Wilfrid1 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 He claims he was misquoted. Observes that Jeter does not sport dreadlocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Rice was a great player and deserves Cooperstown, but has rightfully never been accused of being bright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liza Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Are Burnett's problems (three lousy starts in a row) physical or mental? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Mechanical is what I heard. He had lousy starts earlier in the season, so hopefully this is still just a blip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liza Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 And they're going to sort it out...how? I am having Chuck Knoblauch yip flashbacks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Are Burnett's problems (three lousy starts in a row) physical or mental? He and Posada don't work well together - it happens. Then they start second guessing each other. I would pair him with Molina the rest of the season, let him get his confidence back and then once the playoffs come, it shouldn't matter who is catching him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Seeing Jeter tie Gehrig's hit total made sitting in the stadium on a freezing night worth it. And then the 8th inning heroics by Posada was the icing on the cake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I had been patiently waiting for this for several days, then missed it last night. I will be watching every pitch until he passes the record now. So impressed at his decision to walk out and bunt and get things moving again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm going to Saturday's game, so part of me is hoping he goes hitless tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Rain delay. So I suppose he'll sneak onto the field later tonight when nobody is looking and break the record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Broke the record last night, though the Yanks lost. We can all exhale now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Can anyone parse this comment in the Times? Gehrig was far more prolific as a run producer, but Jeter matched his hit total Wednesday in just 64 fewer plate appearances. Apart from the sheer oddness (just 64 fewer? how many fewer should it be?), as far as I can see Jeter had several hundred more at-bats than Gehrig, while playing exactly 44 fewer games. So what on earth does the sentence mean, if anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Rain delay. So I suppose he'll sneak onto the field later tonight when nobody is looking and break the record. Deb and I managed to see it on TV. You need to be more dedicated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 In the end, I messed up by about three minutes. I had been discussing important business affairs in a bar without a TV on one side of the street, judged that the game might be starting, crossed the street to the bar with a TV, and entered just as the applause faded. It was a dramatic enough entrance, of course, because I stepped through the door, looked at the TV, shouted fuck and slammed my umbrella on the floor. Oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 All kidding aside, it was a really nice moment. Jeter is pure class and it was truly fitting that he was the one to break the record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
