This message board needs to take a collective step back

Tonight's game thread is a train wreck. I get hating the Yankees and hating on Jeter, but get a grip. This is an instant classic moment in sports and, frankly, US history. Enjoy it.

It won't bother you so much when we win a championship.

It will bother me seeing us as the team Jeter walked off on in his last At bat.. that's just me.

US history? On the subject of getting a grip...

Does the Jeter flip in Oakland rank just above or just below the Gettysburg Address?

[Sanfran327]

Sure. Not history book history, but this is a significant pop culture moment. Absolutely.

[TheDirtyBird]

Huge moment in US history, similar to walking on the moon or the American revolution. Man we all gotta get a grip

No.

Letters: No, again.

[Hank Scorpio]

Uh.... we are very different people.

o

I think that Mike Nesmith's mother inventing white-out was more historic.

[Sanfran327]

Flame away. I stand by that statement.

Everybody holding their breath and stomping their feet. Hilarious.

The Flag Raising at Iwo Jima.

Dr. Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech.

The Battle of Gettysburg.

Derek Jeter's walk off hit in his final game at Yankee Stadium.

Which one doesn't belong?

[Palmoripken]

US history? It's not even the most important hit of Jeter's career. It is what is and why I am not too upset. A pretty much meaningless hit by a guy on a team out of contention against a team already clinched using its B) bullpen. Good for Jeter I guess but let's not act like this was an amazing accomplishment. Storybook ending no doubt but this isn't one of those things that belongs in baseball lore.

[Hank Scorpio]

Any half assed attempt to beat the Yankees should always be criticized.

That was more of a quarter assed attempt.

[Hank Scorpio]

The speech was classy. It's the media ,not Jeter, that will be insufferable.

There was a speech?

My TV was off before the ball hit the ground.
