Jeter to Retire After 2014 Season

[Can_of_corn]

This is going to cause me to turn off MLB channel at least 50 times this year.

I personally don't like it when folks make these announcements and have the farewell tour.

Don't know if I can take two straight years of retiring Yankee love-fest. At least once Jeter is gone there won't be a single Yankee that I admire or respect and I can get back to hating them totally and completely.

Nothing personal, but I hope he goes out with a whimper.

What about the Jeter to Roberts to Teixiera DP combo? Don't you long for a boffo finale to their careers though? :scratchchinhmm:

Wonderful. Definitely not looking forward to watching any nationally televised O's/Yankee's game this year. I imagine the Jeter love-fest will be sickening.

I rather the whole MFY team goes out with a whimper this year.

At least we won't have to hear about it in 2015. If I hear one idiot say he is better than Cal then.....................I'll probably come on here and complain.

Just tell the idiots that say something like that that Jeter wasn't even the best shortstop on his own team for quite a few years.

Am I the only one who thinks Jeter has always been kind of selfish?

He certainly was when Arod moved to third despite being the superior defensive player at Short.

It has already started on MLB Network

Of course he is. His range at SS sucks and he has to know it, yet he wouldn't move for the better SS in ARod and still thinks he can man the position at 70, or however old he is now.

He's had a good career, and a very lucky one. I respect him just a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit, so I'll tip my cap to him but that's it. I can't wait until he's gone to stop hearing about him.

IMHO the farewell tour for Mariano was deserved as I believe he and Bernie Williams were the only class acts from that team that started in the 90's.

Man i totally forgot about Bernie Williams, I loved that guy, he's a damn good musician too.

That will be one game I will not be attending this year, the Jeter tour finale. I hope he hits .200.
