I still haven’t seen him go back on a bal in the air and catch it without breaking into a cold seat.

For Jeter to get to 4,000 it’ll take two more years as SS followed by 4-6 years as a DH.

86, actually Alex has looked better on them this season. Thank the infield instructor for that. I know his name was mentioned last week, just cant remember what it is right now. I’m SO glad to see Wang finally get a win, he deserved it. The Mets weren’t chasing his low pitches, but he still got through the lineup.. It was good to see.

He did throw out the first pitch last night.

Kinda disappointed that ESPN didn’t show the first overall draft pick of the NHL draft NYI John Tavares!.. Damn them!

I can’t stand when people talk about moving Jeter off SS. For the last year and a half he’s been average defensively. This year he’s been a bit above average. It’s just so premature to even think about moving him from SS. If he regresses back to 2005-2007 levels of defense then I’ll listen.

Steve Phillips suggesting that Jeter can get to 4K hits last night. Morgan did make an interesting point though. He disagreed with Phillips, but not for the thought of him getting there. Joe said that the only way he could get there is if he was moved to another position. He used Cincy moving Rose to 1st so he could just keep on hitting as a good example. They then started a conversation about moving Jeter to another position and his overall longevity. I actually enjoyed hearing them go back and forth over that. It was interesting.

A couple of thoughts on your list of great Yankees.

We are very fortunate to have seen some of the greats play in our lifetime.

Also it also shows the media bias that the Yankees buy all their talent.

That Alex to CF stuff was comically absurd. Has he ever seen Alex on a fly ball? He looks like a giraffe on roller skates! One position change that will NEVER happen is Alex to the OF.

Costas and Kaat is a terrific listen. I actually kinda like Kruk, though.

living out of market and not willing to spend for the baseball package, I’ll take what I can get…but SJ, you’re dead on about ESPN’s broadcasters…and Coach, you’re right about MLB Networks game coverage. I will have to say though, that I haven’t been much of a fan of anything else on MLB network…

On the lineup discussions, move Cano out of the 5 hole is probably a smart move, but I wouldn’t recommend blowing up the lineup completely as some have suggested, especially now that they have warmed quite a bit. I imagine, or would hope, that we’ll see either Posada or Matsui in the 5 spot with Cano 6th or 7th now that Godzilla is back…
