Why all the Fuss about Jeter and Posada sucking at the Plate this Year?

[festeringZit]

Since the rest of the team is sucking just as bad?

Some of the other starters:

Mark Teixeira: .252 (almost as many K's as hits)
A-Roid: .242 (31 hits, 29 K's )
Nick Swisher: .218 (29 hits, 32 K's)
Brett Gardner: .248 (28 hits, 27 K's)
Russell Martin: .252 (28 hits, 21 K's)

The highest batting average for a starter is Cano at .286

It's impressive they've won as many games as they have so far...

Amazing the Yanks have the record they do when you think about it....................

pitching has carried them and the early long ball

Georgie brought most of the attention onto himself by the stunt he pulled this weekend. Jeter is getting attention because he looks so bad in the process. At least Tex and the rest are hitting some hard out's and sprinkling in some HR's. Jeter just looks weak at the plate.

I'm tired of hearing about the core four as they say! Mariano is great, Jeter young fans hold in the same rarified air that holds DiMaggio, Mantle, Ruth & Gehrig and thats just silly he is not even one of the best 10 offensive players in Yankee History. Posada at best is the 5th best catcher the Yanks ever had! And Jeter & Posada complaining about being dissed while making around 15 milion is outrageous!

Because only 1 player can bat 9th

3 rd in the league in slugging, first in runs scored, 3rd in on base percentage.
Colon 3.10 era, CC on pace to win 22 games, Granderson 20 homers, 52 runs scored, lead league, Tex 47 RBI's, Mo 16 saves so far, and on, and on, and on.

Yeah, they suck
