For those of you who aren't overly familiar with baseball, range factor and zone rating are totally irrelevant. I'm satisfied with Jeter's 4th place ranking in fielding percentage though. I also like this ranking here (and notice who's in last place on this one): http://sports.espn.go.com/mlbhist/stats/batting?seasonType=2&type=reg&sort=avg&minpa=0&split=0&season=2006&pos=ss&hand=a&league=mlb&ageMin=17&ageMax=51
So I'm waiting in line at L.L.Bean in Freeport, Maine wearing my NY and waiting to check out. One of the cashiers looked up and noticed me in the queue. Scowling: "A Yankee fan in my line." :(
A woman of a certain age turned around to address me on the topic. She said, "I don't like the Yankees. I like the Red Sox." Pause. "But I do like that Derek Jeter."

and your statistical analysis is about as useful as Terry Francona's compulsive rocking. Other notes:
- Ron Villone's era is down to 2.00.
- The Yankees scored in every inning today - the 6th time that's ever happened in AL history.
- Modest Mouse was playing over the loudspeakers at Yankee Stadium today.
- The Steelers traded up to draft Santonio Holmes.

That'd be Yankee wisdom.
