The Stupidity of Rob Dibble (MSN Article on Jeter)

Has anyone else read the idiotic verbal outpouring of Rob Dibble on the msn.foxsports.com web site? Its a cover story complaining about how great Jeter is and how the upcoming all star game is a fluke without the games "greatest" players involved. In one of his many rants of Jeter's greatness, he actually compares Jeter to Michael Jordan...

 

...can you imagine an NBA All-Star game without Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson? Neither can I, and Jeter is the Jordan of baseball.

 

What is this guy smoking? Jeter is no perenial All-Star, let alone a player who's dominated his sport for a century. What he is, however, is one of the most overrated, overhyped, and annoying players in the MLB today.

 

Jeter is no Jordan, he's more like the Robert Horry of baseball. People call him "clutch" because of all the supposed big hits he has, but no one seems to remember all the crap plays at SS with his shoddy defense or his many strikeouts with runners in scoring position. Clutch is the result of a short memory of only good events and the ability of the human mind to forget about the bad times.

I listened to Dibble go on and on about this today on XM. Then the Yankees fans called in and basicly told Dibble that he was wrong - mentioning Jeter's sub-par defense among many other things.

It was in anticipation of articles like this that I was happy that Scott Podsednik was voted in as the last man (even if he is a member of the White Sox and doesn't deserve the honor).
