Cant we just get this over please.....

Jesus Christ, he still doesn't have 3000?This guy gets hits about as often as Otis gets laid nowadays.

 

[JZilla]

SHUT IT DOWN

 

[Limp Ditka]

SHUT IT DOWN

 

[JZilla]

Who else hopes he gets three hits so Righetti never gets to actually type "3000"?

 

[JZilla]

:confetti:

Lucky day for that big ####er

 

[pantagrapher]

Well played, Jeter.

 

[whoknew]

That was pretty cool.

 

[JZilla]

Man, that was all adrenaline. That was a tough pitch.

 

[Unlucky]

Gotta give Righetti a little credit for starting this thread so long ago and having Jeter come through.

 

[pantagrapher]

Are you going to attempt to follow all of his hits in this thread for the next 7-8 years?

 

[gump]

Have to to both Jeets and Righetti on this one...glad I got to see it live.

So clutch. He's an American hero.

Nice of the pitcher to serve a gift that Jeter could crank.

Price was tired of waiting too.

 

[wazoo11]

Pujols will get 3,000 before Jeter

Can't get the guy out now.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Anyone ever cycle in the game they got their 3,000th hit?

 

[JZilla]

I remember this Derek Jeter. Looks like you guys just need to give him more attention if you want him to hit.

 

[Raider Nation]

Jose Canseco?

 

[Raider Nation]

for the Righetti update

What is he gonna talk about in here now?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

What... you don't think throwing 112 pitches thru 5 innings is also part of his master plan?

 

[JZilla]

That was a cool interview with that dude. Good for him. Bet somebody gives him a real job.

I would have wanted lifetime season tix, which the Yanks should have happily forked over.

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Awesome.

 

[shadyridr]

Man, that was all adrenaline. That was a tough pitch.

Agreed. And Jeter's not bad either

 

[AcerFC]

That was pretty awesome.

I would have definitely given the ball back for nothing and would have had probably turned down the suite. I wouldn't want to go to the stadium every night

 

[coolnerd]

Like with Biggio a few years back, I glad to see that this did not occur in a 1-5 game with some little off the fist thing the th bottom of the 8th. Congrats and now I don't have to hear/see the countdown (up) any more.
