I recall when the Yankees acquired A-Rod, people in a position to know were saying that he was a better defensive shortstop than Jeter and it made more sense to move Jeter to third base. If that had happened, he’d be considered a fairly good third baseman instead of an all-time great shortstop.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality

Don’t forget, the only reason he’s not a convicted domestic abuser is the fact that he was lucky enough to be prosecuted in a state with a strange appeals process, which gave him time to pay off his victim.

Hire him to plan the divorce, then.

I dunno, does a dime count as “some money”?

It always amazed me how many homers he hit that were almost entirely arm-and-wrist shots. He could wait on the ball longer than most batters, and if that meant there wasn’t time for him to turn his legs and torso, no problem.

Logic breaks down when discussing Carly Fiorina, whose name sounds like a weird Soviet-bloc car from the ’80s.

The business of business is business (making money). The purpose of government is good governance. Those goals can at times be mutually exclusive.

So if all the GOP candidates all made the same deal with crossroads demons to become president, how does that get reconciled? Obviously they don’t get their souls back.

The one HP printer I opened up to explore why it wasn’t working had a blown capacitor. I replaced it with a higher-rated capacitor and it’s worked fine since. Thing is, a capacitor is like a 10-cent part, so cheaping out on it didn’t even save HP that much money.

When will interviewers learn, when you confront a GOP candidate with reality, your interview is going to go poorly. Just stop it, it doesn’t work. It’s like trying to feed filet mignon to a cactus.

I’m just glad that Eli’s brother will finally get a chance to show what he can do in the playoffs.

It’s too bad that Alex Torres will never get to be on a plaque.

I’m not saying I’ll be an accomplice to your crime, all I’m saying is that I have a drivers license, a car, and two gas cans.

This is why we need to ability to draft a president. We need someone who has to be dragged into the White House kicking and screaming against her/his will.

Ted Cruz is what happens when you leave Marco Rubio in cheap plasticware in the back of the fridge too long.

I could see that, and he’d be much more tolerable. I wonder though if some voters would still be biased against closers, even the best of all time.

Yeah, there are some terrible writers in Boston, but I don’t see any of them being petty enough to vote against Jeter. St. Louis writers, though ...

I’m no Jeter fan, but 3,400+ hits and a lifetime .310 batting average is clearly Hall of Fame caliber. His “clutch” reputation is nonsense and his defense was never better than tolerable, but he’s one of the 3 or 4 best hitting shortstops of all time.
