This is beer money to these people, Jeter included, obviously. color me very, very unimpressed and tired of the whole damn thing.KDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786763318236024476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-42601684613860191882014-05-27T13:53:51.245-04:002014-05-27T13:53:51.245-04:00Benny....no, Carlos Beltran is Mother Theresa.Benny....no, Carlos Beltran is Mother Theresa.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-64764265879288583412014-05-27T10:28:53.470-04:002014-05-27T10:28:53.470-04:00Jeter isn't Mother Teresa?Jeter isn't Mother Teresa? bennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743328164374223216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-65751423645572763202014-05-27T10:18:51.153-04:002014-05-27T10:18:51.153-04:00In my fantasy of WWJD, he would have played out mo...In my fantasy of WWJD, he would have played out most of the season in good form, then announced just before they did/or did not make the playoffs. <br />Of course, he's not in top form, so this was a smart decision to soften everyone's critique of his play, take out the guess work & remember the good times ( he's earned it!). Even more likely in my mind, the front office had an edict to milk this scenario for all it is worth after seeing the succe$$ of Mo's retirement last year ( also WELL deserved). <br />The flood gates have now been opened- like pointing to the sky on homers or praising god when your song about cunnilingus wins a Grammy, it's become the new ( marketing) norm, esp if you've become a 500 team.

This is absurd, embarrassing and, once 'tis done, may never be undone.<br /><br />Didn't the Whit Sox give him a box of <br />dirt ( supposedly from shortstop area) ? I hope Kansas City gives him some freshly picked corn.<br /><br />This isn't Derek's fault entirely, but why didn't he just play out the season and then retire?Alphonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294726065596642068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-24469933374551936412014-05-27T08:00:02.400-04:002014-05-27T08:00:02.400-04:00This is Jeter they're trying to honor.

Given his history with young starlets and singers, I think there must be one great-looking up-and-coming (no pun intended) talent (no double entendre intended) in each city who can be tied to giant wooden stakes in center field while natives chant 'Kong' or something appropriate. <br /><br />Now, that's a tribute to the man, right there. Tell me Jete wouldn't be happy to pack a few gift baskets for every road trip if he knew what he could look forward to.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.com
