I guess Dancing With the Stars must be a really, really, really, really good show.

What is more predictable?

A Mike Lupica article in which he mentions Dancing With The Stars or a Mike Lupica article in which he favors the Mets over the Yankees?:

"We talk and talk about shortstops this season in New York the way they once talked about Willie and Mickey and the Duke, though the conversation about them was mostly good. You really can't say the same about Jose Reyes and Derek Jeter, even if Reyes is the best player in town."

Wrong.

Jason Bay is the best player "in town."


The rest is comparing a 28-year-old baseball player to a 37-year-old baseball player.

If that intrigues you ... (spoiler alert: Lupica concludes that Reyes is better than Jeter and Lupica also uses the adjective "fast" to describe various things and, since Reyes is "fast," this somehow ingeniously links all of these things) ... please feel free to read the rest of the article.

I think it's kind of, well, lame to compare a 28-year-old athlete to a 37-year-old athlete.
