Marc S.I work in NYC nearly every day, working for a company that organizes information. All I have is stats / data / numbers / stories in front of me all day long.
Derek Jeter has exactly one hit in twelve at-bats, including no walks, four strikeouts, and an amazing two GIDP yesterday alone.
Were A-Rod to be 1:12, he would be crucified in the media, there would be outrage, and people would be calling for George's head, for not calling for ARod's head. But when Jeter sucks a big one this October...it nary gets mentioned.
Is there a point at which we can suggest that people love to hate A-Rod and love to love Jeter...and will essentially find the data and statistics to prove their point, every time?
