Jeter and A-Rod uncertain for tomorrow

Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are day-to-day, and Joe Girardi isn’t sure he’ll have either one for tomorrow’s series finale.
Rodriguez’s sore thumb was worse than usual after today’s first game, and that kept him from playing the second. Jeter’s right knee became so sore in between games, that he was sent for x-rays. Those ultimately came back negative.
“We iced it in between games and then afterward, it swelled up,” Jeter said. “It became a challenge. You guys asked between games, and when I told you I was fine, I really was fine. It was really bizarre to be honest with you.”
Jeter was hit by a pitch at the top of the right knee cap, and he hobbled around the plate for a while, but he ultimately finished the first game. When he talked to the media between games, he didn’t even have it iced and quickly dismissed questions about whether he would be able to play. He was in the lineup until becoming a late scratch.
“I don’t know if we’ll have either one of them tomorrow,” Girardi said.
I’m not worried about them being available for Boston, but more their long-term condition……
Ledger_Yankees Granderson says the Yankees are done fighting over 9/8 makeup game. Seems content that O’s agree to 1 pm game. #nyy
Trying to figure out exactly Jeter meant “It was really bizarre to be honest with you.” Did he mean it was bizarre to tell the writers the truth, or was the change in health the bizarre part?

Thank God for Chavez and Nunez. Both have filled in admirably when called upon. I really don’t miss Ramiro Pena, though he was a great kid.
Who knows, next season, we may not miss Cervelli if Montero actually gets to don pinstripes for the big club.
LOL @ GB! I thought the same thing.
Red Sux have injuries too, going to Beantown (Tues.) others (Chavez and Nunez) will need to step up so we give the Sux a good battle. Time to get some W’s against the Sux.
Oh GB, just thought you should know, Simon Jr. is 10 mo, in a couple days. He’s got the speed-crawling steal of 2B down pat, and is just about ready to run to 3rd if he’s given the green light.
Right on schedule as promised as starting 2B in 2030, as his throws are accurate.
hi GB. Thanks for answering my question. I agree that Colon may get the #2 spot, the rest being variable. just can’t trust AJ anymore. The Vernon Wells trade by Toronto shows me that any contract can be traded, so we’ll see if AJ is still around next season. My guess is he stays.

On the last post, any time, Simon. Maybe moving Burnett would be best, but, money-wise and talent-wise, the only one that matches up with is Zambrano, and I doubt that’s a headache Cashman and Girardi want or need. Montero will have Posada’s spot next year, I’d guess. unless they can add Cervelli as a final piece in a trade, I think he stays.
Of Colon and Garcia, I think they keep Colon and offer Garcia arbitration and tell him they’d like him in the pen…for the extra draft pick.
hey, great news, Simon. How’s his hands? Does he grab everything coming his way? Gotta have fast hands at 2nd. Going first to third is important. Gets the footwork down to turn the DP….fingering everything and drawing on walls with crayons.
Hope Mrs. Templar is doing well. Congrats again on the little 2nd baseman.
“Right on schedule as promised as starting 2B in 2030, as his throws are accurate.”
I’ll bet he’s as tall as the Sox starting 2B right now.
Good night all.
Time for bed folks – Hope everyone has a great night. I do appreciate the positive attitude…
Man it is just a joy to watch Nova develop before our eyes. I expected a lot more ups and downas with the kid, considering he’s a rook.
It’s just a shame Noesi wasn’t allowed to maintain innings. Pitching, it’s sometimes hard to tell those two apart. A complet arsenal and 95 mph FBs. And they’re getting better. Woah
hey Mainesoxfan
I said it on an earlier post. But it’s a pleasure to have you around, even if you root for the bad guys.
Mrs. Templar is doing fine. Unlike Simon, she saves lives. Jr’s hands are good, reflexes are great.
I see Colon kept as well, but Freddy will probably explore other options. Can’t say I blame him, as he’s always a warrior out there and deserves a starting gig.
Two last points for the night:
1. Do you think any of the kids get a chance to make the rotation next year?
2. IPK has not disappointed me. I knew that kid had the talent to be a #2 or #3 starter.
Simon, I think that Noesi gets one spot and depending on what they do with Colon/Burnett, Warren gets the other spot. Don’t see much out there on the FA market and want no part of wandy Rodriguez or Zambrano.
Kennedy has been a real shocker…much like Nova. Has the talent, but, WOW! has he developed fast, regardless of what league he’s in.
A real shame that the yankees can’t develop pitchers, huh?
LOL
