By the way, I'm not the only one who noticed Jeter's tendency to be the last out this season. I opened the Daily News this morning to find the following sidebar:



SWINGIN' IN THE RAIN

JUNE 1: Jeter strikes out swinging against Mike MacDougal with Robinson Cano on second to end Yanks' chances in 3-1 loss to Royals. It marks the second loss of three-game sweep in Kansas City and fourth loss of a six-game skid.

JUNE 6: With Bernie Williams on second and Yanks down by one, Jeter lines out to right field in Bombers' 4-3 loss to Brewers in Milwaukee.

JUNE 7: The next night, Yankees enter ninth down 2-0. Bernie Williams drives in Jorge Posada to make it 2-1. With Robinson Cano on third, Jeter grounds out to reliever Derrick Turnbow to end rally, and game.

JUNE 20: With Bombers down to D-Rays, 5-4, on Monday night, Jeter grounds out to short to end contest, and six-game winning streak.

YESTERDAY: With Yanks down, 5-3, and two out, Robinson Cano triples and up comes Jeter. He goes down swinging to Tampa Bay's Danys Baez to end comeback attempt and short-lived joy from Tuesday night's 20-11 comeback victory.



Heh. guess I gave him too much credit when I said it was only three times (admittedly, I said it was three K's, and only two of the FIVE examples above are strike outs, but let's not split hairs here). And, of course, that's only June.

Holy shit, that's so funny! I sent an email to some friends of mine about that exact same thing after the game ended on Wednesday. Heh. Synergy. I mentioned to them that while it should amuse me, I actually was starting to feel a little bad for him, kinda, sorta.

And they all disowned me.

Aw. I won't disown you. I am, after all, one of the tiny minority of Red Sox fans who don't hate Jeter with a blinding passion. I even kind of like him but don't tell anyone.
