Ok, Sexson has to go. He strikes out looking against Darren Oliver, what a POS...

wow, great game, fun to watch.....gotta give the team A for trying


meanwhile, the more disturbing thing is that Arod really just didnt cut it again when it counts, but he got bailed out today, or that was a routing GIDP....this guy just aint clutch :roll:

ARod also singled with Abreu on before that, which allowed Nady to hit that homerun later. But I guess it's always meaningless unless he hits the ball to Yonkers.

Duh. Anything less than a 5 run homer in the 3rd inning or later = failure

Definitely not a surprise, we would probably be 111-0 without his bum ***.

He is only #1 in the AL in batting, and when you combine that with 45 homers, gold glove defense, and a 1.000 OPS, you have the most replaceable player in baseball. Bring back Aaron Boone please, that guy was the DEFINITION of clutch.

The secondary definition of clutch is Derek Jeter, who is likely on pace to set the record for double plays in a season and would've hit into another one today if Damon wasn't running on the pitch with the infield in.

Great game. For all the Arod bashers, who would you replace him with? Mike Lowell? David Wright? Evan Longoria? Miguel Cabrera? Aramis Ramirez? Scott Rolen? Troy Glaus? He's a better hitter than all of those guys and a better fielder than most of them. We all saw how terrible this team was when Arod was the DL, no other one player in the major leagues could replace what he does. -Jitpal

Not Jeter's greatest year, but Jeter (along with Mo and Posada) will never "wear thin" on me. They've simply provided too many memories that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

It's going to very hard to watch those 3 retire. They've been the definition of consistent their entire career, and I'm not going to get pissed at any of them for one bad year.
