Why Yankees fans are complete idiots

by WeaverMania on Aug 12, 2007 1:09 PM PDT

I frequently visit another forum. It's mainly a football site but there are other sections for baseball, basketball, and other sports (NASCAR, Soccer, etc.). The Yankees fans at this site are generally okay to deal with, except for one. This guy actually believes that Derek Jeter is better than Orlando Cabrera or any other shortstop in the American League because he [Jeter] gets it done in the "pressure cooker" that is the Bronx. Without mentioning how full of shit he truly is, I took it upon myself to own him in an argument while using Orlando Cabrera and a few other shortstops from the American League.

WARNING: Major idiocy about to be ingested. Please prepare the Tums.

You never called him

on referring to Orlando Cabrera as a former Dodger.

This guy has never watched a baseball game in his life, clearly.

He said "if things don't change by the end of the year, I vote for Jeter for GG"...right after acknowledging that Jeter has TWICE as many errors as O.C.

What a fucktard.

I actually let that one go

about Cabrera being a former member of the Dodgers. I figured other people would notice the idiocy. If not, I'll point it out later.

He's one of those guys who just won't admit that the guy he is picking is just not the best guy to pick.

Hell, no one has taken me off of my Hanley Ramirez for MVP campaign.

Stankees

Cap'n Jetes got the NY media to love him even though he never gives a good quote, so that is something.

He just has this little problem where he can't get ground balls to his left. I guess that is not that important for a SS.

He should have been their CF years ago.

Amazing

You could live on that site and discuss football all day. It's that kind of place.

There's no foul language allowed which is actually good since the debates don't get off track and become personal.

In defense of Jeter

Not really like he needs a hell of a lot of defending, because he's one of the best all-around shortstops of our generation.

But if you had looked closer, the Baseball America poll top 3 defensive shortstops were chosen by the MANAGERS. It had nothing to do with East Coast bias, so please hang up your anti-Yankee anti-Jeter vitriol. It was chosen by 14 guys who are trusted by the top franchises in baseball to manage baseball games, one of whom (presumably polled) was our own Scioscia.

These manager guys, believe it or not, know a hell of a lot more about baseball than most stat-heads (Range-Factor blah blah blah) and if they figure Derek Jeter is the best defensive shortstop in baseball that's fine by me.

I'm an Angel die-hard by the way. I went to my first Angels game in 1968, not 2002.

Mangers don't necessarily know better

first of all, they're as prone to biased coverage as most anyone. Coaches make shitty selections to all-star games every year.

second of all, they see through their eyes, just like them. their eyes will deceive them just as much as our's will.

fact is that when they see jeter backhand some ball in the hole and throw off balance to first, they're seeing that just the same way as we are. what they're NOT seeing is that a more skilled, more instinctual shortstop would have been fielding that ball somewhere in the middle of the infield dirt and making a casual throw over to first because he played it well off the bat.

Pretty much

And last time I checked, managers voted on the Gold Gloves. Not exactly the best people to have do it.

Yankee fans cannot help themselves

They are New York sports fans. Stupidity is endemic. Take, as but one example, this.

Most obvious is, of course, the "unclear on the concept thing". I mean, like, really. Could they miss the point by any wider margin if they tried?

But notice their interpretation of history. 1996? Invented by the Mets? What, they don't even get Google or Wikipedia in New England? Nah. They cannot be bothered with reality when an opportunity presents itself to revise history in their favor. Life as a New Yorker must have been a real bitch when the old Soviet Union was still intact.

And then there is the whole notion that somebody would engage a web developer to build a commerce-enabled site, and pay for domain registration, and engage some manufacturer somewhere in China, or hire some boat to freight over the merchandise, all to make their fortune on something so un-fucking-believably ugly.

Yeah. The center of the universe. Someday soon I'm gonna read somewhere how New York invented the shortstop.
