Gee, the season long Jeter BJ continues with a contrived commercial. I'm sure Michael Jordan gives two shts about Jeter retiring.
 
Jordan named his last son "Derek Jeter Jordan".

Hey! Cleveland gave him a pinstriped electric guitar!!! The Angels gave him a paddleboard!

The way all the fans in Minny and all the all stars in MLB feel about the guy and yet you have your own little island Deep? Lonely place I'm guessing……...:cool:

Did you hear the fan yell "overrated!" when he got his first hit? I'm not alone, my friend.

Overrated? Please. Everyone, probably including himself, knows he's not the best shortstop in the AL now, but the All-Star game is first and foremost an entertainment event. Whatever you feel about the guy, in the next month he'll be 6th all-time in hits. (And yes, he's played a number of years, but everyone else in the top 10 played longer). During his entire career, he's been an impeccable representative of the sport. As much as anyone, he deserves a tip of the hat.
 
The resentment is amazing.

The Sox actually have won a few titles now but their fans are still the as small minded, petty and miseerable as they were a decade ago. They are the PC fans of major league baseball.

If true I apologize to all Sox fans on the board.

Are you merely a miserable fan of some other team or are you just trying to get a reaction by being inflamatory on a message board?

Or maybe I don't fawn all over Jeter like a fanboy.

I am pretty sure he is a Mets fan.

Me too. Great commercial and Derek deserves the respect. Next year it will be much easier to hate the Yankees again.

Let's not get carried away with the lovefest...easy to hate them now too....
 
Like Deep, I am a Mutts fan. Unlike Deep, I think Jeter deserves the respect; and when that fan yelled "overrated" the split second before he hit that double I thought it was a perfectly fitting moment. The guy delivers and does all those things that sound cliche, but imo it is real and it matters.

My favorite part of the commercial was the blurred out Mr. Met hat tip. Hysterical.

I hate the Yankees with the white-hot heat of 1,000 suns, but I have a ton of respect for a handful of their former and soon-to-be former players. Mariano, Jeter, O'Neill and Bernie are the ones who come to mind.
 
I 'm a sox fan too. And I think the yanks fans should be taking this win gracefully. Two full years of congratulating the great ambassadors of the game.

Most sox fans have great respect for DJ and Mo last year. The ones that don't are jealous that we will probably never see a great play out their whole career in a sox jersey.

But it's hard to take the enormity of the lovefest while seeing yanks fans here endlessly bash players like Ortiz. Sure the guy is whining , but he's no Arod either.

Do you want to really know is overrated in NY, David Wright. Over the last 5 years he averages .293 BA 77 Runs 18 HR 77 RBI. And that is not including this year which is even worse.

And that gets him a $140 million contract. Now that is overrated.

That's fine. No argument here.

Hey ARod is NOT a Yankee……..Ortiz is a Red Sock……..
 
.-.
am I the only one who thinks he's completely over-rated?
 
Arod was absolutely a Yankee in '13 when he was caught.

I give every player who got caught early a pass. I'm sure there were lots of guys who didn't get caught who were doing it. Doesn't matter, it was a different culture then.
Anyone who was caught after the culture changed was just plain stupid. And that includes Arod. But It wouldn't be fair to hold that against the yankees. I believe Arod was stupid without any organizational encouragement.

If Ortiz gets caught in the post steroid era i will be the first to agree he is not only stupid but also an a hole.

Ortiz won't get caught post steroid era nor will any of the other obvious users………these guys have something else and they figured a way around it but that's baseball now. Has ARod ever tested positive? I ask that seriously as I am unsure as to whether he did as far as "post era".

And I agree it's not fair to hold the Yankees accountable nor any other organization. But signing these guys is chancy nowadays! Eventually the testing will figure it all out………of course unless they just don't care to!!
 
You're right that they could catch anybody eventually, just like with Lance Armstrong. But there are guys getting caught now.

Arod didn't test, he was ratted and doubled down even after seeing what happened to Clemens for doubling down. Both guys were trying to protect HOF legacies.

I'm sure Ortiz did it and lied about it that was the culture. And whether fair or not he wasn't put in a situation where he had to lie under oath and keep making up stories.

But why are you so certain he is still using where other guys who had long steady careers but not necessarily power are beyond suspicion?
 
I guess the truth is I'm not sure………maybe it's unfair because of the culture but to me his name was on there and he did when he started to get power. He didn't have power in Minny for the most part so it suddenly entered as he played with Manny, and it hasn't gone away so I assume. He's not the only one mind you, there's so many guys it's hard to believe otherwise. I laugh when I see Gomez in the All Star game, looking a lot bigger than he was when he couldn't hit his way out of a wet paper bag………the list goes on and on……..I love Mike Trout and the way he plays but unfortunately for him he's in an era where you're that good and that strong the question marks are there, hope not but it's reality!
