A matchup of old friends (with video)

In the name of fairness — after posting video of a Derek Jeter strikeout this morning — here’s a Derek Jeter single. It came in his fourth at-bat against Andy Pettitte this morning, the one hit in Jeter’s 1-for-5 day against his old friend (might have been 1-for-6, but I’m willing to give him a walk in the final plate appearance).
“But it’s simulated, so it’s not that big of a deal,” Pettitte said. “It was a lot stranger when I was pitching for the Astros and came over here to pitch against them.”
In 2005, Pettitte came to Tampa to face Jeter and the rest of his long-time teammates in a spring training game. Jeter tripled off Pettitte that day, and Pettitte said he still hears about it all the time. Jeter made sure the writers knew about it this morning.
“When we’re old and stuff and we come back for Old Timers Day, I’ll probably face him again,” Jeter said back in 2005.
Turns out, they didn’t have to wait that long.

By the way, Pettitte pitched three innings this morning. The other hitters were Hector Rabago and Casey Stevenson, up from minor league camp. Pettitte said he expects to pitch in a game next week.
“I felt good,” Pettitte said. “I didn’t feel like I was quite as sharp as the last time out as far as the command of my fastball, but everything else felt pretty good.”

How is he surprised? He told everyone during the winter they were going to operate differently
================
He doesn’t think Hal has stopped spending.
————————
He hasn’t been paying attention.

Could be in denial.
Another classic: Cat Stevens (anyone remember him?)

mick…..I flew into the city for this concert and Game 1 of the WS. I regret not making arraignments to meet-up with Erica that night as she too was at The Garden that evening. I had to split during the Springsteen / Billy Joel closing because I had to catch the last train back to Westchester from Grand Central. The place went stone silent when Simon started to play that song. Bonnie Raitt was mind blowing that night, stole the show I believe. Doreen, find your clubs and maybe we can make that round happen….
Pat, I have no clubs. I swing over the tee. I am not teachable!ll LOL
mick, that Cat Stevens song is one of my favorites.

She came by once. I think it was during the season. I might be wrong but I think she was traveling.

Flores.
Do the Mets even have a Flores. I know we do.
—
Wilmer Flores, 3B prospect. I proposed trading for him during the offseason. Looks kind of prescient now…
Anyone else see Joba fetching us anything in a deal?

Being right is a good thing.
why would any team want to give us their good prospects?

nope
Flores can hit but like our Flores the issue is where he will be able to play
i could see the royals thinking joba is a starter
“i could see the royals thinking joba is a starter”
dave eiland might not seeing that
the new cba is designed to kill the yankees and bring parity.
that hal pushed for it had his dad rolling over..
blake – You mean for the Mets not for the Yanks re: Flores’ playing time?
i hear eiland wants to rehab aj
either rivera or diaz has to go…both if necc.
would bring zoilo musty and mesa to big club
get rid of johnson too
try musty at 1st tmw.
I will be live blogging the USA game. And by ‘live blogging’ I mean posting in the comments section of Chad’s blog.
I will mostly be commenting on Giancarlo lol.. and maybe the Mets (thought I’m afraid to mention them since the ad on the side of my screen is advertising Mets season tickets).
These games haven’t look that full, attendance wise, for any of the games.

The Taiwan game in Taiwan, and the Japanese games in Japan were pretty full. I think the Dominican Republic and PR games seemed to have a nice crowd.
We’ve hit R.A. Dickey pretty well.. but I do wonder how he’ll fair with the Jays. I think he’ll still put together a nice season.

As long as his knuckler is knuckling he’ll be unhittable as usual. AL or NL means nothing when that angry knuckler is hoppin.
I thought the Japan games looked pretty middling as far as crowds. I dunno, maybe I just caught an early game or late innings? The upper decks seemed really empty. I wonder what the numbers looked like, I wouldn’t doubt they still sold a lot of tickets.
JF – I’m imagining some of the young players in our division seeing that for the first time lol… I dunno if he’ll get 20 games again but I’d expect him to log at least 15-18 wins.
I don’t like the rules about pitching limits in the WBC.
Dang… the Shame stream of conscious will continue over here
