#2 will be in the house so hopefully they do him proud.

After the Captain receives his accolades and his number retired I'd love to see Steinbrenner step out with an announcement that Jeter is now officially a member of the Yankees ownership group. I can only imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^Miami baseball fans are very lucky to have Jeter as their future shared owner...........

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I've heard there are some flies in that ointment, but again when dealing with the press any story is possible. If I were the Steins I'd have jumped on getting Jeter in there as soon a that story reared its head. Hard to envision Jeter associated with any organization but the Yankees. If Jeter did get in there Cashman would have to start counting his minutes remaining on the job. Garciaparra, A-hole, Tejada, all touted as better than Jeter, it ain't how you start it's how you finish and Jeter did with a flourish.

[Yankeefan5545]

Yankees better not even think of resigning this overrated bum.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Note to ESPN Broadcast crew, report on game actions and keep the extemporaneous comments to yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cagedlion]

^^^never happen!

 

[yankeesince59]

Yankees better not even think of resigning this overrated bum.

^^^Yanx are already on the hook...and if he does not have a good year he has no reason to opt out because he knows that he won't get a better deal than the one he already has with the Yanx which pays him $22 Mil for 2018 and 2019 and $23 Mil for 2020...he also has a full NTC.
...Yanx are pretty much stuck with him.

 

[cagedlion]

OMG! Tank let loose a shitload! Nobody can clean his bed! What a horror. And here I thought his future
would be promising. Geeez. 8 f'king runs. Ugh.................

 

[cagedlion]

Astros may score a record opponent runs at the Stadium.BTW, what is the present record?

Answer: Cleveland Indians.....August 31, 2004........22 runs.
And to throw more salt into the wound on that day, those Yankees were shut out!

Thanks for reminding me Ron.

Actually I would put Tanaka in the Bullpen and call up one of the kids. My Husband said "you think too much, maybe you should be the Manager".

 

[cagedlion]

Well, at least we won't be shut out. Top of 6th, 'stros 9 Yankees 4

I remember that game, a guy I worked with hated the Yankees and he spent the rest of the season bringing it up. Even worse when the Yanks pissed away the 3-0 game lead in the ALCS and lost to Boston. The 2004 season was a bad one for Yankee Fans.

 

[Lillie]

Ok the Hockey series is tied at 1-1, yes I am bored and my Husband went to bed.
