Good point, Klyd! lol

From what I understand, his dad was quite the taskmaster, and Jeter is very happy to attribute his successes to his father's discipline.

I think it's wonderful that his father refused to let Derek play baseball if he didn't maintain a very high grade point average. Obviously, his son was an extremely gifted athlete, and that might have blinded some parents. His father, though, made his son's education the priority.

Congratulations, Derek Jeter! After he tied the record, he was as humble and gracious as always. He said that he was very torn by being excited about the record, and upset that they were losing.

Why do they keep saying that he broke a 72 year old record? Gehrig's last hit (that Jeter just surpassed) was made in 1939... that's 70 years - not 72.

I don't know who said 72 years, but you're right, 70+ years.

Seriously, I don't think one can argue that the Yankees have the best 5 man rotation in baseball with Sabathia, Burnett, Wang, Pettitte, and Chamberlain.


I agree 100% that they could go all the way. I have two baseball team favs, one is the yankees and the other is the A's. But i was really mad that oakland traded Giambi. Now he's kicking butt for the Rockies.

Big win for the Yankees last night against the Angels. They'll be tough come playoff time if they both happen to meet in the ALCS.

I REALLY don't understand this. Why does Joe Girardi continue to put Sergio Mitre in every 5th day while he continues to overlook Chad Gaudin?

I don't know. What's going to happen in the playoffs if they can only count on two starters? Joba, Burnett and Mitre have all been unreliable. Well, Mitre always will, and Joba and Burnett are struggling. But I hate to see them struggling in September.

It was especially nice that he did it on 9-11. I was always surprised that of all the great Yankee hitters, they've never had a member of the 3,000 hit club. Jeter will be the first.

I haven't been following the Yankees daily, but about two weeks ago there was talk of keeping Chamberlain in the rotation, but limiting his starts to three innings. They're not really doing this, are they?

Yes, they are. Isn't it ridiculous?? Now that they have Hughes doing well as Mo's set-up man, there's no pressure to have Joba in the bullpen EXCEPT that who knows how much longer Mo can last? They're going to need a closer eventually, and I think that Joba and Hughes would be a lethal combination.

Don't worry, Mitre won't smell the playoffs (they'll go with a 3 man rotation in the Division Series and a 4 man rotation for the Championship Series and World Series). But I still don't understand why during the regular season (yes, they're still trying to wrap up their division and home field advantage) they don't give Gaudin more starts?

I definitely feel Jorge was in the wrong. He shouldn't have done that, that's not Yankee baseball. I'm just glad no one's hurt or going to miss important games (he's missing the Toronto and Seattle series I believe).

Yes and no. The Toronto pitcher didn't hit Posada, but he definitely was looking for a confrontation. There was no reason for him to be near home plate on the FIRST base side. If he was trying to stop a run from scoring, then he would have been on the third base side. I think he was looking for Posada.

I agree that Posada should have kept his cool. The last thing they need is an injury or suspension that could screw up their chance at the playoffs! The Toronto pitcher came out looking worse, though! grin

The good news is that Cervelli is back! I really like him as a backup catcher.

I find it very odd because limiting a starter to three innings every 5 days is like not having him in the rotation at all. The expanded September rosters lightens the added burden to the bullpen, but it's curious the way the Yankees have always seemed to keep a prohibitive leash on Chamberlain.

My take on it is that Posada was completely out of line and I agree with umpire Jim Joyce that it was a very cheap shot. Two Blue Jay batters were hit by pitches that would lead one to suspect that they were being buzzed. A purpose pitch had to be anticipated, and sure enough, one sailed by Posada. At that moment the issue was over. That's usually the game's way of resolving things like this.

Posada's elbow while scoring and running to his dugout merely served to inflame a situation that was seemingly put to rest.

This is the same pitcher that accidentally hit Pedroia on his last outing. He either has the best or the worst aim in the world. I haven't made up my mind yet.

Are they limiting his innings or his pitch count? He's been up to 100+ pitches in his latest starts by the third inning which just menas he's struggling anyway.

I read a few days ago that the Joba rules are done now. There's no more restrictions for the rest of the year/playoffs.

BIG win for them last night. Congrats on being the first to clinch (so sick of hearing about how they missed the playoffs last year) but the job's not done. They've gotta continue to hold off Boston and Los Angeles for the division and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
