Here’s the announcement from the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory…
Louisville, KY (October 12, 2011) — Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory added another superstar to its roster Wednesday as it unveiled a lifelike sculpture of Derek Jeter, team captain of the New York Yankees and future baseball Hall of Famer.
To welcome the new sculpture, the museum will celebrate “Derek Jeter Day” this Saturday, honoring the Yankee Captain. As part of the celebration, a game used Derek Jeter bat will be added to the museum’s Hold a Piece of History exhibit, allowing guests to hold a bat actually used by Jeter. Guests will also receive Jeter mini bats at the conclusion of each factory tour, while supplies last.
In addition, for “Derek Jeter Day” the museum will offer a special $2 admission in recognition of Jeter’s #2 jersey. Proceeds from Saturday’s ticket sales will be donated to Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation.
“We are thrilled to feature Derek Jeter in the museum,” said Anne Jewell, Executive Director at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. “Jeter is a baseball rockstar, an ambassador for the game and a huge fan favorite. We’re proud to include him in our lineup of baseball greats and we know our guests will love it. ”
Jeter, the longtime Yankees shortstop, joins elite company as he is just the fourth person honored with a statue at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. The only other player sculptures in the museum are baseball legends Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and Ken Griffey, Jr.
“It’s a true honor to be recognized in this way by Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory,” said Derek Jeter. “Louisville Slugger is synonymous with baseball. I’ve used the same bat model (P72) throughout my career and it’s a privilege to have such a tribute in this great museum devoted to the skill and history of hitting,” he said.
Since his major league debut in 1995, Jeter has been one of baseball’s most popular figures and is currently the all-time New York Yankees hit leader. He has been selected as an All-Star 12 times, won the Silver Slugger award four times and earned the Gold Glove award on five occasions. He won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1996 and helped the Yankees win the World Series the same year.
Jeter was also an integral part of World Series championship-winning teams in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009. He is the only player in history to win both the All-Star Game MVP Award and the World Series MVP Award in the same year. He has served as the Yankees’ team captain since 2003 and collected his 3,000th career hit earlier this season.
The sculpture unveiling coincides with Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory’s 15th Anniversary Year. In May, the museum welcomed its record 3-millionth guest. With 234,771 visitors last year, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory broke its attendance record in 2010; a record unmatched since the museum opened for its first full year in 1997.

Who is that?
It looks a little off…
Beware Cylon Jeter.
I think its the nose and big chin. Not a good job to say the least.
So close yet so far. Fat Elvis Jeter?
That statue, or really wax figure, reminds me of someone, but not Jeter.
When they say a statue, I was picturing a bronze statue, not a wax work.
I think it looks a bit like Thome.
And he looks like Jeter”s older brother
Face needs to be narrower from mouth down
Eppler interviewing for Angels too.
Mark Feinsand
The Yankees have granted the Angels permission to interview both Billy Eppler and Damon Oppenheimer for their vacant general manager job.
When they finished this, they had to realize they screwed up, right?
Maybe someone in China made it? I hear they do a bang up job with our national heros.
I don’t know who Eppler is, but i certainly don’t want Oppenheimer to go…I rather have him taking care of the draft for the Yankees
Sounds like a nice place to visit.
On another note – Harold Reynolds on the MLB show just called out Theo, for letting Terry Francona take the heat, and fall on his sword, and then going out and getting another job with a promotion (team president).
Interesting.
Looks like Jeter, Berkman & Laird had a child
Looks like Thome.
Anyway, what a great honor.
The records and honors just keep piling up for Jeter. Not bad for someone who’s just a “singles hitter.”
I like Harold

GB, Buchholz pitching a no hitter was the only thing that put him on that pedestal. He is a decent pitcher, but when you saw him being sent back down and remaining in the minors it would have raised some eyebrows about his “stuff”. His no hitter and him being a Red Sox player is what elevated him in the eyes of NESPN, and they seem to dictate the sports talking points.
————————————————————————————————————————-
You see it often enough on here about Buchholz is outstanding…Buchholz is sensational….
To me, all three so far are pretty much the same pitchers. They all have something else in common. They’re all 1st round picks who have had injuries. Not sure if that year in the bullpen helped or hurt Hughes. It cost him a lot of immings and a big innings jump. he hadn’t pitched a 100 inning season since 2007 (barely) and that was a huge jump for a 23 year old to make. Gotta think that’s one reason that he dropped of so sharply in the second half of 2010. Just wearing down.
it’s past now, but, I think he rebounds to somewhere between his first 3 months of 2010 and his last 3 months of 2011. Mid -to high 3 ERA and contimue to improve. Not sure that he’ll be a 200 strikeout pitcher a year, but certainly a solid #2 or #3 type and that pretty good. It took a few years for Sabathia to become Sabathia.
Joe,
If they sent Swisher to a team like Philly, I’m asking for Mayberry in return. Maybe add a David Phelps or a Corbin Joseph (who has no place to play) and a bit of offsetting money and get a minor leaguer back with Mayberry.

Well, that statue is a bit off. And by a bit, I mean a lot.
Definitely some uncanny valley action going on there:

MLB Network: According to John Heyman, NYY are the favorites for the CJW sweepstakes.
Where have I heard this before
Miggy with a chance here. Probably be tempted to walk him even in this situation. However, Victor has been hitting a little bit better as of late so I suppose you pitch to him.
Miggy’s ABs are practically the only time I become interested.
I really despise this guy
If anyone gets to Louisville, this museum is a must see. Went twice in the last 2 years when I was there for business. Now with The Captain there, will have to go again in January.
Hmm. A stud hitter who is ACTUALLY coming through for their team in the post season. What a concept…
Not sure if Paul Maholm would be worth looking into if Pittsburgh doesn’t pick up his option. Not a top 2 or 3 rotation pitcher, but is left handed. I wouldn’t trade for him and have to pick up his $9.75 mil option, though. he missed the last 6 weeks with a shoulder strain.
Brand Ainge !
On Fire .
WoW !

I prefer my STUD HITTER to sit on the bench
They say a fish rots from the head down (or something like that). Listening to EEI it appears that these problems didn’t just suddenly appear. And where were the big boys when it was going on? Out on their yachts?
You remember how Beckett, Lackey and Lester ended their season? Not on a high note. In fact, I believe the Showalters beat Beckett twice in the last week. Lester couldn’t get out of the 5th inning.
Who were the three frat boys who sat in the clubhouse swilling beer, eating chicken, and playing video games? None other than that unholy trio.
EEI said it, ESPN has said it, and MLB tv has said it. There is no magic elixir that is going to do any quick healing on that team, where players aren’t getting along and pitchers don’t bother staying in shape.
And did you hear that some players were accused of stealing things out of other players’ lockers and the organization is thinking of putting cameras in the lockerroom?
I guess once a laptops stealer, always a steal of some sort. (No idea if it’s Beckett.)
I remember Gammons right after THE GREATEST COLLAPSE IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL saying that are sometimes team-defining moments where some loss has been so devastating that the team never recovered. He gave examples but they were in other sports. He wondered out loud if the same thing could happen to the Sux.
THE GREATEST COLLAPSE IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL, minus any of the other crap going on, maybe you regroup in a few years and come back okay. That collapse with players not getting along, stealing going on, and frat boy behavior?
They’ll be lucky to play 500 ball next season.
boy I was mad at Girardi for challenging Cabrera once in the Division series but if Texas blows this series there are going to be some questions asked of Washington of just why he keeps letting Cabrera beat him.
Ha they just showed some fan on TBS bringing in squirrel food to the game at Busch. Too funny.
Smart money says don’t believe any trade rumors. Unless you haven’t been around the block before and then believe them all.
The media is paid to get readers reading.
Wait until the postseason is over and your team gives you some idea on where it sees itself going.
No matter how much anyone joneses for a player, it’s silly to bank your hopes on it.
How many guarantees were made on this forum that Crawford was going to be a Yankee?
GO RANGERS!
GO BREWERS!
Doc Joe……Terry Fran is very well respected and liked in the players community and certainly are viewing this as in the past just another bush league maneuver by ownership…Maybe even more so….Does anyone else see a lot of Manny Ram-Bam’s swing in Miguel Cabrera in recent years…..For some reason I think his best year is yet to come……..FB, I know one or two here who think Lester and Bucholtz walk on water…..
You read my mind regarding Maholm GB.
In fact, I believe the Showalters beat Beckett twice in the last week. Lester couldn’t get out of the 5th inning.
///
Beckett unspooling twice in that series was a true joy.
Really wish the Yankees had traded for Miggy
GB, I agree with your comments on Hughes. My biggest concern for him is about him being able to remain healthy. He has had some odd injuries that curtailed his career so far, especially this past season with the dead arm.
The key to Hughes will be if he can stay healthy for the whole season.
i’m really disappointed that the Rangers haven’t hit these mediocre Tigers pitchers….
We have our own Miggy. We just have to make use of him.
J Al – Beckett is an over-the-hill fat lazy hick. He couldn’t care less about winning. He got his rings. Now he’s on cruise control.
Their rotation next season is going to be as horrific as it was this season, if not moreso.
Get ready for the dismantling.
boston is burning.
Yeah ok Pat M……..
J Al – can you imagine if Yankee players were doing the same things the Sux players have been doing? We’d be beside ourselves with upset. Talk about mailing it in!
As much as I can’t stand the little munchkin, the hobbit plays the game the way it should be played.
“Get ready for the dismantling.
boston is burning.”
More than we can even wrap our minds around.
LGY,
I rather see Montero on our lineup, besides, Cabrera is a A..hole and he is not a good presence in the dugout
Tricia……When you start extending core players to very friendly, under the market value and then bring in 20 million a year guys it causes some under current problems that will blow-up once hard times ( losing ) come about…….One hell of a mess Theo is walking away from…
We have our own Miggy. We just have to make use of him.

Montero is extremely talented and has a very bright future but very little chance he is Miguel Cabrera.

Looks like Jeter and Gehrig had a baby to me.
Imagine Miggy AND Montero!!
Good evening, Simon. How’s our young shortstop doing? Hope all is well with you and Mrs Templar. Maholm might be a decent pick-up misus the option cost. If not as a starter, then in the bullpen. Just not at that cost.

Pat M…Play Nice!
West Coast Sux fan couldn’t crow enough about the beantown bizarros, and he had some company here.
Pat M – how very sad that there are guys in the clubhouse who didn’t want Crawford. My feeling? Who the F do they think they are? Talk about entitlement! That’s why it’s clear that those inmates have taken over the asylum.
You want to know why AGon and Crawford weren’t going to make the difference (besides the fact that they were merely replacements for even better players)? Because when you have a slovenly, arguing, clubhouse that’s been allowed to go unchecked, great players merely become bandaids on corpses.
Pat M – I referred to the goup of posters who always overvalue the Sux as the Suxers Annual Laudatory Committee. The Sux could decide to fold up the team next year and play every other game and I swear the usual suspects would guarantee us that they needed to be watched because they were going to pobably overtake the Yankees.
Is it still 2-0, Miggy?

GordonEdes Big Schill: “There are guys who are going to step on field on Opening Day and get booed louder than any NY Yankee ever was”
Pat M, wow…….so I actually think Lester is a tremendous pitcher and Buchholz is good. It doesn’t take a genius to think the former – and Buchholz is good. It’s not my problem if you want to take the quantum leap to “walking on water”. Why does it bother you that I think so highly of Lester (most people do) and actually think Buchholz is good? Yeah, you can say it doesn’t, but why even passive aggressively refer to me? No I’m not sensitive – it was apparent you were referring to me. I’m not going to apologize for wishing Lester was in pinstripes or thinking Buchholz is a good pitcher…………but I’m not going to continue defending it either as I don’t think there’s any point to doing so.
You’re right. There is very little chance that Montero is Miggy. Id like to think that its improbable Montero will become a fat drunk.
LGY,
OK,
Luis, I don’t think it is so far out there for Hughes to be around those type of numbers. Hughes has shown times of being able to do that, but the whole season body of work seems to be just out of his grasp.
If he can have a healthy year, I’ll be pretty happy. I think he could reach those type of numbers if he takes the ball every 5.
That was meant to bait me……….I’m sorry I fell for that trap
“So Trisha, you’re up there. Is the clubhouse beer of choice Pete’s Wicked Ale?”
I think it’s called Knock-kneed Joshy’s Home-Brewed Wizz Water.

Many people point to the rubber game on sept 1 as the beginning of their downfall.
LOL, Trisha. Are you actually having discussions with shell shocked Red Sox fans up there?
Lock, Gammons is at least positing the possibility that the Sux will never be the same behind that collapse.
You’re definitely not going to be watching a competitive team next year. Who knows about whether they ever will be again – not that they ever really were! Unless of course you want to consider2004* and 2007*

I’m not surprised. Fister did decently and Porcello did splendidly in their respective (albeit few) starts vs the Rangers in the regular season.
also, not sure Fister can be classified as ‘mediocre’ considering he finished in the top ten in the AL in ERA and WHIP
GB. Mrs. Templar is fine. Working too hard saving lives – now they should be paid millions. And baby Simon is fine, getting ready for his 1st contract renewal. We’re still on track for him as opening day SS in 2028 or 2030.
Jeter will be retired by then, won’t he?
I was just responding to your out of the blue comment to me directly….Frankly it doesn’t really require the whole pseudo psychological med-book reference…Passive aggressive, really >…….Once again, it’s alright for error, it’s a human trait…Well for most of us I suppose….
Yogi,
I’m sure that Hughes can make those numbers a reality if he stays healthy, that’s the key. I think he knows that he has to come to ST very healthy and in top form, because he is going to have a lot of competition.
LGY,
Seriously, believe me when i tell you that Miggy is not the kind of player you want in a Yankee uniform. In fact, i would dare to say that he is the “Anti Yankee” player….selfcentered, no ethics and very obnoxious as person.
Actually, Hughes’ 2010 numbers were pretty close to those average Pettitte numbers. He’s more than capable of repeating that. Pettitte’s career ERA was just a shade under 4.00
J Al – one of my sisters is heavily invested in them and also heavily realistic. She really has major concerns about who the team has become and the chances for their regrouping.
She certainly knows more about the Sux than some posters on the lohud forum who watch them from afar and don’t even bother watching their games but continue to yammer about their great excellent pitching, when Lester has really fallen off and by all indications has become a clubhouse slob.
Yes, Betsy, I’m talking about you.

beer, video games, and chicken notwithstanding Lester is still excellent???? Fallen off from what?
Face
Did you see the rlyw post about your boy Darvish?
ESPN is loaded with egg on their faces from their Boston predictions of 2011. Will they ever learn ?
simon, Jeter is going to hold the spot open for simon, Jr. Doesn’t look like he’s going to supply his own replacement. Congrats to Little simon on his first renewal. Mrs Templar is a nurse or a paramedic? Both great occupations. Congrats on overshooting your coverage.
Trisha, I’ve known quite a few Sox fans in my time that had the low down. Your sister is like them, I guess.
Lester can throw dominant games, but his pitch counts running on the high side isn’t really a new thing for him, & this year all those extra pitches wore him out and he couldn’t cut the ball well. I don’t consider him to be in C’s class, for example.
Buccholz hasn’t been efficient enough to warrant his lowish K rates.
I just went and read it now that you pointed it out. Cool, I love SG’s stuff. He is optimistic about Darvish so I will continue to trumpet that horn.
Come on Rangers, all you need is a blast!
Hi Trisha,
I gather from your last post that you have the enemy in your own family as i do!!, i allways tell my brother that nobody is perfect!!
YES!!!!! (a bannable offense when Pete was here)
boston needs to learn from the yankees, you can’t let 22 year old millionaires make all their decisions for themselves. they’ll screw up. lester is a prime example. he must have put on 20 pounds from 2010
gotta keep those kids hungry
luis, of 6 kids, I was the only Yankee fan. In fact I was the only Yankee fan in my household when I was growing up.
kd – Lester definitely got fat!
YES!!!!! Elvis has entered the house!
To say difinitively that the rs won’t be competitive next year & might never be again,shows that a person knows very little about reality & baseball.
it’s why teams hire nutritionists and trainers for young players. i would think they’d want to protect their investments.
it’s almost comical that they would leak marital problems. why would anyone want to work with those people?
The rs need a manager that takes no crap.
Listening to what lackey,becket,buchholz,lester & others did makes me sick.
I hate lackey & becket even more now.

Wow!!, that says everything about you!. We are 9 kids, and we have 3 yankee fans, 1 Sux, the rest don’t follow the MLB as close as those i mentioned before. Boy!, i guess that you have had to be very tuff to hold your ground in your house! good for you!!
“To say difinitively that the rs won’t be competitive next year & might never be again,shows that a person knows very little about reality & baseball.”
I heartily disaree. It means to me that the person knows a lot more about the team than fans of another team posting on the other team blog.
I give myself credit for being more in touch with lots about the Sux because I am right near them – as I certainly believe posters in NY know infinitely more about the Mets than I could hope to – or actually care to.
In turn, I believe my sister as a follower of that team and an avid fan knows even more about them than I do.
I think it’s common sense based on everything that has come out to figure they are not going to have a banner year next season. You don’t flip a switch on cancer.
Time, of course, will tell.
YES!!!!!
GO LITTLE ELVIS!!!!
Awww, did the wain hurt the widdle tigers? I HOPE SO!
Let’s Go Rain !
Let’s Go Rain !
If you aske me….I have the feeling that the Sux are going to enter in to a bit of a funk, like the Muts did a few years ago….I just hope that they hire Minaya as their GM.
Ron Washington is the only manager in baseball that I can think of who is able to get away with his constant cheerleading in the dugout. Dude acts like a fan in Section 203.
Good stuff, but if Girardi ever tried that the media would kill him for being to classless.
RT @GordonEdes Big Schill: “There are guys who are going to step on field on Opening Day and get booed louder than any NY Yankee ever was”
Miguel Cabrera didn’t want to be a Yankee .. “too many rules”.
luis, it wasn’t really that hard. When you’re one of a lot of kids, I think you automatically learn to hold your own. Truth be told, I think it would have been a lot harder for me if the Sux were a decent team and the Yanks were the dreg team!

Yep. Just ask the Mets.
While they could be competitive, the problems in that clubhouse are abundant. There will be a lot of changes, and there is no telling what those changes will do. Typically, teams that have a year like the Saux did, don’t do well for a while afterwards. It may not be guaranteed, but it isn’t easy for a team to overcome.
I seriously cannot imagine any baseball person who could go in there and establish the kind of order they need – other than someone like Sweet Lou, and he’s not managing anymore.
You see what happened to someone with Tito’s temperament. He’s lucky he had roiders or he wouldn’t have sniffed a world series.

++++++++++++
I find it off putting to see a manager act like he does. I guess I just expect some professionalism from a manager of a club. It makes me think he is not totally rational.
I don’t like Washington. I don’t like Ryan either. The comments made from that Club about the Yankees just rubbed me wrong.
Spot on, Yogi

Correct!

Let’s hope not!
You know, Alexi is getting squeezed. GRRR!!!!
GB, overshoot is right, but it seems like we both have families with long histories working in hospitals. She’s actually one of the white lab coat variety. Makes home prognoses easier.
Simon Jr. has an arm all right. Jeter’s jump throw will be a distant memory once you see his. LOL.

Tell that to the Phillies
If you remember, Tito was a loser of a manager. He was brought on solely for SCurt Schilling
Man, Pujols is either working on getting St. L to pay him big or auditioning for other teams to make Cards fans cry at the end of this season. He may not have had a great start to the year, and had that injury, but he has been a beast in the post season.
Imagine him playing in Yankee pinstripes. I don’t see it happening, but still… I can dream.
I can think of 100 reasons to cheer against the Tigers: DUI Fat Drunk, Agglio Ordonez, Verlander, loser Austin Jackson, etc. etc. etc.
At least Hamilton is a good guy. Ive met him and family during ST in Florida. Class act, even though he pounded us and CC last year. Although I really despise W. Bush and Nolan Ryan
LG – because I think the cheating Tigers have to atone for the Kenny Rogers pinetar postseason. We certainly were affected by it.
So I want to see the Tigers lose.
Plus I had a bunch of Rangers on my fantasy team and I’ve gotten to really care about them.
I had Ogando. His stuff is pure nasty!
Now LG, I want the Brewers to win the whole thing. (Shaun Marcum plus Rayn Braun last season). I definitely don’t want the Rangers to win the WS.
At least Hamilton is a good guy.

Jerkface, the Phils did not tank the way the Sux did. Plus the Phils didn’t have organizational drama and teammate furor. The Sux have a lot going on.

GB, overshoot is right, but it seems like we both have families with long histories working in hospitals. She’s actually one of the white lab coat variety. Makes home prognoses easier.
Simon Jr. has an arm all right. Jeter’s jump throw will be a distant memory once you see his. LOL.
————————————————————————————————————————-
Simon, if she was a nurse or paramedic, I was going to have you put her on and tell her about this pain I have. No sense in paying for medical advice when you can get it free.
With Simon Jr., never too young to get him started on switch hitting and throwing with both arms. Maybe on the days he’s not playing shortstop, he could relieve and set up Mariano….or Mariano Jr.

Typically, teams that have a year like the Saux did, don’t do well for a while afterwards

Tell that to the Phillies
++++++++
When did they have a huge collapse like the Sox? 1964? They didn’t do anything till the 80′s from that season, where they blew a 6.5 game lead with something like 12 games to play.
Is there another season for them that you are thinking of?

You met Hamilton?
Pat M – I don’t have any money on this!!!
The only money bet I made was that Jeter would hit 300 by the end of the season. And the only reason I made it was because Brian Sux fan is INSUFFERABLE when it comes to the Yanks and he absolutely despises Jeter. I don’t know if I believed it when I made it because I think he was hitting his lowest at that point. But there’s no way I was going to let some lowly Sux fan take shots at Jete.
I remain convinced that Jeter regained his stroke right after he lost some weight – that weight being his relationship with Minka Kelly.
What are you talking about?? Hamilton killed a guy??? I know he’s had some drug problems and drinking problems, but please remind me of when he killed a guy…
Doesnt matter to me anyway if he did kill a guy, I like Hamilton. I like his appearance, his joy for the game, his professionalism, and I liked his family, and I thought it was cool that he was shopping with them in just a regular mall with regular Joe Shmoes getting Auntie Annie’s pretzels.
Oh, you mean Shannon Stone… ha ha. Very funny.
I never even heard of Freese until this post season.. guy is on fire. This Cardinals/Brewers series has been pretty action packed. Reminds me of how much I love the sport of baseball regardless who is playing.
However, if the Cards should beat the Brewers I don’t want anyone to win the world series.
Yogi Mantle October 12th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
He is a terrific player, but he has no place in the Yankees….Besides, he may have had a poor start, but i think he is starting to breakdown….The last thing the yankees need is another longterm contract for an aging star.
At least Hamilton is a good guy. Ive met him and family during ST in Florida. Class act, even though he pounded us and CC last year. Although I really despise W. Bush and Nolan Ryan
————————————————————————————————————————-
Not many class acts blow $7 mil in 2 years on drugs and steal their wife’s diamond engagement ring and sell it for a fix.
I thought the Brewers were gonna own the Cards but man, how quick things change..
Yes, I met Hamilton.
I also met Pete Abe and took a picture with the fat turd (like a moron) and met Kay, and like a criminal, I asked him to say “See ya” for me and so the jerk off said “See ya for me.” I shouldve put an end to Kay’s career with the Yankees right there. Oh well, prison wouldnt agree with me.

That’s what happens when you have a disease, GreenBeret. Nobody would expect you to have the intelligence to understand that.
I can think of 100 reasons to cheer against the Tigers: DUI Fat Drunk
At least Hamilton is a good guy.
——————————–
I assume you’re talking about Miggy, well, Hamilton would have to be called a drug addict then.
And then later you would try to destroy his blog. He should have tried to put an end to your “career”
Before the Phils became a lock for the PS every year, they had the stigma of never being able to finish strong in sept/oct. They also lost the NL East in 2001. Nothing like a huge collapse, but it cost their manager a job.
What does everyone here think is going to happen? They are going to forget how to play baseball because they lost?
Locks for the AL east crown? Probably not. But still in the playoff hunt.
It’s a disease he created. No sympathy for that. Make all of the excuses you want.
Classy drugs, maybe?
stfu Jeers. Nobody tried to ruin a blog. Justice was sought, or so it was rationalized in the brain of a diseased person.
I dont give a sh.t what you want to call it. Fat Drunk looks like a criminal, a murderer. Hamilton doesnt.
If Hamilton’s rehabilitation is true and lasts, then he deserves some respect. It is not easy overcoming addiction. Stupid to become addicted, but powerful to overcome it.
The Red Sox have missed the playoffs more than a few times in the aughts. They won’t be put out because they only won 91 games this year.
Based on this particular photo, I don’t think the statue looks much like Jeter at all.
When I first opened the page, I thought it was Graig Nettles.
Tarheel, that’s a pretty good call. LOL.
JAP, I keep going back and looking at it. I see Nettles everytime – LOL
With all due respect tomingeorgia, I don’t think addicted and stupidity necessarily go hand in hand. I’m sober for 20+ years now and I never thought the cause of my addiction was from being stupid.

That’s a very good and sensible post
You can see where the artist had something of Jeter but then veered off in the wrong direction. Something in the eyes, corners of the mouth, but he took a left turn and never came back.
Upon further review, he almost had the right eye right, but the left is way off…:D
i give Hamiliton props cause yeah he was on drugs and all but he works to overcome. Thats a good example to others….admit mistake and work to change.
Betsy please help me out. What does this mean?
“and worse because while our clubhouse wasn’t exactly a happy haven, at least you didn’t have what seems like good old country boys living the high life while their season collapsed under them.”
Some people are predisposed to becoming addicts. Not their fault at all.
JCPD,
I haven’t had as many clean years as you have, and I was smart as a whip while I was systematically destroying myself. I knew what I was doing, and that was stupid.

6-20 in September (or whatever it was)? Had nothing to do with forgetting how to play baseball, everything to do with a team in total turmoil.
They don’t turn into happy happy just because you think they will. That’s not reality.

OH ALEXI.
That’s what happens when you have a disease, GreenBeret.

Is that why you called Cabrera a DUI Drunk? Because alcohol is a disease just like drugs.
Frank Washington is a coke head. Why are we rooting for him?
Go Tigers!
I for one am hoping for a Tigers Brewers WS with the Brewers winning it all.
I’d like to see the Tigers vs Brewers in the WS this year.
Then again, If the Cards played Rangers that would be pretty good too. I don’t think any WS match up will be as fun as this Cards/Brewers series tho.
Gotta say something about pitchers in general. I’m always impressed when someone gives up a jack and then comes back to finish off the inning. I would think it would be so easy to come unglued but they someone manage to focus – many of them.
Carl Jung has a unique take on alcohol addiction.

Beacuse I am sick of the Tiger lovefest from TBS/FOX it is sickening so i want them to lose. Not that I care for the Rangers particularly, but i don’t want to have to hear the name Justin Verlander all throughout the World Series and god forbid if that happen to win it all
I don’t care myself if the Brewers are the last team standing.
Trisha, it refocuses you.
i just hope the Brewers win the WS in general…I think the NL will win it no matter which teams go
They don’t turn into happy happy just because you think they will. That’s not reality.

Teams don’t just disappear because you think they will. That’s not reality.
I called the DUI Fat Drunk a DUI Fat Drunk because I think the guy is steroid enhanced scum, and also a DUI involves putting others safety at risk. There is a slight difference.
JF,
Look what happened to the Mets after their collapse.
LOL, JAP! He has Nettle’s mouth and jaw. And nose.
It’s like he started at the top of the face and was doing Jeter. And then he got distracted, came back, and said “Wait. What was I doing? Ah yes…Graig Nettles…”
Being a drug addict puts others safety at risk, and Hamilton has already killed someone.
“Teams don’t just disappear because you think they will. That’s not reality.”
People much wiser than I are thinking they will. When I add common sense to the mix, I’m convinced that side has it right.
No biggie. I don’t have any problem with you thinking the opposite. It doesn’t cause me to be any less convicted in my belief.
Just like I said they’d finish third and best and I was told that wasn’t reality.
Wasn’t the Brewers the team that was owned by Selig??
And the only reason why it’s a Tigers lovefest is because the Tigers “beat” us. “beat” is in quotations because the umpires defeated us.
This is an ALCS of the last 2 teams to “beat” the Yankees in the playoffs. You’d think it would be a little more even of a broadcast.
Diseases don’t pawn jewelry. People do.
When you can’t win fair and square, try having all of your fans wave white towels in an effort to distract the other team.
How juvenile.
Look what happened to the Mets after their collapse.
–
Compare the quality of the players on either team. The Mets posted a better record the following year and then succumbed to having a not good roster. They aren’t comparable, and its really silly if you think blowing their lead in 07 doomed them to some kind of baseball loser state.
Having bad players and making bad decisions did that.
luis – yes. But I don’t hold it against the Brewers.
Honestly, I dont really care about this conversation. Hamilton is a criminal too, because he bothered to effort against CC. But Cabrera f..ked us in 2003, so he’s a bigger criminal.
Also, putting others’ safety as risk by being a drug addict is different than directly putting other lives in danger by driving under the influence.
NYYanks,
Exactly.
Tarheel, the nose looks like a veritable cast of Nettles’.
On another note, I love when people have no clue about a subject, one that they obviously do not grok and have strong opinions about, shut the door of their mind. That’s called ignorance, and it shines very brightly on you sir, but what’s even more ignorant, is the fact that you are so ignorant you don’t even know you’re ignorant. Congratz! You are a born hero, a hero of the stupid world.
I don’t know much about addiction besides the lectures in school.. but I do know that it’s a diseases defined by the AMA – American Medical Association and to see someone that far gone — Hamilton — climb back from that hell and accomplish his dreams, is nothing short of amazing. The time he spends off the field working with kids and sharing his life story as an open book with kids is admirable and altruistic.
When someone says, “He created the disease” they obviously don’t have a clue.. I just don’t imagine people saying to themselves, “hey, when I grew up I want to be a drug addict” and neither does the AMA apparently.
What a close minded wart on society you are Mr I am Army Man, Look At Me.
Oh, and Cabrera is a steroid user.

Prove Cabrera took steroids.
Only proof you have that someone took steroids is Alex, who had to admit it.
Yes, Im talking about myself. Thats how I rationalized it. Just how I rationalize that wanting people dead is ok, like this fat f.ck Cabrera, for beating Clemens in 2003 and then us this year too.
And luis, we have the rainout and totally f’d up umpiring on our side – so to speak! Certainly they weren’t on our side. But there’s a good chance that if both had disappeared Yanks would be in the ALCS. Sux can’t say much about a 1-100 September, being finally ushered out by the Showalters of Baltimore!!!
What a sweet collapse.
I have this bookmarked as a favorite and watch it often.

The trouble is Hamilton is given a small allowance by his handlers in order to help keep him under control. There was a fall out with him a couple years ago. What will happen to him long term, after his playing days are over?
I do admire that he got his act together, but he put himself in that horrible position to begin with. He has to have minders around him all the time to keep him from slipping again. People like that need help from others, but most don’t have the resources Hamilton has to keep them clean.
The ESPN crew are all going nuts over the Rangers being a force to deal with for the foreseeable future, especially if they get to the WS again. The Tiggers or the Rangers will get heaps of over the top praise no matter which team gets in. I don’t root for either team, but I’d rather see the Rangers out simply because of not wanting to see them repeat an appearance in the WS. ESPN were talking about how, if the Rangers were to advance to the WS then they would be the model franchise that others will emulate. Pushing pitchers to go deeper in games, instead of the pitch count being of concern.
Last I checked, Hamilton didnt get charged with or convicted of a DUI. But who cares? They both beat us, so they’re both criminals.
Pretty sure I just saw Leyland rubbing his gums with his pinky.
Thinking Frank sent a little gift over from his stash.

You make a good point, but isn’t that exactly what is happening to the Sux?….Filled with bad contracts….no depth……Empty farm system….To me they are in a pickle that is going to take two to three years to clean up.
Isnt his name Ron Washington, or am I dreaming again?
“To me they are in a pickle that is going to take two to three years to clean up.”
At least.
I guess another way they could go is to have the self-annoited enforcer Pukeylisp biotch slap any player who’s bugging him, the way he did Manny in the dugout!
Just amazing.

They do the same thing at the Phillies games, the Rangers games and a lot of other clubs. I don’t get it, as it seems like they are waving the white flag of surrender, but I don’t think it is to distract the players. They do it when both teams are hitting.
Hamilton did get arrested for going on a drunken rampage back in ’05.

He hit 0.177 in the regular season .
Yogi,
In Hamilton’s situation, or anybody’s similar situation, if you don’t have a little help from your friends, even if you have to pay them, it’s going to be a lot harder to beat it. I simply hope he makes it through.
Re: Hamilton getting arrested. Oh well, I dont care anyway, he could have murdered someone and I wouldnt care. I despise DUI Fat Drunk, and this criminal Delmon Young.
judge not lest ye be judged
– Jesus Montero
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!! F.CK that FAT PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, that was a stupid move by Cabrera. He was out by a mile. He runs Posada-like.

Their current roster that won 91 games is already better than most teams in the AL and they will have money to spend. I hope they spend it poorly and continue to lose, but there isn’t really evidence of a collapse causing teams to be bad indefinitely. The Yankees had one of the biggest postseason collapses ever and they have turned out just fine. Its about the players.
The red sox still have a-gon, pedroia, ellsbury, youkilis, and crawford and beckett/lester/buchholz. I don’t think they will have a powerhouse or anything, but in the playoff hunt each year? Sure. Just like the Rays but in a different fashion. They just aren’t like the Mets, who not only had a crappy roster of injury prone players but then they moved into a stadium that played against their best players… double whammy.
WOW epic throw by Cruz….or Cabrera is super slow…that looked like a scoreable sac fly but he was out by a mile!
Cabrera is built for power not for speed.
Surprising no pinch runner there…

I don’t know who Eppler is, but i certainly don’t want Oppenheimer to go…I rather have him taking care of the draft for the Yankees
——————————–
Eppler is one of the reasons Joba is a reliever.
Wow Miggy is slow.
I will say this. Delmon Young is a power house. He’s a very very talented player with a lot of power. If he can find a way to be the opposite of his brother, he’s going to have one hell of a career.
Funny that he ended up in Detroit, huh?
Anyone remember when Paul Quantrill talked about Dmitri Young’s “do rag”? Quantrill wasn’t afraid of anyone!
And the Tigres win again .
Their Endless Magical Season continues .
The best situation for the Sox would have been to keep Theo, as he would have continued bumbling around. Instead they are replacing him and likely getting compensated for it to boot.
Eppler is one of the reasons Joba is a reliever.

Alex
Tex
Swisher
A clutch hit from any of them and the Yanks would be in the ALCS.
I was afraid of Quantrill, though.
Face…..Will they resign Paps ??? Do they move Ellsbury who is most likely will want to get far from Kenmore Square ? They have holes to fill beyond the roster, like a GM and Mgr.
RMS, Tex did BB in a run.

Then Eppler can go!!

Probably not? They probably should? Manager isn’t a huge hole, theres guys floating around to fill and their GM is just going to be one of the bunch Epstein leaves behind.
“The Yankees had one of the biggest postseason collapses ever and they have turned out just fine. Its about the players.”
Actually it’s about a lot more than the players and if you choose to ignore everything else swirling inthe background in beantown, then you can step over to the Suxers Annual Ludatory Committee, where the few posters who belong are so mesmerized by the Sux players that they don’t even bother going a whit beyond the players’ names and still annoint them something special.
If you want to put some money on it jerkface, I’ll let you know how out in left field I really think you are with this stuff.
Just say the word.
You can call the in the playoff hunt — you know the team with all the names you named who went 8-20 in September, and I’ll call them out of it, the team with all the names you named who ended up third this season, as I predicted they would – and I didn’t even know about their internal problems.
There are no sympathetic figures in this ALCS for me. I hate Nolan Ryan, hate Kinsler, hate Leyland, hate Valverde….
Who’s Frank Washington?
luis, isn’t that a video for the ages??? I can’t get enough of it. The kid who put that together is brilliant. And he had it up almost as quickly as the collapse happened.
Absolutely send it!
Oh man, could that have been much closer!
Trisha,
Your predictions hold no weight, because you also predict the Yankees to win every year. And the sox to lose. If the Sox make the playoffs in the next 2 seasons I will be here to chide you for your hubris, but I wouldn’t bet money on it. I never bet against the Yankees.
Baseball, a game of inches.
************
Ah jerkface, but my predictions hold great weight, because I haven’t called the Sux wrong yet.
But thanks for playing the game!
->
You cant blame Alex for anything.
One person’s definition of hubris (yours) is another person’s claim for perspicacity (mine).
But thanks for playing!
Your prediction that they would lose in 07 didn’t pan out.
Yogi, I have to keep an eye out for that. It seemed that the Tiger fans were going towel crazy when the Rangers were at bat, but it might have been a two-out kind of thing.
I wasn’t here in 07 so you don’t know what I predicted.
But thanks for playing!
And it’s not 07, it’s 07*
That changes the entire terrain.

Hm, so you weren’t against the Red Sox in 07? Not even on the Daily News? Highly unlikely. Wouldn’t be like you to only go against the sox when they were down. And if cheating changes the terrain what guarantee is there that the sox wouldn’t do anything to cheat going forward?

That is the one blemish I hold against him. Some fans have questioned his role as the pro scouting director.
I’m not in charge of inept umpires or cheating teams.
I call things based on the knowns
Based on the known, the Sux will be sucking wind for at least the entirety of next season.
no walk offs tonight hopefully
what the hell is Wilson talking about on taco bell commercial.. “I’m black ops ! ” OMG is that an annoying guy already !
The Red Sox will always cheat. Whether it be with cameras to detect catcher signs. Theyll always find a way to cheat, because they want to win, at any cost.
