They have a second-half MVP?

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

c'mon, kid, if a player isn't part of the discussion at this point, with his team already in first place, there's no way for him to get into the discussion at all. especially not with AT LEAST two players on his own team who have been legit candidates from the get-go.i don't care if your beloved 'jeets' homers in every game left this season, he can NEVER, EVER convince anyone over 12 that he's deserving.

cripes...

but,, bravo. you got me again. there truly is a talent to coming up with statements so obtuse that they are impossible to ignore. you've got us up to 20 freakin' pages with your babble.

Manky will be unavailable until after his last class lets out about 3 p.m. Then he has spelling homework to do.

You might be surprised I'm old enough to remember this, but Chipper Jones won his MVP mainly because he had a great September (especially a series against the Mets where he hit like 6 homers).

Granderson is not a legit MVP candidate. He's played poorly against winning teams.

Granderson has a 1.538 OPS (1.000 SLG) against the Rangers in 9 games, 6 HRs 13 RBI in 9 games.

A 1.375 OPS against the Angels.

He's done poorly agains the Tigers and has a pedestrian .813 OPS against the BOSOX.

OTOH 21 of his 38 HRs have been solo HRs

A big reason why I believe Jeter is better than Ted Williams:

Williams only played in 1 postseason and went 5 for 30!

I don't need to remind you that Jeter has set all sorts of postseason records.

To me, Ted Williams is a lot like Bean's Oakland teams of 10 years ago: Awesome in the regular season, but overmatched when it comes to the playoffs.

And it's not like he was stuck on bad teams; Boston almost always had winning teams during his career but they always fell short.

Please, pretty please with sugar on top, tell us that you forgot the blue font and that you're being sarcastic and just did a lousy job of doing so. Because I would really hate to think that you're serious with this post.

You know what, I don't want to keep running down Ted Williams. He was a great American and is still considered one of the greatest hitters ever. I think he would be honored to be compared with Jeter.

Of course, you're once again ignoring the fact that only one team made the playoffs in each league in WIlliams' era.

How can you be so obtuse?

I beat you by about seven pages.

A double-obtuse for Manky.

Now that's funny.

I knew I'd had missed some comedic gold in the first 19 pages.

I guess that means Jeter is out of the conversation as well since he's hitting a sterling .215 with a .513 OPS against the Red Sox.
