Wow…no Arod photo? Pete, whats going on? LOL
Pinstripes look good on him. Remember when they used to have waist high fences and players would all sign? Those where the good old days.
Jeter’s meet the media is on MLB network
Any word on Jete’s state of the union address? I’d like to watch that one.
Is it just me or does anyone else still not believe Tex is on the team and will be playing 1b for us?
I think I was conditioned so hard this off season that we wouldn’t sign him I haven’t totally come to terms with it.
It’s just starting to hit me that we’re going to have a young star 1b who can hit and field his position well.
that’s a welcome sight, it’s going to be great to see him in a Yankee Uniform, I went to a game in August(old timers weekend) when the Angels were in town and Tex hit a Grand Slam to put the Angels ahead I think in the 8th inning and at that point never thought he’d be a Yankee by winter(thank goodness Nady/others put on like 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th
)
woah. lol
i love it when jeter give props to whoever the champions are. when i hear the mets trash talking about the phillies now i say i hope everybody craps all over them when or if they are the champions.
if you’re going to challenge for a championship, you have to start by respecting the champions.
Is Jeter doing a full press conference, sitting at a table with a mic or is he just in the field talking to a bunch of reporters?
Drive–
Did you get your ticket invoice. As you know I got mine last night the bummer is that they switched my plan from the SAturday to a weekday plan. Not too happy about that but very happy that I am IN the stadium with good seats.
sitting in the dugout
Laura just turned it on sitting in the dugout
Laura
In the dugout with camera crews. Similiar to Girardi.
ben- they still have it. He must have just been walking by and decided to sign. Than a million people showed up.
What a good guy. That Giambi jersey looks NICE on him.
i think he is in the dugout, there are reporters sitting tight on his right and left so it looks like the dugout.
gayle they switched you too?
Is it on the radio?
Jennifer yes got switched luckily I dont live so far away that weekday games are fine with me although I prefer Saturday.Like I said I am in the stadium with good seats 232B main level and will just try to upgrade plans each year.
awww,man…just turned on MLBN, did I miss Jeter already?
jeter: “baseball as a sport isnt looking too good right now because it seems that every other day thers a story, but like i said, and i cant emphasize it enough, everybody wasnt doing it (shook his head with emphasis) thats the thing that i think its the most irritating, its frustrating when you sitting around and you’re watching tv and youre listening to people say, ‘well, its the steroid era, everybody was doing it.’ ”
“Thats not true, everybody was not doing it.”
“yeah there was alot of people doing it, alot of big names that have been accused and allegedly did this or did that, but everybody wasnt doing it.”
Jeter on YES, now
“i think alot of people really need to grasp on to that , you know, there’s alot of guys who played hard, and did things the right way.
“its unfortunate that people make mistakes, but the guys who have made mistakes have admitted they’ve made mistakes and now its time to move on.”
Back to Henry saying he wants a salary cap, of course he does because a salary cap greatly benefits the owners and puts more money in their pockets!!
Questin to all.
What player do you think in sports would have made the hall of fame if it wasnt for a career ending injury or career with injuries?
my picks
Mattingly
Bo Jackson
Bernard King
Brien Taylor. To this day, the best pitching prospect I have ever seen at the high school level.
Billy Sims
Jeter is the man……He gave the media lions nothing!!!
“my job isn’t to overanalyze my viewers”
Jeter is genius
can u imagine, cole hammels did the same thing and broke his left hand in a bar fight.
hammels healed, taylor’s didnt.
that guy had some sick strikout ratios.
gayle- did you try speaking to anyone at the Yankees. It seems a lot of people who had weekend plans, were offered weekday packages. This royally stinks! I just would like to know who I could direct my friend to contract.
Ron Harper
Terrell Davis
where the hell is the jeter interview?
Here’s how good Brien Taylor was…..
Think of David Price with a more fluid motion and better command.
95-97, easy gas, knee buckling curve ball and a great presence on the mound.
He was special. A rotten shame, while defending his brother, he tore his shoulder up in a bar fight.
Just what baseball needs: clean young players, who play the game right, in a big market and who will make a big impression on the fans, especially the kids. I can envision CC having a very solid year, going deep into games and being a dominator. I also see Teixeira becoming Girardi’s guy, just like Jeter was Torre’s guy.
In a big, but quiet way, IMO, Teixeira is the future of the Yankees, after Jeter and in spite of Alex. Throw in a seemingly world class good guy like CC Sabathia (and a possibly reformed, less surly AJ Burnett) and here’s hoping that the 2009 Yankees have enough talent and good-guy quotient to overcome whatever the Dark Cloud (A-Rod) comes out with next.
Nomar?
mlb host guy just called jeter, ‘the captain of baseball’
Does Doc Gooden count?
Good job Jeets
“mlb host guy just called jeter, ‘the captain of baseball’”
I can’t find an emoticon that represents a beaming smile of pride…
Juan Gonzales?
Read an article about Taylor- it was a fight in a trailer, not a bar fight…
Jennifer
I called the relocation office this morning was on hold for 45 minutes than finally spoke to someone. here is the bottom line I really had no choice but to except it as if I went into the pool they cant promise anything.
They changed the plans so much this year that they took away weekend availabilities and gave some weekend games to larger plans ie the 20 game plan and 41 game plan.
I was worried about losing my seniority 12/2004 because they changed my plan and they assured me that I still keep the same seniority no matter what plan.
Overall was I happy with the experience on how they handled this NO. I understand that they had too many season ticket holders to deal with over 32K. They also eliminated some of the previous plans, changed others. In addition it has taken them 5 months to deal with this and they are not finished yet. You know who I REALLY feel sorry for single game ticket purchasers not sure there is really much available out there for those people.
Am I in the stadium and actually able to go to 12 games this year YES.

“Back to Henry saying he wants a salary cap, of course he does because a salary cap greatly benefits the owners and puts more money in their pockets!!”
True enough, but Henry’s pockets are fine. He’s generally has one of the game’s 5 highest payrolls and has been making money. Plus his team has been reasonably successful since he and his gang bought the team.
Jeter better never do anything bad because MLB and the rest of the free world might crumble.
Len Bias
How that pitcher for Cleveland i believe in the 40/50’s that hurt his arm after only a couple years. I believe he just passed away last year.
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2.....en_taylor/
decent read on taylor
Not an injury, but the late Thurman Munson
Fred Lynn
Thanks gayle.
“yeah there was alot of people doing it, alot of big names that have been accused and allegedly did this or did that, but everybody wasnt doing it.”
I don’t think that fans think that everyone was doing it. I most certainly don’t. I do, however, think that most of the Texas Rangers were doing it.
SJ, would the yankees have won the WS in 2001. If Brian Taylor became what he could had become. I wonder how long the dynasty would have remained longer if brian taylor had succeeded.
S.o.S -
Herb Score?
Hank Gathers
Thanks rodg. Could he have made it?
Which guy called Jeter the Captain of Baseball?
That’s High Praise indeed. Sounds good to me.
Would other teams’ players agree?
SJ – many retired players of the 1970s claim that Gil Patterson was the best pitching prospect they had ever seen, before Gabe Paul ordered him to pitch winter ball and he hurt his arm.
Kepner wrote a piece about it in 2006. Some quotes from respectable players that claimed Patterson could’ve been one of the great Yankee pitchers.
Put’him up there with Brien Taylor – another potential arm snuffed out.
Tex is looking good in that uniform!
i think john henry looked at the overflowing crowd at the trainers room and had a sudden vision of being out of the pennant race by august and started thinking about the price tag to replace ortiz, lowell, drew, beckett, etc. and then started thinking about a salary cap.
it was just the pretty boy host on mlb, not vasgersion but the other one.
Hi!
It looks great!
