Ha Ha very funny. Ok now I understand after I looked it up. This was the fourth year of the DH being used exclusively in the All-Star game.
Yeah... I think that position requires someone just a little younger. You throw in the fact that he sometimes is the full time leadoff hitter, that is alot of strain on his 37 year old body.
Jeter played in 159 games last year and led the league in hits, at bats and plate appearances, and was fifth in batting average. I don't think that a person can deteriorate from being that durable and capable one year to being too old to play anymore in the next year. Back in April, a lot of people were ridiculing the Red Sox for giving Ortiz a two-year, $26 million contract when he got injured, but right now, it looks like one of the best contract values in baseball.
A-roid is another matter. He has not attained Yankees legend status, never would have and never will, and has not shown that his longevity is or was natural or sustainable. The Yankees can buy another third baseman or two or three, and will.

For those that said Puig's throw in his debut game that ended the game with a double play at first would have been more impressive if he threw the guy out at third, well he did just that. Sort of
He nailed Harper at third and he was easily out by a foot. The ump missed the call big time though. And because of that bad call, Harper scored on a WP.

That is strange. It also happened to the Red Sox and (Devil) Rays in 2006. I distinctly remember being on vacation in Las Vegas in late July. I was watching a Red Sox-Rays game in a sportsbook and the announcer said this is the first of 18 games between the teams.
I also remember a Red Sox-Blue Jays season series had 12 of 18 games played before June a few years back.
I think these quirks are only gonna get more frequent with the odd number of teams in both leagues. Heck, it was weird to see the Red Sox scheduled to play a two game series in Denver the last week of the season.
And whats with these 2 game series, they can't even call them a series with only 2 games being played ...
BTW, why does it almost ALWAYS seem like the White Sox are playing in Kansas City?? Over the past 3 or 4 seasons I have caught about 5 White Sox-Royals games on WGN America. I know it's just a coincidence, but I feel like every time I catch a White Sox game not involving the Red Sox...it's in KC. Weird........
Ya , I think your right, but did they even think of this when they went this direction.
