- safari? -- nm - mafic Sep 23, 19:17 1
  - Would love to, but I think it's too late for that. I *have* been to South Africa and Rhodesia and visited Kruger Park and others. -- nm - Meg Sep 23, 19:21
- do you want us to persuade you otherwise? - b. Sep 23, 19:05 5
  - I know. There's just so much I still want to do or see but I'd probably want to do an escorted tour and those are way expensive. - Meg Sep 23, 19:12
  - I have to skedaddle, but I'll check later -- is that $379 a day, lowest, inclusive of - b. Sep 23, 19:11 3
    - $379 is the price for one person as part of an inside double. I'd be in a mid-ship ocean view which pencils out to just under $1,000 for a single. - Meg Sep 23, 19:16 1
      - And that's total price (not per day) and includes meals and entertainment. - Meg Sep 23, 19:19

    - Yup, and he is in one of the Avengers books right now. - Spawn Sep 23, 19:32 4
      - Secret Avengers? -- nm - Remlik Sep 23, 19:33 3
        
        Need to check. - Spawn Sep 23, 19:42 2
        
        Avengers World. I love that book...it's crazy.... - Remlik Sep 23, 19:47 1
        
        Oh, I agree. But the city on the head thing is a bit much. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 20:05

Keith Olbermann: Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player, or shortstop, ever. -- (link) - Tim Sep 23, 18:28 [youtube] 77
- Won't anyone think of all the hotties he got with? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 23, 19:25
- He's a bi-racial angel! -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 19:23 4
  - So funny. -- nm - kelly Sep 23, 19:38
  - You shoulda shot ARod! - Will Hunting Sep 23, 19:30 2
    - "Seriously, who is that?" -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 19:49 1
      - That's the other line that kills me. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 20:01
- Related: I despise the Richard Sherman ad for Nike. -- nm - nubby Sep 23, 19:09
- There's a certain delusion of grandeur that goes along with these rants too, smart guy. -- nm - Max Sep 23, 19:03 1
  - Oh, Olbermann's full of himself, I don't disagree, but he's really on point with a lot of his commentaries lately. -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 19:06
- Didn't Jeter date Madonna at some point? That's probably the only reason I even know his name. - jaxSean Sep 23, 18:59 3
  - Nah, that was Madonna. Jeter dated every hot woman in the last 15 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 19:02 2
    - You mean Mariah. - Reagen Sep 23, 19:03 1
      - Rght, I butchered that. ARod with the hag, Jeter ruined Mariah. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 19:04
- I'm trying to imagine another league doing farewell tours for opposing players and laughing my head off. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 18:56 9
  - Kareem Abdul-Jabar got a nice farewell tour -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 19:12 1
    - Boston gave him part of the parquet floor -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 19:13
  - Gretzky sort of got it. unofficially. -- nm - mafic Sep 23, 19:09 1
    - though I seem to remember Bettman asked him to come back for one more to get the real deal, and he said no. -- nm - mafic Sep 23, 19:19
  - It happens in basketball, too. -- nm - David Sep 23, 18:57 1
    - Bleh. they should have some hometown pride. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 18:59
  - NBA did for Kareem. -- nm - Remlik Sep 23, 18:57 2
    - I missed your post before I made mine :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 19:13 1
      - Crash you may always double post! -- nm - Remlik Sep 23, 19:30
- (I actually had no idea he's one of the worst defensive shortstops ever.) -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 18:55 6
  - But still going to the hall of fame on the first ballot. - Krusty Sep 23, 18:58
  - Opinions vary on that. I'm looking forward to the future when we have precise calculations on that stuff. - David Sep 23, 18:57 4
    - It still bothers me how all that stuff can only be calculated after the fact. - Tim Sep 23, 19:04 2
      - Even if your team sucks, they could always be worse without you. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 19:08
      - If your team goes 0-162, then no, but as long as it's not extreme, it's pretty standard. -- nm - nubby Sep 23, 19:06
    - Yeah, defensive WAR is still a bit rough, to my understanding. - Reagen Sep 23, 18:58
- Chipper Jones got a similar good-bye tour, but it wasn't nearly as publicized. - nubby Sep 23, 18:48 18
  - lol at comparing Chipper Jones to Derek Jeter -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 18:53 12
    - Right, Chipper is demonstrably better. There is over 100 points difference in their career OPS. -- nm - David Sep 23, 18:55 11
      - oh no, you misunderstand. I am totally not on boad the Jeter is amazing train. Im solely saying he is the most popular and loved ballplayer in years. -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 18:58
      - Yeah, OPS+ is 115 for Jeter vs 141 for Jones. Jones was far more damaging a hitter. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 18:57 9
        
        (But just to be clear, I think Derek Jeter is and should be a slam dunk first ballot Hall of Famer.) -- nm - David Sep 23, 18:58 8
        
        (I mean, except for a handful of idiot sportswriters who think they're guarding the Holy Grail) -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 19:01 1
        
        I hope Deadspin buys another ballot. -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 19:02
        
        He's Ripken a decade later. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 19:00
        
        Yes, I don't think anyone disagrees with that. - Reagen Sep 23, 19:00 4
        
        He's the greatest Yankee in 50 years, so I get it but I also agree it's gone too far. - David Sep 23, 19:01 3
        
        It doesn't help that we're just one year from Mariano Rivera getting blown at every MLB ball park. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 19:05 2
        
        Except Citi Field, where he blew. - Tim Sep 23, 19:05 1

- [deleted]
- My view: He's one of the best players of his era. Yes, he's a Hall of Famer. But knock this "best ever" crap off. - Tim Sep 23, 18:32 11
  - No one in their right mind things Jeter is the best anything in baseball. Great, yes. Best, no. - Krusty Sep 23, 18:50
  - [deleted]
  - Best, by what metric? -- nm - nubby Sep 23, 18:47 6
    - Outstanding achievement in the field of excellence -- nm - prayformojo Sep 23, 18:52
    - Well, he's 4th in active WAR at B-R so one of the best of his era would suffice - Will Hunting Sep 23, 18:50
    - [deleted] 3
      - Consistency, maybe. Chipper actually led the league in something at some point. -- nm - nubby Sep 23, 18:54 2

        Doesn't bother me one bit. The KO piece is the first I've paid real attention. -- nm - nubby Sep 23, 18:59

  - Ernie Banks -- nm - CQ Sep 23, 18:41 1
    - Honus Wagner. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 18:45
  - He is easily the most beloved player since Ripken thats for sure. -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 18:34
Mets skipping his last scheduled start and shutting Jacob deGrom down for the season. He's gotta be your NL ROY. -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 18:23

  - though I do think Cassadee Pope is on the verge of blowing up, and perhaps Danielle Bradbury as well -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 18:35 2
    - I hope so, for their sakes. Danielle likely has a better chance at more. - b. Sep 23, 18:51 1
      - thats a good point about the support -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 19:12
- She strikes me as not that talented. -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 18:19 1
  - When she got on stage last night, she sounded worse than any of the contestants. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 18:20
- Pharrell has been fantastic though. (literally the exact opposite) -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 18:18 3
