Jeter Suckuppery Ain't Dead

Tom Verducci's still got it, it being a revolting crush on Derek Jeter.

Jeter, dressed in a crisp blue suit and white shirt open at the neck, is standing in the dugout of Marlins Park, which is dramatically lit for "dinner on the Diamond," a January function for about 150 potential business partners, sponsors and season-ticket holders. [...] Jeter, as DiMaggio did, evokes a casual elegance and commands any space he enters, even one this big.

I just hope A-Rod is lurking in a corner somewhere, feeling jilted. It completes the picture.

I can't help but wonder how he was able to type that without gagging.

I mean, he already had something in his mouth.

You are all welcome to use it anytime.

Jeter, as DiMaggio did, milked his carefully constructed image with the full knowledge that the public would never know how far the image differed from the actual person

No more calls, please. We have a winner.

Re: Jeter Suckuppery Ain't Dead

Knowing what we know of DiMaggio, comparing Jeter to him is hardly compliment

The opening lines:

Cool as marble, choosing bemusement over anger, Derek Jeter is playing defense from behind a desk. It’s a new position for the former Yankees shortstop.

Not really. He ALWAYS played defense like he was sitting behind a desk.

Not everyone is as impressed ... at least not anymore.

Actually, he played defense like he was carrying a desk on his back.

I REGRET NAMING MY SON AFTER DEREK JETER

You know, we have middle names for a reason. They give you a second chance when your parents realize they messed up.

My parents never really acknowledged that Edward Kennedy was part of the inspiration for my name, but folks apparently stopped calling me Teddy some time around the summer of 1969.

Re: Jeter Suckuppery Ain't Dead

A tease for the article appears on the cover of the latest SI which I'm sure didn't make Eagles fans happy. I also got two Jeter cards when I purchased a new pack of Topps. How can we miss him if he won't go away?

By repeating threads about him? :)

If you're a strat player, this isn't uncommon. Its my understanding that you can use a player if he retired the prior year and his card is still active.
I've always felt there is something zombie-like about that.
