Somehow when Al Leiter says it incorrectly, it's worse than ever. Maybe because he tries so hard to be so correct in everything else. The other pet peeve is "I could care less," but I think we've had that discussion here before.

Wow, what a season he´s having. It was also good to see Melky get some (key) hits, one of which the game winner. It was one of the ugliest games I ever watched, the pitching was just HORRIBLE, even though both teams have a decent bullpen (well, Yankees not quite that good, because Joba and Viz were unavailable).

That's what I was trying to say about Jeter, but due to my crap-grammar-surround-sound situation, I've been reduced to the worst-of-the-worstest phrases like "keepin' it real." Thank you for so deftly translating for me! And how DARE you insult me like that, Doc! I am funny in a BAD way. A very bad way. EXACTLY Andrea.

I was basically agreeing with you. I'm done trying to reason with the folks disagreeing with reason :) I don't really think that the fans should boo anyone, but I kind of agree with you that no one should get a by. While I don't think they should have been booing Jeter, they also shouldn't have been going "but it's ok cause he's Jeter." Don't boo A-Rod and then say "it's ok when Jeter does it' cause it's Jeter. I got yelled at by people when I yelled at the TV every time Jeter hit into a DP when he was DP happy for a while. I remember he hit into 2 or 3 in just ONE game...against the Red Sox no less, and I got angry and I was told I wasn't a real Yankee fan for getting upset with him because he's the Captain. Yeah, shut it. Bob--you'd be suprised. mostly little kids. They were getting Villone's autograph too. I think it's nice they do that. People like Mo can't do autographs really cause they would never be able to stop, but it's nice that the less-known guys do that. It makes a little kid's day.
