Derek Jeter Actually Made A Stupid Decision?

Found October 30, 2009 on No Guts, No Glory: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Derek Jeter
TEAMS: New York Yankees

Naw man. I aint saying he made a stupid decision. This is all coming from the "clutch", "great", "awesome", "Mr. Yankee" himself. "That was me," Jeter said. "That was stupid." "I had the bunt early on and it was taken off, but I thought I would try to do it," Jeter said. "It was dumb for me to try and do it with two strikes," he said. Man, this just can't be right. Derek Jeter doesn't make stupid decisions. There has to be an explanation. Someone needs to clean this up. Paging Joe Girardi. "Derek Jeter is a very smart baseball man," Girardi said. "If he feels he can do the job in that situation, I’m not going to bark at him. He felt he could get it done, and he didn’t get it done." Ok, I feel much better now.

  • Yeah but if he gets that bunt down nobody would even be saying any of this. I know this McArver, and that little twit Buck loved it. They are such transparent Yankee Haters it's pathetic.

  • They are really big transparent Yankee haters, can't stand it.

  • Really? I think McCarver is more of a Phillies guy, but you can definitely tell Buck is in for the Yanks.

  • Hell they are both for the Phillies, Buck a bit more so. Take notice of how he calls a Phils homer as opposed to a Yankee homer, it's a joke. Not that I care, he can kiss my ass with all the rest of the Yankee Haters.
