Your unwavering loyalty to a player who was an active detriment to his team for several years will never cease to be amusing.

The unwavering jealousy from those that don't understand never ceases to amaze me.

They can do whatever they want but in my opinion that should've been retired when Thurmon Munson died.

Yep, I'm jealous of a guy who couldn't do a lateral move in the last decade of his career.

To clarify, I'm not angry that he said it, as I happen to agree with him. I'm angry that he said it five years after the fact. I mean, why bring it up at all? And really if he really felt that way, why didn't he let Jeter walk so that signing Tulo may have been possible?

"Yup" is your rebuttal?

Oh, I didn't mean your anger, just the general Yankee fan anger on this subject.
And just the reactions in this thread of Jeter's perceived value might show you why he didn't do that.

Gotcha'. As far as why Yankees fans are angry, I can't answer that. I never bought into the Jeter hype. He was a good player who played his best in big moments--but he had his faults, certainly. I thought he should have switched positions when A-Rod joined the team instead of the other way around, and also thought he should have accepted a lesser role as far back as 2009, if not sooner.

The Cubs were having a hard time with Atlanta today. Fortunately they got to Edwin Jackson in the bullpen and hit back to back dingers to win 9-7.

I have been catching up on baseball for the past week, I was on a cruise without internet. Just watched ARods grand slam. I've never seen a more furious outpour of support for ARod. Hell he even had a curtain call.

The Cubs have another 5 HR game today en route to their 4th four game sweep of the year.
I think they're at 51 HR's since the all-star break, tied with the Orioles for most in the majors. More 7+ run games in the last month than they had in the 4 months before that. That includes two 8 run games in losses to Detroit.
Everybody is heating up right now, and a really good time of the year to be getting hot as a team.
20 games over .500, even after the 3 game losing streak.

The Cubs are three wins away from matching last season's total.
In August.
This team is pretty fun to watch. They still have too many holes to make a real playoff run, but they are a lot of fun to watch. Rizzo in particular is just a joy.

Re: 2015 MLB Season - Can the Cubs FINALLY win the World Series? (No.)
Yep, the holes are mostly (still) in the rotation, and a little bit in the bullpen.
A year ahead of schedule and not in (or near) first only because of the Cardinals.
I can see them gelling as a team since the break. If they're in the same position in a couple weeks, and are able to call up some good AAA guys, they could get a lot better.

Re: 2015 MLB Season - Can the Cubs FINALLY win the World Series? (No.)
Yeah, the rotation is worrisome. Lester and Arrieta are still going, but Hammel has been getting roughed up pretty regularly until today (and he got really shaky in the fourth), and Hendricks and Haren give me angina. James Russell is a dumpster fire in the pen.
Been really pleasantly surprised to see Fowler bouncing back at the plate, though.

Lester certainly was on an upswing till he met Detroit. Hopefully that was just "one of those games".
Fowler is absolutely on fire lately.
Last 30 days .317 .444 .604 1.048
Last 7 days .458 .519 .750 1.269

The price of five dingers in a day and a four-game sweep: Jorge Soler and Jason Motte to the DL. Motte out 3 - 4 weeks and Soler could miss a month. Addison Russell is day-to-day with a groin strain, meaning Castro is back to starting at short.

Injury bug biting them today. Soler to DL with oblique. Motte out with a shoulder.
Tommy LaStella does indeed exist and will play today!
