2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread

[JDPNYY]

It's a shame he has to travel over the next few day. It would behoove him and the team to just take 4 days completely off.

People rest on planes too especially luxury jets like the one he's using.

[Sam18]

He's been coughing like that after since he got sick a few years ago.

Recurring STDs?

[wexy]

He has to get the big hit in the All Star game so we have home field in the Series.

[Sixty one]

How come no Yankee announcers mention his coughing or is it just a nervous habit?

[b-ball-lunachick]

I couldnt remember when Jeter had that bad of a series fielding wise.

I don't think the Fenway infield helps matters either..it's notoriously bad. Even Li'l Dusty says so.

Did the pop up he dropped take a bad hop?

I noticed it last night - never seen him do it before. I hope Tex's illness isn't making the rounds.

no lol but I saw after the last grounder where he only slightly bobbled it and didn't get the guy out which was ruled an infield hit that he seemed to be shaking his head and looking at the ground..i was waiting for "this effing infield" to be mumbled but it was Jeter, he didn't do it.

[JL25and3]

Did the pop up he dropped take a bad hop?

Or the tag he missed?

Thanks for posting, -tz. Now the song "And Then He Kissed me" by The Crystals is stuck in my head 'cause Jete's quote is just begging for some music and a beat.

"And then he popped it up real high;
I raised my glove, but it just went by.
It was so embarrassing, I almost died,
And then I dropped it!"

Chipper Jones on Jeter:

“I had a lot of animosity toward DJ early on in my career,” Atlanta’s Chipper Jones said. “He beat me in two World Series and I didn’t know him. I sat across the field from him so many times, saw all the accolades he was getting and was a little green with envy. Then I got a chance to play with him (at the 2006 World Baseball Classic) in the clubhouse, in the dugout, off the field at dinner. This is the best dude I have ever met. This guy deserves everything.”

It's good to know that somebody isn't afraid to admit publically there's some jealously involved where Jeter is concerned.

I'm jealous of Jeter, but it ain't about baseball.

Would you choose ass over being a MLer?

[grizy]

Pretty sure that depends on quantity and quality.

And financial situation.

[Mr Coffee]

Depends on the quality of said ass.

[False1]

Really? I've either not noticed it, or it's become more frequent and that has just caused me to notice it. Seriously, it seems like every time he digs in at the plate or they pan to him before or after a play in the field he's coughing.

Have no idea if that is having an effect or not, or if it's new or not.

[mhmajp]

Depends on the quality of said ass.

Presumably if you had an ML career like Jeter's that would get you all the high quality...companionship...you could ever want.

[JL25and3]

Presumably if you had an ML career like Jeter's that would get you all the high quality...companionship...you could ever want.

Never mind the ML career. He's made something like $220,000,000 before this year, with another $41,000,000 to come. That kind of money will get you the highest quality companionship regardless of what your career is.

[Eldee5]

On the pre-game show, Meredith Marakovitz mentioned that Derek Jeter gave the family of NJ native Mike Trout (who idolized Jeter as a kid) tickets in his personal suite for tonight's game.

Classy move by the Captain.

Of course, I hope the Trout family gets to watch an Angels' loss from those seats.

[mr.roy]

They did.

MVP consideration? Our aging shortstop?

Good luck with that.

The guy that wrote that article should be fired. Absolutely ridiculous.
