got lazy and then after hearing Mike complain on Mike’d Up and getting notified that I had more John McCain related posts than Yankees, I decided to got procrastinating. I have usually made a couple of trips to the stadium each year since 2004 with the exception of last year. Hopefully I’ll pick up at least a game this year, probably a Blue Jays or Rays game in the summer but it seems more and more likely that it might be more of an economically suitable option to go watch a Major League game at Citi Field instead.</p> <p>Yankees opened up single game tickets yesterday to the public at around 10 in the morning and due to class I didn’t get around to it until the middle of the afternoon. I wasn’t going in expecting there would be many tickets (reasonably priced anyways) available and that’s exactly the case that I found. I can’t find anything available under $100 each for a pair of tickets yet tickets right behind home plate are still available at the very cheap price of $2,625 each. I have been trying to purchase those $5 ticket for specially marked games but I guess it is safe to say those are probably sold out since it keeps coming up as unavailable or marked as regular price.</p> <p>As for pre-season predictions and over/under numbers, expect a post on it before the end of the month or first few days of April at the latest.</p> <p>P.S. 10 days until Major League Baseball 2009 Opening Night.</p> <div class="linkwithin_hook" id="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/959"></div><script type="text/javascript">AKPC_IDS += "959,";</script><p class="akpc_pop">Popularity: 2%</p><div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/959&title=Is It Baseball Season Yet?&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com');" href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/959&title=Is It Baseball Season Yet?&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.com');

The title of the book is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.angrybrownguy.com/?cat=635');" href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/?cat=635" >Diamond Destruction: How Greed, The Media and Steroids Ruined Our Game</a></span>. Let me know what you guys think.</p> <p>This specific chapter is called “Derek Jeter: Mr. Overrated?” which I am sure is going to be a big hit amongst my Yankee friends. Maybe this is my own way of removing the closet Yankee fan label or the fact that I never fell for the Jeter hype in the first place. Not really sure what it was but I never thought he is this superstar that everyone makes him out to be. Just think about Jeter who does not put up any big numbers and plays shortstop – if he put up these numbers for a team like <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.carinsurancerates.com/states/252-kansas-car-insurance.html');" href="http://www.carinsurancerates.com/states/252-kansas-car-insurance.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.carinsurancerates.com');">Kansas</a> City Royals or another lower tier team by today’s standings, no one would even know who Derek Jeter is. He was quite fortunate to fall into a perfect place with the Yankees who had stars and he was just a very small piece who didn’t even play that big of a role in their ultimate success.</p> <p>Anyways, enjoy the chapter. I might release more as I go along but feel free to criticize, point out errors or add any other input you may have on this. If you want to read everything I have, feel free to contact me. So far I would say I have about 50 pages worth written and I’m still looking for more people to read it, rip it to shreds so I can improve on it.</p> <blockquote><p><em>I will not waste much time in making my point very clear regarding this chapter. I have long stated and still stand by the statement that Derek Sanderson Jeter, also known as Mr. November to many fans around the country, is one of the most overrated and overhyped baseball players to play the game in my lifetime. Certainly it does not help that he was drafted for the Evil Empire but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like every single player who has put on a pinstripe. There are plenty of Yankees who I have great admiration for and hoped that they had played for my favorite team.</em> <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359#more-359');" href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359#more-359" class="more-link">Read more…</a></p></blockquote> <div class="linkwithin_hook" id="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359"></div><script type="text/javascript">AKPC_IDS += "359,";</script><p class="akpc_pop">Popularity: 10%</p><div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359&title=Derek Jeter: Mr. Overrated?&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com');" href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359&title=Derek Jeter: Mr. Overrated?&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.com'); return call_google_buzz("http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359&title=Derek Jeter: Mr. Overrated?&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com')" rel=""><img border="0" src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-buzz/icon/5.png" style="opacity:1;filter:alpha(opacity=100)" onmouseover="this.style.opacity=0.8;this.filters.alpha.opacity=80" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100"/> </a></div><div class="addtoany_share_save_container"><ul class="addtoany_list"><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F359&linkname=Derek%20Jeter%3A%20Mr.%20Overrated%3F" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/reddit.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Reddit"/></a></li><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F359&linkname=Derek%20Jeter%3A%20Mr.%20Overrated%3F" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/twitter.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Twitter"/></a></li><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F359&linkname=Derek%20Jeter%3A%20Mr.%20Overrated%3F" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/facebook.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Facebook"/></a></li><li><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F359&linkname=Derek%20Jeter%3A%20Mr.%20Overrated%3F" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a></li></ul></div><span style="clear:both;display:none;"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/img/wpsf-img.php" width="0" height="0" alt="" style="border-style:none;width:0px;height:0px;display:none;" /></span> </div> <div class="post-info"> <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359#comments" title="Comment on Derek Jeter: Mr. Overrated?"><span class='IDCommentsReplace' style='display:none'>359</span>Comment (1)<span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoPermalink359'>http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoTitle359'>Derek+Jeter%3A+Mr.+Overrated%3F</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoTime359'>2008-07-02+12%3A49%3A25</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoAuthor359'>ABG</span></a> // <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/359#respond">Add Comment</a> </div> </div>   <div class="post" id="post-357"> <div class="post-title"> <div class="post-date"> <span>01</span> Jul </div> <h2><a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to New Beast In The AL East">New Beast In The AL East</a></h2> Author: ABG // Category: <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/category/sports" title="View all posts in Sports" rel="category tag">Sports</a> </div> <div class="post-entry"> <p>I’m not sure whether to include them in book yet or not, but the story of the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 Major League Baseball seems like a story written in Hollywood. Here is a team who is at 50-32 at about the halfway point of the season – Tampa lost their 32nd game on June 5th last year and won their 50th game on August 25th. At that point they were already 28.5 games behind the division leader in the AL East.</p> <p>This year is a whole different story. The AL East division leader is a team who had finished anywhere but the basement of the division only once in the franchise history (4th in 2004) and stand with the best record in all of baseball. I know my brother and I would talk about it every spring training that this year might be the year that Tampa really surprises some people but every year they would get bogged down by injuries or lack of depth in their pitching staff. They usually had a decent offense to hold their own in a competitive AL East against the offensive powerhouses of the Yankees, Red Sox and when they felt like it the Blue Jays. Again, this year is a whole different story.</p> <p>Where did this team come from? A record of 31-13 (.705) at home and .500 on the road, having their worst losing streak of the season (4 games) in the first two weeks of the season from April 6-9 either shows this team has yet to hit a mid season slump or is capable of bouncing back after losses to avoid long losing streaks. They have had two separate streaks of winning at least 6 games (4/22-4/27 and 5/8-5/13) already, they are 15-10 in one run games and 14-10 in games decided by five or more runs. They are combined 9-11 against the Red Sox (4-6) and the Yankees (5-5) after 20 games. Four out of their first five series following the All-Star break are against teams that are below .500 (Blue Jays, Royals, Mariners, and Indians) with the only series being against Detroit Tigers who finally cracked .500 for the first time all season.</p> <p>Tampa Bay Rays have gone 42-21 since starting of the season at 8-11, 33-17 in their past 50 games and along the way have managed to piss off the Yankees and Red Sox with a few punches and hard slides as well. What else can you really ask for from a team who who went 67-95 last year – Rays are only 17 wins away from last year’s total and it’s only the half way point of the season.</p> <p>Just take a look at some of these stats:</p> <ul> <li>Days in First Place: 21 (had only been in first about 12-15 days in their entire 10 year franchise history prior to this year)</li> <li>Most Games over .500: 18 games (50-32 as of right now)</li> <li>Most Games under .500: 3 games (on 4/20 when they dropped to 8-11, have gone 42-21 since)</li> <li>Biggest Division Lead: 1.5 games (over Red Sox as of right now)</li> <li>Furthest Behind Leader: 5.0 games (last time on 4/22)</li> </ul> <p>A good majority of these stats are from <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.baseball-reference.com');" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.baseball-reference.com');">http://www.baseball-reference.com</a></span>. If you are a baseball fan, this is a must visit site. It really has a ton of stats and is constantly being updated.</p> <p>Anyways, here is to hoping that the Rays have just as successful of a 2nd half as they did in the first and what a World Series match-up it would be if itwas the Rays against the lovable losers in Chicago Cubs. Two franchises marred with losing stretches, on the brink of greatness.</p> <div class="linkwithin_hook" id="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357"></div><script type="text/javascript">AKPC_IDS += "357,";</script><p class="akpc_pop">Popularity: 1%</p><div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357&title=New Beast In The AL East&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com');" href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357&title=New Beast In The AL East&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.com'); return call_google_buzz("http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357&title=New Beast In The AL East&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com')" rel=""><img border="0" src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-buzz/icon/5.png" style="opacity:1;filter:alpha(opacity=100)" onmouseover="this.style.opacity=0.8;this.filters.alpha.opacity=80" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100"/> </a></div><div class="addtoany_share_save_container"><ul class="addtoany_list"><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F357&linkname=New%20Beast%20In%20The%20AL%20East" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/reddit.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Reddit"/></a></li><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F357&linkname=New%20Beast%20In%20The%20AL%20East" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/twitter.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Twitter"/></a></li><li><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F357&linkname=New%20Beast%20In%20The%20AL%20East" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/icons/facebook.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Facebook"/></a></li><li><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angrybrownguy.com%2Farchives%2F357&linkname=New%20Beast%20In%20The%20AL%20East" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.addtoany.com');" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a></li></ul></div><span style="clear:both;display:none;"><img src="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/img/wpsf-img.php" width="0" height="0" alt="" style="border-style:none;width:0px;height:0px;display:none;" /></span> </div> <div class="post-info"> <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357#respond" title="Comment on New Beast In The AL East"><span class='IDCommentsReplace' style='display:none'>357</span>Comments (0)<span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoPermalink357'>http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoTitle357'>New+Beast+In+The+AL+East</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoTime357'>2008-07-01+13%3A26%3A21</span><span style='display:none' id='IDCommentPostInfoAuthor357'>ABG</span></a> // <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/357#respond">Add Comment</a> </div> </div>   <div class="post" id="post-339"> <div class="post-title"> <div class="post-date"> <span>19</span> Jun </div> <h2><a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/339" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Yankees Sign Pitcher With Six Fingers!">Yankees Sign Pitcher With Six Fingers!</a></h2> Author: ABG // Category: <a href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/category/sports" title="View all posts in Sports" rel="category tag">Sports</a> </div> <div class="post-entry"> <p>Got this off of the <<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/yankees.lhblogs.com/');" href="http://yankees.lhblogs.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/yankees.lhblogs.com');">LoHud Yankee Blog</a></span>> run by Peter Abraham which really has all the stuff you need to know about the Yankees with occasional updates from the minor leagues and about draft picks as well.
