    Time to trade him for Willis. His value way up right now. Let's hope the FO gets cracking on this.
  2. a700hitter
    You are only tied for first, and you are down 2 games in the tie-breaker.
  3. a700hitter
    I heard that Giambi sprained his neck. I guess his head finally got too big for his body.
  4. a700hitter
    Hansen is much closer to ML ready than Lester. The only question is whether he will adapt to being stretched out as a starter.
  5. a700hitter
    He's not a bad CF either.
  6. a700hitter
    Jeter made another error? Is he wearing his Gold Glove in the field? Who is on a pace for more errors, Jeter or ARod?
  7. a700hitter
    This is a pathetic thread. Yanks having some problems with run production with Matsui and Sheff out.
  8. a700hitter
    Mr. Doubles triples. Where did that speed come from?
  9. a700hitter
    Markakis misplayed that foul ball. He should have had it.
  10. a700hitter
    Is Wily Mo being setup for more RBI?
  11. a700hitter
    Another big inning is brewing for the Sox. 2 on no one out.
  12. a700hitter
    ARod makes a slow pickup costing a DP
  13. a700hitter
    Negative Yankee news is always welcome. You are merely tolerated.
  14. a700hitter
    Beckett is a stud.
  15. a700hitter
    Moose gives up the long ball. He loves that long ball.
  16. a700hitter
    ...or a two-run single. This guy is an offensive force. He's getting better with the playing time. Maybe Coco will be a pinch runner when he comes back.
  17. a700hitter
    All it shows is that he has gone deep into games and he had a lot of quality starts. How's that a bad thing? It's not like he's been pitching on 3 days rest.
  18. a700hitter
    Wily Mo doing it with the glove and the bat, and Youk is still eating the Oriole's lunch. Nice double.

    Most players do not get enough opportunities for them to revert to their career baseline. In most player's careers, there are few post-season opportunities. The ones who perform above their level are the ones that deserve to be called clutch. The ones that perform below their regular season level are chokers. Jeter is somewhere in the middle. He just not a legendary post-season performer. He has just had the most opportunities. Bernie, on the other hand is very clutche. His regular season HR/AB ratio is 1/27, but his post season ratio is 1/22. That is stepping it up to a different level.

    Playing at the same level in the post season as the regular season is not clutch. It just means that he doesn't choke like Barry Bonds used to choke in his Pirate days. A clutch post-season performer is someone that raises the level of his play from his regular season play. A good example is Al Weis. In 10 seasons, he was a .219 hitter with 7 career HRs. In the 1969 World Series, he hit .455 with a Homer off Dave McNally in the 7th inning to tie the final game. That's a clutch ballplayer. Billy Martin was a clutch post season performer. Jeter is not a choker, but he is not Mr. Clutch either.

    Jeter is a very solid smart ballplayer. He certainly plays the game the right way. He's just not the icon that Yankee fans and the media have made him out to be. He's had more post-season opportunities than any player in history, so he's done some good things. He's just not that great. People don't make a special trip to see PD take batting practice. They go to see Pujols, Manny, Ortiz, Bonds. They went to games to see Ricky steal bases, Ozzie field, etc. There is nothing outstanding about PD...nothing. He's very good, but not great. Mo is great, and IMO Bernie's career is closer to great than PD.
  22. a700hitter
    It's not your eyes that are the problem. It's the rose-colored glasses that you are watching him through that are the problem. The cold-slap of statisics and player polls are apparently too much for PD worshippers to handle.
  23. a700hitter
    Nice long post from Riv., but out of the entire list I remember maybe one or two, and I am an insane obsessed baseball fan. There is nothing extraordinary on the list. The ones that I remember were not part of winning a World Series. A clutch player steps it up to a new level in big games. The fact is that PD's stats for post-season are just about the same as his regular season performance. He doesn't step it up to a new level.
  24. a700hitter
    The difference is that neither Red Sox fans nor the media celebrate Manny as the icon that Prima Donna is celebrated. Manny is an insane hitter and his numbers will overwhelmingly sweep him into the HOF. PD going to the HOF will depend on the strength of this bogus "Captain Intangibles" crap. The heart of the last Yankees dynasty is gone. It was the strong pitching not the Prima Dona SS. BTW The Yankeew didn't wint the Championship in 2001 either, so who cares about it.

    That same year Marichal won 26 games and McClain won 31.
