I pick on the Yankees because THAT IS ALL ANYONE TALKS ABOUT.

I know I'm supposed to be impressed by Jeter running into things and falling and hurting himself, but, dude ( Read more... )

How is it you and I are always on the same wavelength?? owllover711 May 27 2005, 04:43:26 UTC

Not only am I tired of hearing about how impressive Jeter is for doing stuff like that but I am also shaking my head and going "Jeter YOU IDIOT, you could BREAK YOUR NECK SOMEDAY AND BE PARALYZED OR CONCUSSED INTO OBLIVION doing that shit all the time!!!"
I am seriously concerned for the man's well-being when I see him do that type of play. Or any other player for that matter. I mean, running into the wall a la Jim Edmonds (hey, there's another player who doesn't get his props enough for awesome catches!) is great but there's a good and a bad way to take risks and Jeter always seems to be doing it the bad way lately.

I worry that kids will see what he's doing and be like "OMG, I'm going to run face-first into a bunch of chairs like JEET! Because the guys on ESPN tell me that makes you a REAL ballplayer!" And saying that makes me feel horribly old, but Jesus. No, Jeter is not special for being clumsy. He's a great clubhouse guy and a decent shortstop. (Note that I didn't say OMG BEST EVER SHORTSTOP. They have a better SS at third base.) But congratulating every time he gives himself a concussion? No. Just no.

I think your speaking such heresy just set off a minor earthquake in the mid-Atlantic Ridge. A small price to pay, though, for daring to tell the truth. :-)

that's exactly what i thought when i saw the running-into-the-stands play last year. everyone was oohing and ahhing about it and i was like, if you break your damn arm chasing down a foul ball i'ma laugh my ass off, boy.

ROFL! That sums it up perfectly.
Don't I know you from somewhere else on the Net, BTW?
