The real question here is whether Derek Jeter can win his fifth ring and climb over Babe Ruth on the list of greatest Yankees ever. Ruth won four rings of his own as a Yankee (and another 3 with the Red Sox, but that, of course, doesn't count). A fifth ring would most certainly vault him past Ruth on the all-time Yankees list. Of course, that ugly little catcher had ten rings, but forget about him and his three AL MVP awards. He never had to deal with a choker like A-Fraud. With a win, Jeter will be the greatest Yankee EVAH!
Bonus points for LTEs that mention how great Jeter is.
TRADE NATHAN
That didn't take long.
Isn't the NBA on tonight?
To commemorate Dreamboat's awesomeness, we'll celebrate some of his greatest hits.
First up, Mariah Carey.
Say what you will about Capt. Jeets, he has dated some very, very beautiful ladies.
Dated but not married. I'm just sayin'.
If you were someone who got to skip from Mariah Carey to Jessica Beil to Minka Kelly, to name a few, would you tie yourself down?
The Cap'n doesn't care about stats!
Actually, these are some of the few numbers of his I'm intrigued by. ;)
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
She may be good looking, but there's a whole lot of crazy there.
You got that right. A friend of mine has a saying, "Her beauty is exceeded only by her insanity."
Who's this guy on the Yankees who struck out. I think he's number 2? That was a gritty three pitch strikeout.
And like most of Jete's relationships, he strikes out (on three pitches.)
I'm a little uncomfortable rooting for Cliff Lee. Eh, it's for the greater good.
So, I don't recommend drinking and laying floor (that's not an euphemism. Mr.6).
Usually I drink, then lay on the floor. Doing them concurrently is a totally foreign concept to me.
If you don't drink too much, you can still lay some pipe.
OOOOOH. Laying floor, not laying on the floor. Gotcha.
And, nicely done Bootsy.
ps, I'm married, last time I checked the only pipe I lay is for the excrement. /standard joak.
I thought that was cable...
You kids and your funny sayings.
Speaking of floor, Dorothy Parker:
I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under the host
ftw
Nicely done. It's like the
AlgonquinAlgonad Round Table tonight.It's a small apartment, I've barely enough room to lay my hat and a few friends.

Batting in the 2-hole, Miss Universe 2000: Lara Dutta
Hooray for Bollywood!
Really?!?!
I don't care much for ballywood, but Dr. Chop and I have had a few laughs at the pride and prejudice remake.
I have no idea, really. I just googled "Jeter Girlfriends" and was overwhelmed by the stuff. I'm just pickin' and choosin' a few. Never seen Ms Dutta in anything but this photo, but she is rather fetching, no?
Fetching indeed.
Thank (insert deity of your choice)!
w00t! Phills on top!
Phuck you, CC!
Who knew Utley was such a greaser!
Batting 3rd for the Dreamteam, Mrs. Marko Jaric.
There's already been a commercial promoting the Jay-Z & Alicia Keys performance of "Empire State of Mind", and there it is as Jeter's walk-up music. This series is going to completely destroy that song for me, isn't it?
Also, odds that Jeter and Alicia Keys have hooked up? 70%, at least, I'd say.
Everyone must be over in the T-Woof gamelog.
Last time I was in Norristown, PA, we went to a P's game.
Leaving work, I was in a dark jacket and dark slacks - it was 90F - I was dying.
I switched to man shorts (mucho pocketo). Later, I met the team at Phillie's stadium - game was a blast. Around the 7th inning, the temp went into the nether regions. I (from MN) was worried about freezing. Went up to the vendors and bought a bright red P hoodie. Mucho bueno - no freezolo.
Last weekend, I was wearing the same P hoodie at the club this last weekend. These yanquis cats walk by and bray - "So they're coming out of the closet!!"
Heh. Like they should talk. Continuing a Mean Streets theme that was bandied about yesterday(?), most Yank fans are mooks.
I prefer boobs, but I suppose that's splitting hairs
That's just wrong on so many levels. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
Sit down, Tiex.
7k through 5, Lee is having a night.
Dude's locked in. Here's hoping for a 15 K shutout.
Until tonight, A-Rod was #2 on the list of active players who've played the most games w/o a WS apperance.
Trivia:
Who's #1 on the active players list (and #2 overall) ?
Who's #1 all-time?
Junior Griffey #2?
Ding-ding-ding! Griffey is #2 all-time with 2,638 games over 21 seasons.
Ken Griffey, Jr.
All time: Ernie Banks.
That looks like a good answer.
Let's play two.
Banks is #4 all time with 2,528 games over 19 years.
Rod Carew played a ton of games, but I think he's just short.
#7 - 2,469 games
I intended for my Raffy! to go here.
There's our all-time leader. Jimmy, tell them what they've won.
A new car!!!
Or the Children's Music Section...
Good call on the double play.
finally a good call
on a close playby the umps in the post season.On first look, I thought for sure Rollins caught that on a very short hop and that Cano was safe at first. Right call in the end though.
Raffy!
Funny - on the Mac, in the lower right corner of MLB.com in the P vs. Y game, there is a stream of javascript instructions.
Let's keep it classy, MLB!!

Utley go boom, boom!
That's a twofer!
U**2
w00t!! Utley with a good night!
Phillies fail to run up onto the field on Utley's HR. Losers.
Ouch. Give a break, they might be Brethren, or Qua/Shakers. Brethren wouldn't run onto the field.
Utley reminds me a bit of Punto.
Both major leaguers? Both millionaires? Help me out here.
Mammals. :)
He's still a greaser.
I kinda like that look. I sported it myself as a yoot.
What is a "yoot"?
Hee hee. A young mook.
I assume you mean boob.
Oops. That reminds me, Jessica Biel!
P squawkers marveling on Lee catch. Moon landing. Gandhi hunger strike. Beth Tweddle floor.
I had to google Beth Tweddle floor. Wonderfully obscure reference, pally.
evening all. this is a series i can get behind so far.
Hello, good sir.
This just in: The left fielder is not responsible for a ball hit down the right field line. /stoooooopid.
cap'n nonchalant out there...
Andrew, I see that Invictus is making quite a splash during the World Series, here's to promoting rugby in 'merica.
Hear, hear. Hopefully the rugby scenes are fairly realistic, lest people get the wrong impression.
Speaking of rugby, I'm hoping to make my way to Vegas for the US Sevens in February.
I'd never mock this woman's service to our country... (I wonder, can I make fun of her voice, though?)
that was kind of my thought. exactly, actually.
Don't quit your day job. Please?
On the GrillIn th' Wok.Swai fillets with coconut milk, Thai Red Curry Paste, basil (from NBB garden), fish sauce, brown sugar, and Rice Stick. 3.99/lb for the Swai.
Mom's meatloaf, cheesy potatoes, and strawberries with grape juice to drink. That's Welch's grape juice, not any sort of wine.
That's Welch's grape juice, not any sort of wine.
Aside from that faux pas, your mom's menu sounds tasty. ;)
your mom's menu sounds tasty. ;)
does that sound dirty to anyone else, or am i just depraved?
Careful now, that's my momma you're talking about.
i didn't say it! (heh, no disrespect, of course)
Of course ;)
Pix of the Cap's ex's got you riled up, son. I meant no disrespect to Andrew's moms.
2 mo on tha booord!
Hell 2 tha Yeah!
cliff "yup, still nonchalant" lee, ladies and gentlemen...
The behind-the-back move by Cliffy was sweeeeeet.
A little bit of a Willie Mays Hayes "oops-bunt" there from Rollins.
I know it's been discussed that the Yanks losing in game 7 at their 100 billion dollar ballpark would be the best case scenario, I'm leaning towards a sweep culminating in Philly. After all, these are the same fans that booed Santa Claus. imagine what they'll do to Jeter...
I really dislike Cliff Lee, but dear god this is delicious.
Cliff Lee making art tonight. Beautiful, minimalist art.
A silly
mustacherun doesn't change it. It's still a masterpiece. That's Dada, not data...Ceci n'est pa un Yankees win.
Here's hoping Yankee fans are filling that with despair. Or, sh!tty dope. :)
Please don't let the Yankees come back. We'll never hear the end of it.
Awww-rod.
heeeeelllllsssss yeah. i just can't cheer c-lee, but i can cheer a yankmes loss.
There's one in the books. Three more to do.
its not often that you see a complete game in the World Series
way to go Phils!
Hell YES!
