When somebody says they're not rubbing it in, they're usually rubbing it in.

"Eckstein has now won two rings as a starting shortstop, one in each league. Not to rub it in. [sic] but he and Scott Spiezio are now each up two rings on A-Rod."

Eckstein and Spiezio are now each up two rings on the combined totals for ARod, Ernie Banks, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Don Mattingly, Mike Piazza, Vladimir Guerrero, Barry Bonds, Carl Yastrzemski, Garth Iorg, Matt Luke, Peyton Manning, and Charles Barkley.

Andy Fox and Clay Bellinger are now each up only one ring.

Is there a point?

Yes, there is.

The point is ...

Well, there is no point.

Other than to rub it in.

Well, I wouldn't go as far as specifically denying Jeter the MVP, but Jeter does get a heckuva lot of credit for supposedly great leadership, yet he addresses the ARod situation thusly:

"What do you want me to do? Maybe I'm not smart enough to figure that out. You support him, you support everybody who's on your team."

"Why wouldn't he be back? He's got [four] years left on his contract."

Inspiring stuff.
