Good night, sweet prince.

i was really hoping this one was true

7/13/2010 10:08:07 AM

they come in 3s, Yankees announcer, former Yankee owner.. now MJ

7/13/2010 10:09:10 AM

Seems like it'll have to be someone Yankee related...

OH PLEASE BE JETER

7/13/2010 10:10:13 AM

how the fuck can anyone be a Jeter hater? you're just a bad person if you hate Jeter.

how are you butt-hurt about the jeter hater but not even commenting on the dude hoping michael jordan is really dead

7/13/2010 10:13:57 AM

Links or it didn't happen

7/13/2010 10:14:20 AM

7/13/2010 10:15:03 AM

he plays for the Yankees, swings like a fucking pussy, and.. that's all I got. I don't dislike him, but there's a reason the team is called the "Evil Empire" pretty much everywhere that isn't NY

7/13/2010 10:16:29 AM

He played minor league ball in Greensboro

just sayin

7/13/2010 10:18:17 AM

^^if you don't like Jeter you don't baseball. Don't be a fag he's one of the best athletic role models out of any sport today. Go pull that dildo out of your ass you'll feel better.

maybe b/c nobody believes that MJ is dead.

Ah yes, the Evil Empire...b/c they actually had a team owner with the balls and money to make his team more successful than any other.

jeter pretty much rules. offensively. the best SS on the yankees still plays 3rd base.

7/13/2010 10:20:24 AM

that is irrelevant to the sentiment he expressed

7/13/2010 10:20:29 AM

Fuck Jeter and fuck you for getting butt-hurt

7/13/2010 10:26:07 AM

Reggie Jackson is next.








I used to hate on Jeter until Arod got there.

Now I'm meh on Jeter.

Not true at all.

Jeter is basically New York's Chipper Jones, and I hate Chipper Jones.

I like Jeter, mainly for the fact that he understands you can sleep with dozens of beautiful women and never get any flack for it as long as you don't fuck up and get married.

He's living the dream and I'm incredibly jealous of his lifestyle.

only thing rumored dead about michael jordon is the trade he is stopping with the Raptors

7/13/2010 10:42:23 AM

michael b. jordan?



he got done up by poot and bodie in the rowhouse

I don't like Jeter, and have never liked him, simply because he plays for the Yankees

Now, if you don't feel strongly about the Yankees, THEN perhaps you're not a very big baseball fan

but I would actually expect more people to dislike Jeter than to like him, for the simple reason that more people hate the Yankees.

[Edited on July 13, 2010 at 10:51 AM. Reason : although if he never used steroids, I'll give him props for that]

Just to reiterate, Jeter is the second best SS on the Yankees (both offensively and defensively) He has no range at all and he never has, and he is decent offensively at best. He may "hustle" but that doesnt make up for his awful range. I agree with he chipper comment, he is a good player who has played the game right and stayed with his loyal fans. Very good player: yes Great player: prob not

It is kind of obsurd that the Yankees dont pick up a true third baseman(easier to find a good power hitting 3B than a good power hitting SS) and move Arod back to SS where he belongs. I know the Yankee faithful would never go for this move, but the way the Yankees buy up all the talent, it would seem to be the logical move.

JETER BLOWS

yes clearly a future first round hall of famer blows

7/13/2010 11:06:14 AM

first ballot

7/13/2010 11:10:35 AM

I plan to take him in the first round of my Fantasy Baseball Hall Of Fame draft

7/13/2010 11:12:05 AM

120 OPS+, 3,000+ career hits, 1,100 + RBI, a lifetime .315 average and five rings (not to mention an .863 postseason OPS).

Lock first ballot hall of famer. If a first ballot HOFer is not a "great player" to you then maybe your standards are a bit high.

[Edited on July 13, 2010 at 11:13 AM. Reason : average at best defensively in his prime, though -- you got that correct]

7/13/2010 11:13:00 AM

Perhaps the HOF has lowered its standards.

[Edited on July 13, 2010 at 11:14 AM. Reason : *]

7/13/2010 11:13:49 AM

Steve Garvey is my dark horse. I'll take him in a late round.

-5 100 RBI seasons
-.294 career AVG
-batted over .300 7 times
-had 200 or more hits in a season 6 times
-1974 NL MVP
-batted .319 in 5 World Series
-batted .356 in 5 league championship series
-batted .393 in 10 all-star games
-won 4 Gold Glove awards
-2 time MVP of the all-star game
-2 time MVP of the league championship series
-finished in the top 5 in total bases 7 times
-set a NL record by playing 193 straight games without committing an error
-set a ML record with his .996 fielding percentage at first base.
-played in 1,207 consecutive games, an NL record and 4th longest overall

7/13/2010 11:15:16 AM

They've raised them exponentially, and will have to even further in the wake of the steroid era

I'd like to see Jeter make a run at 4000

7/13/2010 11:16:19 AM

My second round pick is Edgar Martinez.

Quote :

"Edgar was one of the finest hitters of all time period. The Graphic above by Bert Chiu shows Edgar with Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Rogers Hornsby, and Lou Gehrig. Edgar and those 5 Hall of Famers are the only players in history to have a batting average of .300 or more, on-base percentage of .400 or more, a slugging percentage of .500 or more, 2000 hits, 300 home runs, 500 doubles, and 1000 walks."

7/13/2010 11:20:18 AM

meh, with a great offensive player, you can often take the intersection of a bunch of hitting achievements and put your player in legendary company

it doesn't mean he belongs there

Edgar Martinez probably deserves the Hall of Fame, but he does NOT deserve to be in that picture. Every one of those guys has achieved things which make this

Quote :

"batting average of .300 or more, on-base percentage of .400 or more, a slugging percentage of .500 or more, 2000 hits, 300 home runs, 500 doubles, and 1000 walks."

statistic seem elaborate, artificial, and totally unnecessary.
