So Derek Jeter is skipping out on the all-star game because he's "emotionally exhausted"? Uhhhh spare me bro. I'm actually not sure what is more embarrassing: jeter's excuse, or the writer of the blog blowing him and saying its a solid reason. First of all, Jeter realizes that 27 other guys have reached 3,000 hits before right? He wasn't chasing a record or trying to be the quickest to reach a milestone..he woke up Saturday morning with 80something games to get ONE HIT. think anyone gives a shit that a career .313 hitter is exhausted at getting one hit in 80 games? I wonder if Jeter didn't reach 3000 hits till Friday night, if he'd ask to sit out the weekend because he was emotioanlly exhausted.
"Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter will not attend the All-Star Game due to 'emotional and physical exhaustion' from his pursuit of 3,000 hits, according to two people with knowledge of his thinking."
Yeah, screw the pennant race he's in or the fact that the yankees are looking up at the sox in the standings, he needs to relax after his exhausting pursuit to reach a personal milestone. Least we know he won't give a shit watching the sox win the world series this year, as long as he's got his 3000 hits.
