consummate professional in my opinion.


Now, A-Rod is another story...

Because it usually has little to nothing to do with Jeter, and much more to do with ribbing Yankee fans, especially the ones that hold him in God like status and acclaim. I have seen this done so well by a group of folks on CBS so well that they elevated Jeter bashing and hating to an art form.

99.9% of the time, I am against acting like this. But, to watch someone over-react to something someone has posted can sometimes be a laugh riot.

Ah, I didn't mean to be a wet blanket...bash away!

Although I have to respect a guy who nailed Mariah Carey when she was hot...and then was smart enough to dump her.
