It’s Funny Because It’s True
By Indeed. Although I think the story needed a some gushing Tim McCarver quotes pointing out that only a truly special player could throw out Frank Thomas on a ball hit 18 inches from his glove hand…
The other irritating thing is that while Jeter–for all of his flipping the ball near home plate and willing Giambi not to slide and willing the umpire to blow the call-ing–remains a crappy defensive shortstop, he is having a near-MVP year with the bat, meaning that for the first time since 2000 he’s no longer the most overrated player in the game. Pig-fucker. (Anybody think the Yankees are spending another day out of the playoffs? Anyone? Ugh.)
