New York Yankees' Derek Jeter: End of an Era or Pause in Greatness? Friday, April 22, 2011 @ 6:36PMI’m not a sabermetrics guy. Instead of numbers and formulas, I prefer to rely on what I glimpse with my own two eyes, and judge what I see not with a calculator but with instincts that have been honed through a lifetime of watching baseball. For the last year, sabermetrics supporters and analysts have been saying that Derek Jeter is done. I have not believed them. When I looked at Jeter I saw ...

Shooting from the Lip Thursday, November 18, 2010 @ 8:04PMBy Tom Jones, Times Staff Writer Thursday, November 18, 2010 Complaint of the d ay Sorry, but I don't see how a pitcher who goes 13-12 can win the Cy Young Award, as Seattle's Felix Hernandez did Thursday.

Cy Young voters got it wrong Thursday, November 18, 2010 @ 3:00PMSorry, but I don't see how a pitcher who goes 13-12 can win the Cy Young Award as Seattle's Felix Hernandez did Thursday.
