Noah said:The Olbermann thing is so dumb. Being 13th or 14th in production out of 20 players with >12000 PA is hardly a point of criticism. That fact alone puts him as an all-time great.

That was awesome. Especially since Olberman is a Yankee fan isn;t he?
For the last several years, political commentator Keith Olbermann has served as an in-stadium play-by-play man for the Yankees’ Old-Timers’ Day. But the Yankees are making a change, The Post has learned.
The Yankees were not happy with Olbermann posting a photo on Twitter earlier this season of a coach signaling pitches to their batters in the on-deck circle. So they decided to bounce the liberal loudmouth and will have Bob Wolff and Suzyn Waldman provide the commentary for today’s game instead.

scotian1 said:Look it was down right embarrassing for that NY sportswriter a few weeks ago writing that Jeter is the third greatest Yankee ever. It just seems that too many of today's fans have no appreciation for the history of the game. Personally I know several Yankee fans of my age (60's) that see Jeter as a HOFamer but not in the ability class of a DiMaggio, Mantle or even in the top 10 Yankees. Glad for Mr. Olberman exposing some of Jeter's warts.
On Tuesday, Derek Jeter left open the possibility he won’t play at Fenway Park this weekend.
On Wednesday, Joe Girardi did the same — which increases the chances Thursday night’s game against the Orioles will be the last of Jeter’s Hall of Fame-bound career.
“No, not yet,’’ Girardi said when asked if he talked to Jeter about sitting out the three-game series against the blood rivals. “And that’s a better question when we get there.’’
Jeter said the same thing Tuesday when he explained he was taking it one game at a time.
jon abbey said:So evidently if that game is rained out (which there is a reasonable chance of), it won't be rescheduled unless BAL needs to play it to decide home field advantage. Now there's something to root for.
That's how I am seeing this, too. Yanks will be eliminated today. Finish career at home. I thought he would play out the schedule regardless but maybe not.glennhoffmania said:

DukeSox said:So wait, today could have been his last game, right? If tomorrow is rained out and they don't need to replay it, and he sits out Boston....this was it, right?
0-4? Bottom of the 8th groundout to 1st base was his last appearance.
Is the SI Jinx still in play with Jeter?jon abbey said:On this week's SI cover again, "The Exit Interview" as if he were a President:

rembrat said:Has Jeter ever said anything of interest in an interview? Literally the blandest star athlete of all time.
And despite the fact Thursday will be the first time in Jeter’s career he will play a game at Yankee Stadium without the Yankees being alive for the postseason, Brian McCann said it will be a “celebration.”
He was hurt last year, and they finished on the road in 2008 (in Fenway, I believe)inJacobyWeTrust said:From the NY Post article about the potential for a rainout is this tidbit:
Is that true? They finished 3rd last year and 3rd in 2008, were they really never out of contention at home late in the season?
