And the problem is that you feel like a total idiot when the no-no is broken up in the fifth. How did I think that he even had a shot with four innings to go?!<br /><br />I have to say though that watching Roy Halladay's no-no in the playoffs last year made me at least feel like I've been a part of one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-68871459056073690292011-05-04T19:59:43.184-04:002011-05-04T19:59:43.184-04:00I'm happy you're back to sports.

To each their own.<br /><br />As a big New York sports fan (and pittsburgh for family reasons) I've been having a lot of trouble choosing which team to cheer for in the Heat-Celtics. Even though I feel sick every time I think it, I think I'm rooting for the celtics in this one. I hate them SO much. But I hate what LeBron did with his free agency. Bosh is a loser at heart. He was in Toronto. And Wade... He's not terrible.<br /><br />On the other hand, I HATE KG, someone needs to stab Pierce again, and Rondo, although a dick, is fun to watch. And Allen? Class act.<br /><br />I'm rooting for a Hawks-Memphis final. Lets see how Stern deals with that.Jacob "The Destoryer"noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-30750368588335619842011-05-04T14:55:42.821-04:002011-05-04T14:55:42.821-04:00How dare you correct me?!?!

First mention of it was here: http://sethcurrysavesduke.blogspot.com/2010/07/finishing-strong.html<br />when you said <i>"While we're here, I should note that Jeter's lifetime hit percentage is 27.8, and if he can stay healthy and play into his 40s, he actually has a fighting chance to overtake Rose"</i><br /><br />We went back and forth in the comments with me saying that Jeter had absolutely no chance and you eventually mostly agreeing with me.<br /><br />You broke it down the following day here: http://sethcurrysavesduke.blogspot.com/2010/07/jeter-vs-rose-hit-kings.html<br /><br />The first line of that post: <i>Yesterday, I briefly mentioned that Jeter had a shot at Pete Rose's all-time hit record.</i><br /><br />Q.E.D.

I believe I said in the post that he would probably never break the record since he wouldn't be able to manage himself and play until he was 45 like Rose.<br /><br />San Fran, I agree but think we're underestimating Jeter's ego. I don't think he was ever going to go for anything but top dollar.<br /><br />-ShaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-18317562266555095162011-05-04T13:56:19.737-04:002011-05-04T13:56:19.737-04:00My take?

Like the Celtics, Jeter is old, and there is no cure for that (ironic that he and the Celtics share something). I've argued it before - he was very poorly advised in fighting for his last contract. It needed to be a much smaller fixed amount with very large performance bonuses. That way, if/when it didn't pan out, he could have declined w/o throwing Yankee fans into a quandary (the loving "long goodbye" scenario). The guy, and his eventual grandchildren, were already set for life before this last contract. This needed to be about legacy, not money.sanfransoxfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058097803996671735noreply@blogger.com
