who do the Pirates pitch in the WC game?
Other than the Jays they are the one team I'd have liked to see make the 'yoffs. Real shame what happened in the last weeks. I've always been fond of the Mariners, for a number of reasons.

May the Schwartz be with you

Probably depends if they're still chasing the division on Saturday (Liriano) or Sunday (Cole)
If they burn both of those guys and still don't win the Central then Edinson Volquez, probably

and thats why Jeter is a legend
Volquez has been pretty damn solid as of late. I still don't trust him though

You're right, Jeter was selfish to come back this year. He should've done what was best for the team.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jeter wanted to leave last year but the Yankees convinced him to stay for one more year because of the A-rod crap.

he can retire whenever the fuck he wants.he's earned that much. that is beyond silly to say.

They should've cut him. Eat the money and be free.
A-rod? Normally I would agree but isn't he still owed $90 million over 3 years? That is a lot of money to burn, even for the Yankees.

I love the snark.

Cut a fan favorite and Yankee legend who still brings in millions in apparel revenue (especially with the farewell tour this year)? I'm pretty sure the Yankees are coming out ahead on Jeter's salary this year.

Jeter's grit and intangibles willed the ball out of the SS's glove

Ironic, Jeter just killed JJ Hardy's chance of replacing him.
Also, Jeter's final at bat results in an E6, something he's synonymous with.

fine. they've won World Series lately.
no, get it straight. Jeter is known for no range. he does have good hands still.
don't know how to feel about Edgar. obviously a great hitter (great, great hitter) but he broke my heart in 1995 which paved the way for 4 world series wins in 5 years.

:-( bye Jeets.....
dang I am gonna miss seeing this guy playing. not only that but he brought back superstardom to a team that hadn't had one in a long while. I don't see the Yankee farm system producing another one like this for a long time.
