Jeterfest Officailly Over

[James]

The media is to blame. As a baseball fan and someone who enjoys history I can appreciate the moment. I am sure any baseball fan can appreciate it. The state of modern media is what is to hate.

[NJHalo]

Over/under on the number of times in the playoffs that they mention Jeter when Trout comes up to bat.

I agree completely. I'm 30 years old, so Jeter's been playing pretty much the entire time I've been watching this game.

BUT, with that said, I'm over all this spectacle. I want to watch quickpitch and see highlights, not a Jeterfest reel for the millionth time

agreed. Much of it is a big money grab by the Yankees, mlb, and Nike, etc

gotta sell that jeets merchandise

Like I said on the last page. This last game should have been enough of a "salute". But all freakin season they (the major broadcasters) have shoved this season's billing as Jeter's last season down our throats. And they haven't been able to shut up about him for at least 15 years. Every national broadcast especially by Joe Buck, they'd bring up Jeter, even when the Yankees aren't playing.

This one day should've been enough. I'll shut up about him today. But I won't apologize for whining all season.

Derek Jeter is wearing a Jeter patch on his jersey.

I noticed that, and I hope they forced it on him to sell more jerseys with that patch. Otherwise, ego much?

PS I hate when people say "{insert thing} much".

My favorite Jeter picture.

There was Baseball before Jeter, and there will be Baseball after Jeter.

 

But it won't be the same. A certain sadness will descend upon major league ballparks throughout the land. An indefinable melancholy will take hold of fans everywhere as they ponder what once was, and will never be again. Folks will tell their grandchildren tales of this golden era when Jeter was part of the game. His famous flip to home plate from out of nowhere, his clutch postseason hits, his winning personality, his many beautiful girlfriends. Boys will pick up bats and gloves on sandlots and dream of Jeter. His name will be enshrined forever in the nation's consciousness, and never depart from the collective memory of our people.

 

Jeter. Derek Jeter. Nothing more needs to be said...

 

 

[Kenny]

I love that commercial about the postseason on MLBN that has Rojas saying LTBU.

[Kenny]

Bob Costas is now comparing Jeter to Ruth.

[m0nkey]

This is set up perfectly for jeetz now

[Kenny]

I want them to win, but I want the Yankee fans to be disappointed.

[Kenny]

Look, they have the light wave going, too.

[m0nkey]

They're going to give him a hit on that

When Pujols retires, if he does announce it will be his final season, we will probably see the same thing for him. And if we are lucky to keep Trout for the entirety of his career, his farewell tour will be the same.

...or the weekend after that.

 

what about the weekend after that?

No. Albert Pujols is not a lifetime Angel or a lifetime AL player. He would've been better off staying with the Cardinals to get that type of recognition.

He's is still a legend and the best player of our generation. You are crazy if you think clubs won't show him respect and he won't get some sort of farewell tour.

[Kenny]

Playing your entire career on one team is a dumb reason to praise or denounce a player.

Who wouldn't play for the Yankees during a period where they were winning WS and going to the playoffs every season? Jeter was paid top money to play for a good team, where would he want to go?

you forgot to mention the fancy gift baskets with the signed baseballs.

If Jeter hits a walk off HR, I will believe baseball is scripted lol.

[Kenny]

Costas is in full on Yankees play by play tryout mode.
