The bitterness Sox fans continue to have towards Jeter's catch will always be hilarious. It's cool - even Yankees fans agree that the catch against Oakland in the ALDS was better. Haters gonna hate.

Heh, I have absolutely no memory of that one somehow.cromulence said:No, I mean this. (And yeah obviously Gordon's catch is better.) The relay is a thing of beauty though.
cromulence said:
Sure, OK. You're just making my point for me. You guys let it bother you WAY too much. If I were you, I'd associate that catch with trading Nomar and finally winning. I wouldn't be all grumpy about it, which is how Sox fans are every time it's shown or mentioned.

Much funnier--that the general quality of Yankee baseball discussion on the internet is so barren and clearly infected with stupid that the few remaining stragglers have to come here to experience our "bitterness" and pretend not to be bothered by it.
Like, much funnier.

The idea that that catch has anything to do with trading Nomar is funny.

Nats now up 13-12, Uggla with a 3 run shot off Grilli.tims4wins said:Nats down 10-2? Matt Williams is toast soon
Yeah, he caught a line drive with his face.Deathofthebambino said:According to the box score, Archie Bradley left the game in the 2nd with a head injury. Line drive back to the mound? Anyone know what happened?
Face was swollen up, probably needs some dental work.Deathofthebambino said:Uggh. Was he conscious?

No one is bitter about Jeter's catch. But it's not close to the iconic moment it has been made out to be. We just love pointing that out.
There is clearly an edge to some of the comments, but if you want to see bitterness, just try and have a rational conversation with a Yankee fan about Jeter's place among the all-time greats. No one spits more bile than Yankee fans confronted with facts that refute the alltimegreatness of Captain Intangibles.

You are doing a good enough job on your own.

Wow, looks like I touched a nerve. I didn't realize you had a stick up your ass with a Yankees logo on it (actually, I probably did but just forgot). Anyway, sorry for the derail, I'm done. Sorry for inventing the entire Nomar narrative, too. That was something I just made up the other day and totally not a thing that happened in 2004.
