Ian's Jeter-lust

Ian O'Connor tweets: despite all the sabermetrics, there is a hell of a value in Jeter's ability to turn every ball hit right at him into an out. #yankees Incredible. Of course, what he's not saying is that Jeter's inability to field balls hit two feet to either side of him are not a hell of a value. But seriously. A Major League shortstop is SUPPOSED to be able to turn balls hit right him into outs.

A minor league shortstop is, also. There's also tremendous value in his ability to sit pensively in uniform in front of the Great Wall of Steinbrenner. Plus his ability to lie in public and get it turned into a virtue. I frankly don't know how they're going to afford him.

Well put. It was an eighth-inning Captain Jeter error that ended America's hopes in the 2009 WBC.

The five most common words from John Sterling's mouth..... "Just past a diving Jeter."

This is usually followed by a long diatribe about how hard he tried to get there, and how he nearly willed the ball into his glove while the runners circle the bases without us being told about it.

He is just positioning his feet so that he can make those spectacular jump-throws to first. But, you're right. Someone should remind him you need the ball to be able to do that. Later

I found that there's a hell of a value in my ability to cross the street when the sign flashes "Walk."

Fuck that , your one was a real blast from the past....still fucking funny too....I am sure you'll agree that there can never be enough fucking at the MFYs.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 27 2010 03:07 PM Re: Ian's Jeter-lust

True, that. Funny, on a weekend when I enjoyed a Jets win, a Mets win, a few re-viewings of "Kicking and Screaming" ('95 version, sans Will Farrell), and a giggly apple-picking outing with LWYP, the deepest, most throat-ripping laughs I had were on Saturday while flipping on the MFY-Boston game while driving, and listening to a mopey Sterling-Waldman mope.
