Everybody knows Jeter is the guy on the Yanks you need to bring up when making comparisons in the "Hustle" department.
If I was a Sox fan, you would need to bring up Pedroia, not ortiz.
Otherwise your comparing apples to oranges, but you knew that already

Couple of points:


Chris, you seem awfully vested in a team you are not a fan of!

Mac, yes its Saturday morning, I'm bored, so I'm stirring the pot

FWIW, I think the Mets should clean house!
Trade Wright, Santana, and Dickey.
That's how they will get out of this situation they are mired in.
Bringing in crops of young talent, not holding on to the failed dreams of an 06, 07, and 08 team that came up short after being built around Wright!
As for a veteran presence, You have Jason Bay for next year with a player option for the following year!
Dom, there is nobody I would rather dispute the faults of this team than you. Honestly for a Yankee fan you aren't half bad. That being said as much as I tried not to watch the Mets, once hockey and basketball season was over it was either watch the Mets, or be converted to a Kardashian viewer by my girlfriend. Since I couldn't allow the latter, I watched a lot of baseball, as a way to count the days until football season starts, which by the way in less than 6 weeks away.
