A-Rod tested positive

The ball was wound tighter...lots of what if's.

I know one Yankee player who never shot steroids.
David Wells.

I don't say this often, but you bring up a good point

I rarely think you make good points either, jackass

 

[soxmuscle]

Not really, look at

Carl Yastrzemski he hits no more than 20 homeruns from 61' to 66', then out of no where hits 44, 23, 40, and 40. Then never hits more than 28 for the rest of his career.

This can go in circles....​

Yea, it really wasn't a good point in the least.

Jeter is about as consistent as they come. His "career year" that I referenced was his age 25 season; coincidentally, the Red Sox have an upincoming short stop who's career path is quite similar to that of Jeter's and is about to enter his age 25 season in 2009.

His name's Jed Lowrie, not sure if you've heard of him

I want to shoot you!!!

 

[soxmuscle]

I doubt it will impact the other players, since many of them have already been exposed to the Arod circus (see stripper, Madonna, divorce, not to mention his on-field exploits such as the one he pulled while running the bases).

Actually... only a few of them have been exposed to the Arod circus of years past but none will be bigger (or even comparable) to the one they will go through in 2009.

so quickly back into the role of petulant child?

I was shocked to see the comparison.

Lowrie wasn't as heralded as a youngster as Jeter but I can imagine when it's all said and done, Jed Lowrie' name will be on this list of similar batters on Derek Jeter's baseball reference page:

1. Barry Larkin (901)
2. Alan Trammell (876)
3. Ryne Sandberg (870) *
4. Roberto Alomar (866)
5. Ray Durham (855)
6. Lou Whitaker (842)
7. Julio Franco (838)
8. Joe Torre (834)
9. Johnny Damon (824)
10. Bobby Doerr (818) *

yea, the pitchers mound being changed may have something to do with that. as well as him getting older in his career and his power going down.

All it would take is for him to finally come up with a big hit against Boston or hit 4 dingers and all will be forgiven.

If you doubt me look at how Giambi was forgiven......then again this is A-Rod.

Is it me or does he just come off as a phonie.

Jeter is getting older.....plus I they say the nightlife has him a bit worn.

 

[min0 lee]

Huh?

 

[min0 lee]

It's all fun and games till the Yankee and Boston fans get together....

thats a lucky bastard if half the stories of his prowess with the laddies are true

 

[soxmuscle]

A-Rod comes off as a person who desperately seeks to be accepted.

I really think the money and fame has gotten to him. Unlike Brett Favre, who craves any and all attention he can get, I think A-Rod would prefer to go unnoticed thus making his personality a lousy fit in New York.

When it's all said and done, deep down, I feel as if A-Rod will regret signing on with Boras and letting him dictate how his career will go.

He would have been a cult hero in the pacific northwest, instead they hate him.

He was the man in Texas, everbody liked him and his personality was never exposed to the public. I remember voting on all the ESPN polls as a youngin' hoping that A-Rod would win the MVP award; now, you couldn't entice me to do the same thing with the promise of Kim Kardashian's butthole in my mouth.

Your true colors really come out in New York, especially when you're such a highly talented player. Everybody wants to know what you're doing, what you're thinking, how you're spending your money, who you're dating, etc. and as much as A-Rod wants the most money and fame he can possibly get, I would bet he'd trade a lot of that in to be down in Arlington making a cool $252 million, hitting in a hitters haven of a ballpark and chasing records with the American people having no idea or no care of whether or not he ever took performance enhancing drugs.

Have you read the Jeter story about picking up girls?

Let me try and find it.

Of course, it may not be true but I value the opinion of the poster who posted it.

As promised, L'affaire de Jeter....

Two years ago I was working on a TV show for a national sports network (that has since been canceled, sadly) with a writer/producer who told me the following story. I worked with him for a year and I trust his version of events completely, as he is a careful, factual story teller and I've heard him tell it twice. His version is what follows and it does not do justice to the way he tells it- he is a great story teller, careful in remembering the details and walking the listener through the narrative with care. It's a shame you can't hear him tell it, you would enjoy it more. Anyhow, here is the story:

My source has a close friend that he describes as a "smoking hot chick." She works in public relations in New York City. Let's give her the phony name of "Liz" since it's easy to type. Liz often works VIP parties and functions and has met many celebs, but isn't prone to being starstruck. She is, however, a native New Yorker and a massive Yankees fan. For obvious reasons, Derek Jeter is someone who was on her sexual wish list.

One night while working a VIP party (circa 2003-ish) in the city, she noticed a man across the room, and there stood Number Two in the flesh. She made eye contact but was too shy to go over. No need to worry, the captain made the first move. He walked over to her and dropped the following pickup line- "WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES? WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS?" Liz was very nervous and managed to BS her way through about 20 minutes of chit-chat that seemed oddly generic to her. She thought she did well. Eventually Jeter gave her a cell number. It was the number to his personal driver. If she wished to visit him at his place after the party she could call that number and the driver would do the rest. She took the number.

At the end of the night Liz called the number, having no idea whether it was fake or real or whether Batman would show up. Sure enough it was the number to DJ's driver who picked her up at the event. I don't remember what kind of car it was, but as I recall I think it might have been a town car. Anyway, she gets a ride directly to Jeter's building. It was a large apartment building with a doorman, etc and she was whisked to a private elevator that went directly up to Jeter's penthouse apartment.
The elevator door opens and she is immediately met by a butler (or manservant if you wish) who says that "Mr. Jeter is ready for you in the bedroom." Liz is escorted directly to the door as the butler then moves away for privacy.

She opens the bedroom door to see a shirtless Jeter by the bed wearing only a pair of jeans. He turns to look at her and gives her a glance that says 'I see you've made it here, that means one thing only- we are about to get it AWN and you are not leaving until that happens.' Liz says the look made it crystal clear that there would be no further communication or social graces of any kind until he got what he wanted.

The dirty details? Well, I don't have info as to positions and such, but I can say that she reported that he was in perfect physical shape and was generously endowed, however the evening's proceedings were, shall we say, very short lived. No foreplay, no mystery, just right down to it and over very quickly. She found it a bit odd, impersonal and not exactly the dream date she had imagined that it might be. He was very polite throughout, though and let her stay the night and had the driver give her a ride back to her place the next morning. She felt it was more like a business deal then a hook up. However, she was quite pleased with the accomplishment and went about her life with a nice little story to tell.

Months went by and she went back to her job and her life. While at another VIP event whom did she happen to spot, but Derek Jeter once again mingling amongst the crowd. She wondered what she should do- go over to say hi and to remind him of their night together? Would he remember that they did it? Should she just run away? Before she could finish her thoughts guess who saunters over? Yup, it's Jetes again. And guess what his first sentence is? Yup, you guessed it- "WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES? WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS?" She laughs and gives him the option of remembering that they shared a night together with the exact same opening line. It's clear that he did not remember any of it at all.

So, Liz is curious to see if she can land her dream guy a second time. And she does. She doesn't let on that she's been through this before and so Jeter gives her the exact same spiel. She gets the driver's number, gets driven to his place, gets shown in by the butler, goes to the bedroom door, he's once again by the bed in only his jeans, gives her the same RoboSex look, and the exact same hook up session ensues- quick, almost machine-like in its efficiency and devoid of any kind of variety. The guy is just a creature of habit, I guess. Liz never let on that she had done this before and DJ never figured it out either. Liz thought this was hilarious and typical jock dude behavior.

So, the next time you type 'Jeter' into Google and the word "herpes" pops up as an option, the story of Liz might shed some light as to why this might be the case- he's a repeat offender.

I never met "Liz" in person so I can't confirm any of this independently, but I trust my proxy source totally and I believe that this happened exactly the way that it did. Hope you all found some entertainment value in it. Sorry there's no Giambi Jiz lick punch line involved, but it gives you an inside look at his personality I suppose.

At first I thought he didn't like all of this attention but the more I read about him I now think differently.
Some former players are calling him an attention whore who wants the spotlight.
Only problem is that most of it is negative publicity.

[tucker01]

This is the stance I hold.

In the same light, who's to say some of the greatest legends (Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, etc) shouldn't be in the hall of fame considering only whites were allowed to play the game. In other words, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez wouldn't have even been allowed to play in their era; because the majority of the world wasn't allowed to play in those times and knowing just how good some blacks and 'cans are at the sport of baseball, should we ignore that era too?

Or how many homeruns did Babe Ruth actually hit. Considering the Ground Rule Double wasn't implemented until 1930. Before that anything that was hit over the fence in the air or after a hop was considered a homerun.
