Golden Boy hits .167 in series at Fenway.

3-for-18, no walks, no runs, one rbi.

Throw in a .233 with runners on base and a .214 with runners on base with two outs and I'm forced to wonder what the word "clutch" even means.

Actually, I don't wonder. Jeter has a well-deserved rep that he can't always live up to. His performance goes unexamined and unquestioned because he's the Golden Boy.

As Mark Twain said, "Give a man a reputation as an early riser, and that man can thereafter sleep until noon."
