Too bad he didn't take advantage of the park - he'd have 165 RBI, even with missing almost 20 games.

That would certainly be a nice touch

context-sensitive AND practical

It's more $$ to have that, tell me what shirt you want it on, and I'll oblige.

Burrell deserves to be sainted for how he's acted with the fans during his time here. He deserves so much better than the long-term fan abuse he's received.

As expected, Opie and Anthony were talking about the Mets and Phillies today (they really don't know anything about baseball) and Jim Norton's hatred of The Phanatic was once again discussed. The fact that some people still group him in as "just another mascot" still frightens and confuses me.

Yes, it's still the dog days of August and the Mets have to travel to beautiful Philadelphia tomorrow, but the NL East race is over. Though the Yankees are fighting for their playoff souls, the Mets are merrily on their way to another October.

This really wasn't much of a race. Despite all the Mets problems, despite the fact they left the door wide open in the division, the Phillies and Braves have not been able to step through the portal.

So at 6:47 last night when Aaron Heilman got Luis Gonzalez to bounce into a 1-6-3 double play to give the Mets a 4-3 win over the Dodgers at sweaty Shea Stadium, the NL East race came to a close. Sure, there are magic numbers ahead and the official champagne clinching, but the Mets have no worries until October.

Kevin Kernan's "Memo to Me"...

Kevin Kernan wrote:Memo to me: Was I ever wrong about the NL East and the Mets and the Phighting Phils.

In August I wrapped up the NL East in a nice little package for the Mets and said the race was unofficially over. I wrote these words:

Memo to Jimmy Rollins: The Best Team Won.

Here we are three days to go in the regular season and the race is just beginning.

The Phillies have overcome numerous injuries and no matter what happens these final three days, they have shown the hearts of champions and for that they should be congratulated...

... The Phillies have once again shown why baseball is the greatest game. It’s not over til it’s over. Once again that lesson was driven home – to me and everyone else in New York and especially to those in the Mets clubhouse...

Over the winter, it turns out, the Phillies were the team to beat in the NL East.

And with three days left in the season, they are still the team to beat in the NL East. Rollins was right. I was wrong. The Phillies are what being a winning team is all about.

Good man. I'm impressed with any public "figure" who doesn't go forward acting like whatever they said the day before didn't happen.

I was impressed... until he wrote this:

Kevin Kernan wrote:It was Rollins who said the Phils were the team to beat in the NL East over the winter. He was right. I was wrong. I’ve always loved Rollins approach to the game – he is Philadelphia’s Derek Jeter – and he is putting up MVP numbers.

He unded all the goodwill he built with those five words.

I don't get it.

I get it. Gunblade apparently subscribes to the popular notion that Jeter is overrated and thus takes the words as non-complimentary to J-Roll. Whether Jeter is or is not overrated, the comparison was clearly meant as a compliment.

by **VoxOrion** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 15:45:18

Yeah, I tend of think highly of Derek Jeter. People don't?

by **jemagee** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 15:45:57

The 'popular notion' is that jeter is the best and most clutchy baseball player around and that his leadership skills make the yankees dangerous all the time.

The 'actual' notion is that jeter is probably over rated and that his clutchitude is grossly overstated.

However, kernans intent was complimentary so let's go with that

Gunblade is a Notre Dame fan. If anyone knows overrated, it's a Notre Dame fan.

That said, the comparison was made because Jetes is the driving force of the Yankees, and many think Rollins is the driving force of our team. Both play shortstop. Comparisons.
