Oh, what a glorious day!!! 2008 MLB season is officially a success. The Twins probably aren't going to make it either, but they weren't supposed to be this close. Hell, this series is just like the playoffs, anyway. If we lose, the season's over.
In other anti-Yankees propaganda, I give you
an analysis of Derek Jeter's fielding ability. The same Derek Jeter who is paid $21,000,000 PER YEAR and who I contend has been the most over-rated and overpaid player in baseball for years. The guys a good hitter, not a great hitter and his winning of the Gold Glove merely shows how much of a popularity contest that is. He's not the only example of undeserving winners much like he's not the only example of undeserving all-stars or Pro Bowl elections, but very few have more fluff surrounding them than this guy.
I'm so sick of hearing about how Jeter has intangibles. When someone asks about a player and the first response is, "Oh, he has great intangibles.", it's the same as if you're being set up on a blind date with a girl and when you ask what she's like, the answer is, "Oh, she's got a great personality." Someone's hiding something.
