Why stop there? Why don't you award him a 15-inch penis too?

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

I'm guessing he doesn't need any help in that department.

We are through the looking glass people.

If you are performance art, I tip my proverbial cap to thee. If not, seek help immediately.

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

No, they couldn't.

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

Haha. We do need to get this conversation back on track.

I did some math and figured that for Jeter to hit .310 for the season like I predicted last week, he'll need to hit about .380 the rest of the way to do it.

Not an easy task, but I'm certain he's had 50 game stretches before where he's hit at least .380. I will look through his stats to see how often he's done this.

Prove it. I believe their 4th string all timers would beat the best of any expansion team. That's if we go by the same rules I used when making the Yankee list, using only players who had at least 5 years in pinstripes. Meaning if you were putting together a Marlins team, you couldn't put Piazza at catcher for example.

Without looking too deep into it, the Red Sox, Cardinals, and Dodgers are the only teams I think could beat the Yankees 4th team with their 1st team.

OK, I'll prove it. We'll dig up the corpses of Ty Cobb and Duke Snider and Cy Young, unfreeze Ted Williams' head and have a game in your mom's backyard. What are you, 10 years old? You've ceased to be amusing and are now just annoying. Go wash Jeter's car and mow his lawn.

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

Do you take everything literally? I meant 'prove it' as in show me an alltime lineup that we can compare with.

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

You're the one making the claim. You prove it.

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

The concepts of age and declining skills are completely lost on you, aren't they?

 

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread Vol. 1: COUNT THE RINGS

No, I realize Jeter won't play forever. I didn't take into account that it's harder to hit .380 in 2011 than it was a few years ago. And Jeter's not having a great year at the plate but that can be attributed to the hitting coach, who is quite obviously failing the entire team.
