he never "sucked", per se

he had a few down years and his ERA was a bit high, but he’s had a ton of wins and a ton of innings.

he’s actually been pretty solid, with this year being his “spectacular” year

The scouts

seem to prefer Wood over S-Rod because of the former’s track record and crazy homers in 2005, but I’m not so sure. S-Rod is supposed to be the better defender.

When I worked in Irvine, Scotland, I pretty much lived in the Manor Park hotel in Monkton.

I was at the bar every night. Had every drink they served. Even ate Haggis. Heard all their ghost stories.

I don’t want to go back there.

I think that DP is all on Soth

That was not a point in the game to bunt. It’s still too early to be playing for one run as Weaver could give up 3 in the bottom half. Figgy is not a good bunter as mentioned and with a runner on first there is a big whole on the right side that he could have aimed for and if he hits it to the right side it’s VERY hard to turn a double play. And even if they force Mathis then Figgy is on first with the opportunity to steal against Shoppach who throws out like 14% of baserunners this year.

…or he becomes his brother Jeff.

He's always done it a lot

his slow, bad start to this season combined with the fact that he’s always done it has just made it that much worse this year.

I think a lot of it has to do with how sharply he hits the ball. He never hits little dribblers or soft grounders, so it’s always easy to get him doubled up.

Jeter is actually, kind of surprisingly, a big-strike out guy

and he led off or hit second for a large part of his career.

He’s going to have struck out 9 of his 13 full seasons by the end of this year…with 3 other seasons of exactly 99 Ks. And 25% of his career plate appearances are batting 1st. Just an assload of ground balls…must have killed the Yanks a lot when he was batting second in a game and erased the lead runner.
