I find it ...(grabs wheel - steers away from Jeter)<br /><br />I find it kind of strange talk about the World Series, then show a player dressed as a Cub. Only using an image of a card you possess, or didn't want to dig for an image of a 1990 card of him?<br /><br />http://s.ecrater.com/stores/68455/4b7c2ccd51bd4_68455n.jpgJediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-9511579025492773682012-10-14T22:08:17.651-04:002012-10-14T22:08:17.651-04:00I love how we went from the Yankees being praised ...I love how we went from the Yankees being praised for the incredible depth they have (i.e. Raul Ibanez) to everybody being positively apoplectic that THE CAPTAIN is gone for the rest of the postseason.

They are going to lose because the supposed meat of the batting order (Rodriguez, Granderson, Swisher, and Cano) are collectively batting .112 through the post-season. And, bless their hearts, they have to face Verlander on Tuesday.<br /><br />The loss of Jeter just adds injury to insult. So to speak.carlsonjokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556989250983706634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-89050803802192213002012-10-14T18:01:55.468-04:002012-10-14T18:01:55.468-04:00Take a breath.
I would say that about any player ...Take a breath.<br /><br />I would say that about any player of talent who plays on a team I want to lose. I'm not wishing Jeter or any of them the end of their career or irreparable injury. I just don't want to see them out there because I don't want them to win.<br /><br />My feelings are no different than thousands of other fans. And I think it's somewhat dishonest to say otherwise.<br /><br />Do you think Cowboys fans were crying because Joe Theismann got his leg broken on national TV years ago? No they weren't; they were cheering.<br /><br />I won't go so far as cheer and I'm sorry that Jeter has to deal with rehab, but it's not anything different than thousands of other fans have said or athletes have encountered.<br /><br />To make the leap from someone saying they're happy that someone is out of the lineup to the fools in that parking lot is a stretch to say the least.<br /><br />If you don't like what I write, don't read it. <br /><br />night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-37209651819739773992012-10-14T17:10:37.652-04:002012-10-14T17:10:37.652-04:00Look, I get that you don't like the Yankees. I...Look, I get that you don't like the Yankees. I tolerate that you rag on the Rockies from time to time. We all have our teams and our allegiances. Fine.<br /><br />However, I have to draw the line with you practically jumping for joy at Jeter's injury.<br /><br /><i>"That's exactly what I want to happen. I want to see the best players on the teams that I don't like disappear, whether through slump, injury, or washing machine explosion back home."</i><br /><br />Listen, Jeter's not a Nazi guard at Auschwitz. He's not part of a terrorist group. He's a baseball player and this is just a game. To wish another man injury, especially when he's done nothing to wrong you or your family, and worse, approving when said injury happens, is not acceptable behavior in a civilized society.<br /><br />What if Brandon McCarthy were on the Giants, another team you hate? Is that "exactly what you want to happen"? For a pitcher to get a ball lined off his head and need emergency brain surgery during the playoffs?<br /><br />That's exactly the same attitude that led to the tragic and senseless beating in the Dodger Stadium parking lot last year.<br /><br />Whether you like the team or not, Derek Jeter is a human first, and a Yankee second.Adam Kaningherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604439081636666350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-59285280016043189802012-10-14T15:17:25.061-04:002012-10-14T15:17:25.061-04:00John Tudor was one of my favorites as a kid, but t...John Tudor was one of my favorites as a kid, but the man had some bad luck. I believe he also missed part of a season, as a Cardinal, because Barry Lyons fell down the steps of the dugout at Busch Stadium and broke his leg. He actually came back from the shoulder operation after sitting out in 89 and pitched for the Cardinals in 1990. He went 12-4 which in 22 starts and an ERA of 2.40. Not bad for a final season.
