I didn't like seeing him walking around the dugout like an idiot, waving his hands indicating that ARod was safe (and I wouldn't like this type of thing on either side, the way Jeter was doing it made him look way too cocky). This coupled with the fact that everyone thinks he's so great in the clutch when this year he has been terrible, and on his career his numbers in the playoffs are AFAIK worse than his numbers in the regular season, he's just been there so many teams because he's on the Yankees.

/pointless rant

Jeter is a career .315 hitter and has a postseason batting average of .307.
He's clutch.

I hope you're being sarcastic...

And I hope you are. Jeter is one of the most clutch postseason hitters in the game.

Actually Captain Caveman. I'm guessing Damon's not as pretty.

A-Rod is a complete waste, I agree. I put Sheffield in the same class as Bonds: a jerk perhaps, but he plays hard and walks the walk. Jeter is the perfect guy to root against. In all honesty he's a good player, team leader, and since he hosted SNL I think he's a nice guy with a sense of humor. I hate him 100% because he is 100% Yankee. If he played for Texas or the Angels my feelings may be much different.

Just noticed something today. If Boston and the Astros win we'll be facing a team full of B's in the WS. Might be rooting for the Cards now.

Agreed. Sheff isn't a nice guy by any means, but I'd take him on my team in a heartbeat. Arod is

A: Overrated
B: Overpaid
C: An asshole

I think the difference between Arod and Bonds/Sheff is that the latter two are simply arrogrant and not people-friendly. My opinion of Arod sunk after that fight.

And I hope you are. Jeter is one of the most clutch postseason hitters in the game.

Not this year.

Nomar is that you?

oops repost. im a noob

anyway

SPEED when was the last time you hit 40 homers and drove in 130?

When was the last time ARod ever closed out a game with a one run lead in the last inning? Or batted .522 with a 100% stolen base ratio? Or best of all, play the game for fun and not worry about cheating to win, and playing the game the way it was meant to be played?

Do you have to offer anything besides humping on the Arod play? How many times your going to repeat yourself?

Arod did not cheat, he made a poor judgement and the umps realized that and they called him out. About Arod not playing for fun? I dont know and could care less ... as long as he plays well thats all that matters

Another reason.
Time to step it up Mr. Captain.
At least he's making contact and drawing walks.

I cringed too when Tony Clark was up batting but who else are you going to put on first? Enrique Wilson?

No Olerud, no Giambi ... so I guess the only option is Clark. I knew he was going to make an out, and not surprisingly, he struck out.

I really didnt think Olerud's injury would be as serious as it was, if he was in the lineup he would have made the Red Sox pitchers work harder. Olerud is a very smart player, and the Yankees miss him

Sure doesn't look like he gets any better during the postseason than he is during the regular season. It's about what you would expect.

no one can deny that. always makes the big play. although Jeter has been wayy off this postseason, both defensively and offensively. I just wish Jeter would be patient enough to wait for a good pitch to hit instead of swinging at balls way out of the strike zone

we know because we follow Yankee baseball. You dont know because you rarely see the yankees. and if you have been watching Jeter play in the postseason all these years, you would he elevates his game to a new level

nlcs is a good game right now in the 9th

Oh, that's nice. So you know because you could possibly be highly biased? How do you know that I rarely watch Yankees games? How do you know if I have or haven't been watching Jeter in the postseason? Oh, that's right - you don't.

Jeter doesn't elevate his game to a new level - it's about the same level as he produces in the regular season.

like i said because, you are a follower of Yankee baseball and dont get to watch Jeter. Every baseball would tell you Jeter elevates his game in the postseason. he has been doing it for the past 8 years

I do watch Jeter and I don't see him elevating himself to a whole new level during the postseason.

Do you have any evidence supporting this notion? Or is the only thing you have "jeter is good because I say he is good'?

Interesting logic you have...apparently if I am a fan of any team, then I can say that my entire team elevates itself during the posteason because they're my team! Forget about proof, evidence, or those damn dirty things called statistics!

no point in arguing since we'll both repeat ourselves. just to use one example, did you see Jeters flip home a few years ago during the Oakland series? thats just one of many examples i have, but its ok

Of course there's no point in arguing - you have nothing to back you up.

He should have many examples as he's had around 400 postseason at bats - that is at about the same level as his MLB career numbers. I guess those dirty statistics are lying.

I am a sox fan, but I agree with the yanks on this one, Jeter often does have clutch hits in the postseason and does elevate his level of play. This might not be reflected in his numbers but by watching him play you can tell he is more intense. But in this ALCS he seems to not have the same spark he has had in previous years, and I think his attitude and performance can make or break the yankees in game 7. Which is why I'm hoping he does horrible tonight.

So he 'elevates his level of play', but this isn't reflected in the numbers? Interesting. I didn't know that was possible when we're dealing with around 400 at bats. What other secrets do the Yakees hold?

There are a few of us, we usually get lost in the sea of SOX fans that foam at the mouth if they hear the word yankee.

EDIT: In respose to the NLCS comment..... GO ASTROS
Mongoose: Its all in his solid defense and great catches that he makes with frequently and his attitude, he is the heart of the yanks in the postseason, and he is always fighting, it is that attitude that helps teams win. Not whinning about ancient history, curses, and buckner like most of my fellow sox fans.
Stop making excuses and cheer bitches
