The not all the way black hole
Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 12:16 am by Mick Shrimpton
.699 -- That is Derek Jeter's current OPS.
After going 1-5 versus Tampa, Jeter's line has dropped to .266/.312/.387!! On May 11th, we outlined everything that Derek is doing wrong at the plate. Some of you will whine that we're pointing this out, but it doesn't take away from the fact that his season has been very poor so far.
We absolutely hope he returns to form, but right now, he's killing the Yanks.

Scientific fact
one of the most clever and hilarious post titles i’ve ever seen
You know, I really don’t think about individual stats, as long as we are the champions at the end of the season, I don’t care if I hit .250
He should trip over his own bat, like me!
DFA him
Keep it down – I’m trying to take a nap here.
I’m distracting him with wedding plans. Sorry guys!
No need to worry, I’ve got an edge…and I got it with this cool panoramic vista roof.
I’m willing to bet Jeter won’t break my hit record.
I give him another awful plate appearance becfore he’s out with “Back Spasms”
Why it gotta be a “Black” hole!
I love the guy so much I’m that I’m gonna name my first born son after him but holy Christ does he suck right now.
Best title in a while.

Great post!
He needs some meth.
Please take the heat off my terrible job at building a team by slamming a guy who’s clearly just in a slump.
It’s ok that you gave Tex a pass all April, but please keep throwing Jeter under the bus to hide how bad of a job I’ve done this year.
Jeter defenders are pathetic.
Arnold I agree completely! More of this anti Jeter rhetoric.
Witty reference
Inb4 someone posting as Jerry Manuel suggests batting him 3
don’t piss off the hot women who love this guy, they don’t care about no stinkin statistics…
The positive here os that he won’t demand a huge contract if he has a down year
He’s continuing to swing at garbage.
5 rings!!! BABIP!!! He’s hitting balls hard!! They’ll start to fall!! The Flip! The Dive! Did I mention 5 rings!!!…111!!!
Sadley, he’s not hitting balls hard. There is no bad luck involved here.
*Sadly
The comment sections on here are starting to be a major reason to come. Great job everyone. Keep up the slightly controversial and politically incorrect banter!
It seems like 90% of his at bats end with either a strikeout or a ground ball to shortstop.
Rich.
I agree completely. He needs to pick it up big time.
There’s nothing wrong with mediocrity. Derek’s only real vice is he’s not hitting the ball. He still grinds out at-bats though.
Also, I’m a baseball announcer. Vvvroooom!! Baaaam!! Kappplow!!
Rich, the number is actually 73.4% that end in that fashion.
My secret sauce is available if needed.
Oh BTW, screw you Alex.
Kate, stay away from Alex, slut.
Clearly the new haircut is at fault. Jeet needs a Kid-n-Play intervention.
Tri-Lambs Rule.
I had lotta diarrhea.
Time to start hitting him 8th.
Still waiting for our back taxes. ***man, did this just fly under the radar like Gary Condit***
Just have him take batting practice against Joba. Then hand me a beer and cut my taxes.
So guys, whadda ya think: is Jeter still your favorite Yankee?
Some of these comments are absolute gems. My favorites: Gary Sheffield, Ken Griffey Jr, Al Leiter, and Chan Ho Park. Great stuff all around.
Ya know, I told ya in March Jeeta wood hit .260.
Wheres Dawg bydahway?
he just needs a Pajama Jammy Jam
That’s a good enough batting line for me. Lets give him a 10 year, 30 million a year contract and we’ll keep Cashman out of it.
Jeter’s slump is all George W. Bush and the Tea Party’s fault.
Jeter needs a bailout.
Fatcessa:
Bite me
Love,
Chris
literally lol’d at the title. well done!
Yes kill Jeter nomass.com because he is in a slump in May. I bet you guys wish you had 9 Nick Johnson’s out there.
We’re two months into the season, Youks. It’s not a May slump. Stop masturbating to pictures of Derek.
Can we start a thread called It’s Nick Johnson’s fault. Since he got this team has been hit with bizarre injuries and lackluster play. On second thought the thread should be called it’s Nomaas’ fault.
