THIS. No other matchup would have been as exciting and mean more than beating the NY Yankees with a healthy Derek Jeter. He is the epitome of class and greatness as a ball player. I guess most people understand that.

I still want a Yankees-Giants WS, but admit it wouldn't be the same without Jeter

Could give a s**t less about the Yankees, injuries are a part of baseball and no one felt sorry for Buster when he went down last year because he was "blocking the plate." I'm not going to feel sorry for him either.

I feel bad for Jeter but I didn't want to play the yanks, regardless. I'm sure I'm in the minority that feels this way, but I wouldn't find it that satisfying a matchup, reason being the Yanks get there so many times that even if they lost, it probably wouldn't even be a big deal to their fans. They'd just sweep it under the rug and move on to next year, but with Detroit and their fans, there would be a lot more emotion on the line. Yeah, I know I'm weird.

LOL I guess you and 99 are more alike than I thought. That is quite the statement that " no one felt sorry for Buster when he went down". REALLY? I think a lot of people did. But you go ahead and not feel sorry for Jeter because of that.

While I agree not many people gave a f**k as much as they should w/ Posey, that doesn't make it right to feel that way about Jeter. You're gonna hear a LOT more about Jeter. Jeter is one the best players of all time. Posey is still young. If you swapped roles, you'd hear the same about Posey. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Hope Jeter doesn't go out this way.

Agreed.

That jeter injury sucks. I just don't think the Yankees can beat the Tigers without their emotional leader playing.

Come on man.

Put down the Hatorade dude . Every one felt sorry for Posey and now more people feel sorry for Jeter, regardless of wether or not 'it's part of the game!' Show some class man. You're way off point on this one. Posey's injury last year sucked Ballz . Sucked for him , the Giants and the MLB . Just like this injury to Jeter does.

Really, no one gave a s**t and about 90% of sports pundits said it was his own fault for "blocking the plate."

Sorry, I hate all east coast sports, their teams, the players and the media. Like I said, I could give a s**t less about the Yankees and Jeter.

Giants all the way, no other teams or their players matter.

show some class because I don't feel sorry for Jeter, the Yankees or their $200 million dollar payroll? Give me a break.

I respect him as a baseball player but that doesn't mean I have to like him or feel sorry for him when he gets injured.
