Posted April 28, 200420 yr comment_200777 What have you done for me lately? Yankee Fans Show Lack of Class by Booing Jeter In eight years, your team goes to six World Series, winning four. One guy was the leader during those years, without him, your team would have been lucky to win one. So what do you do when he comes to the plate? Boooooooooooooooo! That??s right, you boo him. Sure, he led your team back to a period of dominance. He brought your team to their first World Series in 15 years, the longest drought since they made it for the first time 85 years earlier. Not only that, but he won your team the first in 17 years, which for your franchise is 50 years for most teams. He then leads your team to three more World Series wins in the next four seasons, but he??s in a slump, so screw him. He??s been incredible in the postseason. He broke the record for postseason hitting streak, earned the nickname ??Mr. November?? for how good he played the World Series the year it went into November. He was named World Series and ALCS most valuable player. But he??s having a bad April, so he sucks. He plays one more game after this season just to be eligible, and he??s a first ballot Hall Of Famer. In just eight full seasons, he??s been rookie of the year, a five time all star, ranked the top 10 in MVP four times, and has finished in the top 10 in various categories numerous times. He entered the season with a .324 lifetime batting average, and last year reached 1500 hits before he even turned 30. Baseballreference.com lists great Jackie Robinson as the player he is most similar to. But he??s gone a little over a week without a hit, so he??s worthless. Here??s a class act, reads and responds to every piece of fan mail he gets, puts up with your demanding owner with few complaints, even after he gets trashed by him. He loves the game, the fans, and playing for your team. And he??s been one of the best at his position for almost his entire career. But he hasn??t for the past few weeks, so he can go to hell. Come on Yankee fans, what is wrong with you? I??ve been waiting my entire life to see my team win a World Series with no luck, but lots of heartbreak along the way (see my 50 years article for reference). Your team has won four in the last decade, and you??re booing Derek Jeter, the guy that led your team to those World Series wins, a guy that you would have been lucky to win one without, just because he??s in a little slump? I wouldn??t even expect something like that from Phillies fans. Show some class.

April 28, 200420 yr comment_200778 Jeter, the prick who refused to move for a-rod when he's a clearly inferior SS? Williams, mr. makes a fuss because he sucks defensively and we wanted to not play him in CF? The real reason people are pissed off is that Williams and Jeter have not really filled in the "leadership" role that was left after O'Neill. O'Neill gave a crap when he striked out, he motivated the team, he sacrificed his body, he acted as leadership, all things Williams and Jeter seem to not do. Williams is too quiet and JEter, even though he is "the captain", doesn't really motivate the team. They do not play with the intensity of O'Neill. Yankee fans feel a bit betrayed because their super-rich super stars are not performing and seemingly "not caring" the way O'Neill did.

April 28, 200420 yr comment_200780 If you are talking about "Yankees MAil Back World Series Trophy", it is aprt of a running joke of mine, I wasn't being serious. I love people's poor reading comprehension. I mean, doesn't a quotation like this stick out from you? It is only 11 games, but jeez, get Crosby in the lineup! Lastly, just let me note I'm sure the Yankees will start to bat above .240...eventually. At this point, I wouldn't be advocating Crosby's glorious return as much, but bernie isn't hitting a lick either and his defense is even worse.

April 28, 200420 yr comment_200782 this is derrick f***ing jeter..... Playoff time comes there is NOBODY better....... If I said that, people would call me an idiot. Nonetheless, I wouldn't boo him, I can understand how other people can. I boo very little people...roger clemens, carl everett...if i had the oppurtunity barry bonds...but that's it.
