    OP Updated. Thanks for playing everyone.

    59 hits to go...
  • Need the 2012 schedule to pick. Due to Jeter experiencing a season ending injury next month he won't make it to 3k this year. 10th game in 2012 is my guess.

    heh heh,, yeah, guess not.

    I am a Yankee hater.. but I must say I got nothing.. absolutely nuttin' bad to say about Jeter. In NY all these years, never engaging in any real drama, negatives, arrogance or anything I typify with NY. Class act Jeter is. If not for the Ruth's and a couple others, he should be the most respected New York Yankee ever.

    Congrats on that collection.

    I fingered as much. Most Yankee haters just plain ol' hate no matter what. I find it funny you say that about Derek. My brother-in-law who is a die hard Red Sox fan says the same thing about Jeter. He hates all of them Posada, A-Rod, Cano etc etc. but he "tolerates" Jeter.

    Thank you for the compliment on the ol' collection.


    Edit add: Should i just delete May 6 through May 24th? Although he got 4 hits today. The time to hit the remainder by May 6 looks very bleak. Unless there are more people who want to try and get in on this?

    I have been waiting to get the MLB package so I can watch all the Yankees games. I guess now would be a good time to start watching. LOL. I miss living in the NE. Stinks I can't get all the Yankees games down here in NC unless I pay pay pay.

    Come on Derek ... average 1 hit per game between now and # 3,000.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    I am actually hoping that I don't win the contest. Although June 26 would be awesome imo. Old Timers day at the stadium + its Derek's B-Day.
  • DboneesqDboneesq Posts: 18,219 ✭✭
    I didn't want a multi hit game ... now I need 1 hit in 18 of next 20 games .... then 1+ the next game! WOO HOO! But I think he will do it sooner.

    Coming down to the wire. 16 hits to go. I think it is gonna happen soon. Like within the next couple of weeks.

    What I am finding funny in this whole thing is how a lot of people are saying Derek is having a horrible year and should retire. Yet the other day I was watching the Yankees vs. Oakland A's game. The TV listed the A's team stats on each player. All the A's players had Batting Avg of around .250. Most of these players were under Derek's current avg. Yet I see A's fans posting smack on these forums. LOL!

    I noticed DJ was 16th on Forbes list: "highest paid athletes for 2011"

    at age 36, in the twilight of his career, still making 29 million (May 2010 to may 2011).

    he's had a tough life!

    rd

    P.S. looks like 3,000 hits are just around the corner for DJ
  • twileytwiley Posts: 1,923
    DJ went 2-4 last night w/ 2 singles. Even Posada came to life last night. Shame the Yanks lost last night. 3,000 is coming very soon. I can't wait to see it happen.

    Jeter was hurt today... c'mon August 14th!! image
  • twileytwiley Posts: 1,923
    I hope his injury is minor and he returns in a couple of days...
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    My July 16th pick looks pretty good about now if he misses a few weeks. He needs a rest anyway. He looks tired.

    15 day DL.

    << <i>15 day DL. >>



    Looks like he will get a chance for hit #3000 in New York after all ... except this time it may be in QUEENS and NOT DA BRONX!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    15 Day DL. Bummer!
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    Maybe he will have to go to rehab for a week or so also and I will have a chance for my July 16 guess. Let's hope.

    Looks like he will start running soon. They also are saying it could be longer then 15 days. That is good for some and bad for others on this contest.
  • Nice all around game for Jeter last night, leaving him 4 hits away!

  • Home run for #3000. how good is that? and I hate the Yanks
  • twileytwiley Posts: 1,923
    Cards shipped out to Nam812 this AM. Thank you everyone for participating. It was a fun contest. Congrats again to Nam812 for picking the correct date.

    I honestly couldn't think of a better way to get a 3,000th hit. Derek had a spectacular day going 5 for 5 with a double, a HR, and 3 hits. Plus he got the game winning hit to top it all off. I was seriously hoping for the triple to complete the cycle but I knew that was doubtful being the triple is the hardest one to get. Congratulations to Derek Jeter on hit #3,000!
