I grew up with my mother and brother genuflecting toward Flushing (an awful metaphor, but you now what I mean) and sat through too many Yankees-Mets games in Ft. Lauderdale with pots and pans and noisemakers from their classy followers.

Besides, Willie’s a Yankee, right? I mean, this is just an asterisk in his career, like when he went to the Dodgers in ’88.

I hope Gary Carter gets the job. That would be awesome (or some other word that begins with the same three letters.)

In terms of Harden, he’s too big a gamble even at 5 straight starts without injury. IPK would be the logical lead in a trade with another prospect to boot. Not Hughes.

What I find most hypocritical in the whole thing is that this is the same cadre of reporters who were weeping bitterly when Joe Girardi supposedly held back on them. Ah so I get it. You want the real scoop so you can be the hero, but you don’t mind shading the truth yourselves or even fabricating something as long as it increases your name recognition and the readership of your paper!

And you wonder why most people do not trust reporting to be accurate depictions of the truth

Anyway, I can’t blame our posters as much as I do the liars out there who brought them the “story”. Again, if Manaya’s excursion turns out to be a red herring, I will fall on my proverbial sword. But until then my caution would be that people should believe nothing that they read and only half of what they see!

What a pathetic attempt at sarcasm, Peter Abraham. Could you show your bias any more? At least your on the Red Sox side!!

… those two things would be pretty high on my list too. there’s been some talk of putting a cape league team in wellfleet down near the harbor. that would be more than awesome.
see you and your wife in june.

’twas an important play by a historic player – set up the rest of the inning.

And then there are nuances of this play that as a fan, I’d like to know the baseball player/coach/manager perspectives on. should Beltre have gone for a DP in that situation? did Jeter perhaps break for home to distract Beltre from the DP opportunity, or was he just running on contact? etc.

you’re not the only one who omitted it. i didn’t see it in the NY Times or ESPN articles on the game – which instead described the rap songs playing in the clubhouse and Ichiro’s beer preferences!

The way inside baseball gets omitted from article makes me sometime wonder if sportswriters find baseball games boring? are you all playing quarters or using the binoculars to check out cleavage while the game is going on?

It’s just weird – it seems plays like Jeter’s are exactly what articles describing games exist for. Fortunately i was watching and YES did a great job of focussing on it; otherwise i’d never have known about this cool play.
