2008-02-21 13:07:00
Derek Jeter arrived at his 16th New York Yankees spring training Wednesday labeled the worst shortstop in the majors by some statistical braniacs over at Penn the New York Post reported. "Maybe it was a computer glitch," the three-time Gold Glove winner said of the report. But Jeter just didn't laugh this one off. He defended himself, saying, "Every [shortstop] doesn't stay in the same spot, everyone doesn't have the same pitching. Everyone doesn't have the same hitters running, it's impossible to do that." Jeter, 33, pointed out you can get the exact same ground ball off the exact same pitcher and there could be an average runner or there could be Ichiro running. "How can you compute that?" he asked.

And then eat it. Yum." (Then she smacked her lips a little.)Throat-Clearing Girl: "Ew. That's gross. You should just make him eat it."Friend: "He can't eat anything if his throat is slit. Duh."Me: (Not out loud) "I think he would have immediately DIED after you ripped out his HEART. I'm pretty sure the slit throat is immaterial at this point."Sometimes I wonder how some of us made it through high school.
