The Captain Comes Up Small

by your's truly...

A lot has been made by the media, Mike Francesca in particular, that Derek Jeter needs to step up, defend A-Rod, and tell the fans to simma'. I haven't taken a particularly strong stance about this until now. Yesterday, Derek Jeter, the Captain, the leader of the team, the man with the 4 rings, looked very small.

The play should have been an innocuous one. The Yankees were already getting crushed; the game was all but over. The Yankees were trailing 9-2 in the 6th when Jay Gibbons hit a harmless pop-up. Alex Rodriguez was settled under it. Derek Jeter was moving to his right and calling for the ball. The ball started to settle in A-Rod's glove and Jeter bumped into him, causing the ball to pop out. Jeter was charged with an error for impeding the play.

Jeter was quoted as saying "he said you got it? I thought he was kidding. I started to run off the field". Jeter did in fact start to run off, which at the time made me think WTF? Why isn't he picking up the ball? He also had an icy glare on his face as he looked back at A-Rod. A run came in and then Fernando Tatis, who only seems to homer against the Yankees, bashed one out to finish the scoring.

Jeter was shocked to learn he had been charged with the error. He sloughed it off to reporters, but then was seen in the hallway campaigning the official scorer to change the ruling. Now we know that A-Rod made comments to Esquire magazine several years ago downplaying Jeter's importance to the Yankees. And we know that A-Rod has a tendency to say too much to the press and to make too many excuses (or excuses that aren't excuses - "I was hurt, but I'm not going to tell you what it was").

All that being said it's time for Jeter to step up. If the Yankees are to not just win the division, but have any chance of making the playoffs, the Yankees need the real A-Rod. Not the robotic, average looking guy that has been here for most of this year. Jeter needs to put his own feelings aside and do what's best for the ball club. If he doesn't the team will suffer and so will his well preserved reputation.

You have something against someone who expresses their opinion without using the words azzpipe and gumshoot, and typing in all caps?

Captain Crunch has become pathetically self-absorbed. He needs to go. Him and da yankee Clippard for runlevys. Get it done, Cashman! ;)

I'm sorry MM, I usually agree with most of your points, but I'm gonna have to disagree here. I don't get it, what does Jeter need to do to get A-Rod going?

She's a hottie! Rachelle Leah, UFC Ring Girl.

And something said publicly would get A-Rod going? still don't get it. Do you think there is a tension between the two and showing some support publicly would eleviate that.

Either way, they ALL need to step it up a notch or 10! :rock:

Is that true?? Who put their name behind that story??

I would be very dissapointed if that is true, I have been sniffing that dudes jock for way too long for him to turn into a bitch...

I think Arod did him a little dirty back in the day, and I dont need Jeter to be his bestest buddy or defender or any of that sh*t, but at least be a man, and dont turn into a little bitch.....
