Yeah, but to jump to the idea that it's gotta be drugs is absurd.

the guy has 12 homers -- the big number is he's hitting .325 which could easily be a side-effect of an aging guy who's pretty damn smart making adjustments allowing him to get the bat to ball better.

But Skip doesn't do that, he jumps immediately to wink wink PEDs.

with Melky Cabrera hitting .340 and getting pinched a few weeks ago, not that big of a leap. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 08:34 11
- Derek Jeter has multiple seasons of this...Melky had multiple weeks of this. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 08:52 10
  - I agree, but you HAVE to say at his age, it is an anomoly to not break down at some point. - groiny Aug 23, 08:56 8
    - No, you don't have to say that. I think people want it to be true. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:00 5
      - I am not saying one way or the other, but here is the thing. If he is not using, then this all will just highlight how amazing he is doing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:02
      - Krusty, I truly fear that it it comes out that he is taking something, it would be a terrible day for baseball. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:01 3

        I wouldn't want to live in a world where that's true. Someone better take away my belt and shoelaces. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:05 1
        
        There is always Tebow! -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:06
    - I think he did...at 36. A guy as smart as Jeter knows you don't keep the same style for 20 years - Will Hunting Aug 23, 08:59 1
      - Thank you! -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:01
  - yep. -- nm - Diva Aug 23, 08:54
