The long national nightmare is over.
Derek Jeter finally got his 3000th hit.
ESPN will just have to come up with a new headline story every night.
(Although Alex Rodriguez’s knee tear does give them a potential “A-Rod injury update” option.)

Jeter has been around a few years. Well, more than a few. In fact, when he made his major league debut in 1995, David Price, the Rays pitcher who gave up his 3,000th, (and made his own major league debut in 2008) was nine years old.
Jamie Moyer on the other hand , in 1995 was probably already gray.

Many in the media are calling the guy who caught the home run ball that was Jeter’s 3000th hit an idiot for giving it back. Since he only got memorabilia and tickets in return. They say he could have made $500,000. But the tickets the Yankees gave them are in the Championship Suites section for the rest of the year. Their face value might be over $500,000.

If Jeter got his 3000th hit on the same day of the Casey Anthony verdict, I think a lot of the East Coast media’s heads would have exploded.

Congratulations to South Sudan, the world’s newest nation, on their Independence Day. Wonder how long it will take someone to offer them a bribe to vote on the next Olympics or FIFA World Cup?
During his U.S visit with his bride Kate/Catherine, Prince William took part in a charity polo match in Los Angeles Saturday. When asked about it, Sarah Palin remarked that it was amazing how they must have taught the horses how to swim.

The Dodgers fired Steve Garvey, because while he was working for them he was also involved with another group trying to buy the team. Let’s see, Los Angeles was shocked by duplicity from a man who got two women pregnant in the same year he married a third woman.

Meanwhile, Saturday the Dodgers beat the Padres 1-0 with a walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth, after Los Angeles had been no-hit through eight. Three hits in the game combined for both teams. Okay, baseball fans. Could you have imagined such a display of pitching/offensive fuility, and the SF Giants weren’t involved?

Garvey was fired by the Dodgers from their Marketing & Community Relations Department. Obviously, they had different ideas as to his duties.

Ex-Giant Juan Uribe broke up the no-hitter with a double after striking out twice and popping up.

Funny quote from David Ortiz after the melee @ Fenway. He said Marco Scutaro looked like Kevin Gregg’s backpack when he jumped in during the brawl. LOL.

Equally duplicitous is saying “a man who two women pregnant,” without considering the women had any role in getting themselves pregnant. And since he married the third, would he be guilty of indirect tri-foldness?

The sports media loves to talk about what a big deal it is that Jeter is the 1st Yankee with 3,000 hits. Consider that Babe Ruth (2873 hits) pitched over five seasons, Lou Gehrig (2721) was a .340 career hitter retired at 36 with a disabling disease, and Joe DiMaggio served 3 years in the army. No reasonable person could argue that Jeter’s insistence of continuing to play despite diminished skills makes him a better hitter than any of those truly great Yankees

Overheard at Cleveland game – Home plate ump and Indian’s Carlos Santana
Ump: Oye Como Va

Ump: I’ve got a Black Magic Woman
CS: It’s all in the game of love
Ump: it took a little bit of this, a little bit of that, started with a kiss
CS: Now I’m up to bat

I always thought Garvey was a 3-tool player, but apparently, it was just one, tho a player, he was. (Shouldn’t he be doing PR for the NBA?)

Wonder if Casey Anthony is a sports fan? That will not only give ESPN all the headlines it could handle, but they may very well break into that bored housewife demographic.
