Of course he has. Who hasn’t? Derek Jeter’s quest for 3,000 career hits is running up against something you don’t normally see associated with baseball: The clock. Obviously the milestone will be special wherever Jeter ends up doing it, but with four games left on the Yankees homestand and Jeter seven hits away, it’s just [...]

Just announced that Bartolo Colon and Amaury Sanit are on the DL. Chris Dickerson and Hector Noesi are here. Still no lineup yet.
