    Of course it's ESPN leading the way of the overabundance of coverage of failing Jeter.

    Reminds of when Biggio was in his final 3 seasons. Jeter is failing just as badly. He is a shell of himself.

    I liked the Mariano Rivera swan season last year because he was still at the top of his game.

    only 1 or 2 people here have seen a mlb game within the last decade. less than 5 percent have experienced your problem while 50% have no idea what youre talking about.


    6% have no idea who jeter is.

    seriously though, I have no problems with it. You simply have to have a remote. Then again, youve been watching baseball all year again, havent you? you poor soul. i tuned out when astros management did. although they are playing hard.

    Haven't watched baseball since 96 (Astros demise as you alluded to). I will tune in to the playoffs and world series a bit, though.

    Baseball is too boring to watch in the regular season. The games are meaningless. 1 of 162.

    The only reason I even pay attention to any baseball is fantasy baseball. But I still refuse to watch regular season baseball.

    but you must follow it. thats the rub. I had to get out of it on all levels. Now we just do against the spread leagues. I watch the playoffs obviously Did they add the extra wildcard this year?

    Man I hate the Yankees but that bastard Derek Jeter was one hell of a ball player. I'd take the Wizard over him if we are talking greatest shortstops of all time, but he isn't far behind.

    hes top 3 just on all around play and leadership. not sure there was a better winner. and hes a class act. he is who I thought arod would be before I knew about arod the vain, insecure person. anyhow, the captain earned his keep.
