Has anyone turned in this one yet? Gay/blind Mt. Everest climber is #1 but this is a close second.

this is the correct answer

Keep in mind that the weather has been crappy this year and Red Sox and Mets have not visited the stadium yet. I think by the end of the year the Yankees attendance figures will look pretty good compared to the rest of the league. Also, the team’s executives are pretty much all jerkasses and they deserve all the…

Berra did play with multiple other Hall of Famers during that title run, though, and had fewer other teams to get through in order to win the pennant each year.

It is a cherry pick yes. But I do not have time to put together a better argument, so I cherry picked. Jeter is far from the territory of Ruth/Williams/Mays but he is definitely a clear hall of famer, as are contemporaries like chipper and larkin.

It’s not wrong, but Sam really undermines that point by specifically mentioning Carles Puyol as an ideal captain. How much money has Barcelona spent over the past couple decades?

Yeah and you are definitely completely objective when it comes to the yankees, glad we squared that away. In fact I do have a job at which I should probably stop procrastinating, so let’s leave it at that. Enjoy the season, you have a lovely stadium out there in queens!

I like that because I hold the scorching hot take of “Derek Jeter deserved to be an all star” you assume I’m a mouthbreathing homer of the highest order.

Are you sure? Because last I checked your Mets were squandering a stable of young pitching talent — sure feels like 97 to me.

Are you seriously arguing that Derek Jeter didn’t deserve to be an all-star every year. He was top ten in offensive WAR every year from 97 to 07, except for 03 when he missed a chunk of the season with a shoulder injury. I thought I’d heard every weird knock on Jeter there was to hear, but this is a new one...

This article reeks of the sort of “gut-reasoning” logic it aims to criticize. If you want to say that Jeter masked a lack of certain leadership qualities with off-field class, fine, whatever. But the attempt to take down Jeter’s captaincy because the Yankees “only” won one world series during that period is really…

I can’t believe this was 20 years ago...still mad about this one. The NBA needs to revise that coming off the bench rule. It should not be hard for the league to determine who was actually involved in a fight and punish players accordingly. Patrick Ewing getting suspended despite walking *away* from the fracas (and…

With all due respect to the dodgers’ current announcer, who delivered fine calls on all of these home runs, I miss vin scully so much.

I’m a Yankees fan who grew up watching Andy Pettitte snipe fools at first base, so I admit I am biased. But given the MLB’s recent commitment to actually calling balks, maybe the league agrees with you.

You didn’t notice anything different from any other players because the NBA has decided that it is pretty much never going to call carries. I’m no NBA conspiracy truther but it’s pretty clear the NBA decided that players being able to pull off cool change-of-direction moves is good and fun, and as a result it decided…

Hm I was under the impression that people came to sports blogs to see cool plays that have never happened before, but you’re right, they should probably just change their name to Three Points The Old Fashioned Wayspin.

Yeah, Nene hitting a routine three-point play is just as noteworthy as this fucking amazing thing that I’ve never seen before in an NBA game.

Seriously. I like to play a game when listening to the Yankees on the radio - when the Yankees have a situation where they can score a run without a hit, and they don’t score, how many times will sterling bring that up throughout the rest of the game? Over/under is four times per inning.
