I don't feel like looking up the links to all the articles that have been written recently -- by fans and sportswriters alike -- that have trashed Jeter's performance in the ALDS.
I just find it amusing that Lupica seemingly takes the pulse of the New York sports scene without reading any newspaper articles or typing "Derek Jeter" into a search engine.
So, in Lupica's mind, Jeter is the Teflon Captain.
Lupica thinks he is the first writer brave enough to call out the Captain:
"This time the shortstop, the captain of the team, hurt the Yankees every bit as much as the third baseman did. It goes on his record with all the winning.
This one goes on him, really for the first time."
Okay, you're on the right track, except:
1. Jeter hurt the team more than ARod.
2. It's not the first time Jeter has hurt the team in the playoffs.
That's just how baseball works.
