...and why are they allowed to write? I've bashed Schoenfield as a hack before, but this is silly, even by his standards; "Somehow, with a lineup of the AL's best hitters at his disposal, Red Sox manager John Farrell decided to have his worst batter lead off , simply inexcusable no matter what Jeter has meant to the game." http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/49745/bad-decision-to-bat-derek-jeter-leadoff
When a pitcher of Wainrights caliber states that he is "honored" to face Jeter as lead off hitter that more than reason enough to see the validity of that move. End of story.
...this Shoenfield clown reminds a lot of Skip f'n Bayless...he just says things with the express purpose of being controversial, regardless of whether his opinions have merit or not, and whether he really believes them or not. ...he reminds me of a quote targeted towards Obama...“negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board and then struts around like it won the game.”
Unlike Our Captain, this Schoenfield doik has not a clue what Class is......! Derek is the eptiome of Class,
Schoenfield should be writing for the National Enquirer, and keep pursuing Bigfoot, hopefully he will be the 1st to find the North American Yeti, and the Sasquatch will rip his head off and shid in it.....!
Wait a minute, getting a feed in my ear mic.....Bigfoot's Son, (only half grown) HAS been located, and was last seen playing in Fenway Park, complaining at the Score Keeper, and lying about his abuse of Steroids......some may know the Sasquatch offspring as Shrek.....!!!
And.....scores the 1st Run, may the AL win by that one run differential....got to hand it to Trout and Miggy as well....! Damn Derek's double looked like Classic Jeter at his best, a patented Jeter double/memory to remind all Jeter doubters, why he's the best SS of his time....!
Were I to pick a song that rolled with Jeters success on and off the field I'd have to go with "It Was A Very Good Year" original by the Kingston Trio in 1961. Upon hearing that version Mr. Sinatra decided to record it himself end resulting in a huge hit.
