Frankly, the best part was sneaking snippets of the conversations between Jeter and his ex-teammates and players and such. Evidently, Dave Winfield has a gift for Jeter that he's going to give him afterwards ... does it involve gift baskets???
Liked Jorge looking like a little kid getting a picture with Jordan ...
Also, who the hell did Harold Reynolds blow to get front and center like that???
So how was the slobberfest
Very slobbery ... but Jeter's speech was quite heartfelt and a nice antidote.
Also ... well done Hal!
More slobber.
Piss Hands!
I thought the ceremony was short and sweet and low on slobber.. I love when they get the band back together.
Dear Greene-y ... THROW. STRIKES!
I liked Ripken coming up too
Good.
Appropriately a hit.
Nice!
This fella throws easy cheese!
Put a tent on that circus!
What the hell?
Derek huffing and puffing at 2nd base
Damn, I REALLY thought Beltran got that one.
Ummm, that's kind of a creepy story, Paul ...
Oy.
Well, THAT was a load of bollocks.
Weird. Thought THAT one was going further than it did as well. Ball doesn't seem to be carrying as much as I would think on a hot, humid day.
Baaad error!
Oh, so it's one of those games.
Christ. Little leaguers make that catch.
Uh, that should have been an out at home.
Sigh.
Whassup Banterers?! I just turned on the radio for the game - sounds horrible. Let's go Yankees!
Ball Saxbury ...
Most of Royals hits today have been "cheap" hits, bloopers etc.
Line drive in the box score, unfortunately ...
He's out.
Out.
You can't spell BURP ... without URP.
Sigh.
[28] My point was Greene is doing decent job of avoiding their bats, which bodes well for him in terms of his progression.
[32] Shrug. My point is that we're losing 2-0 ...
This is such an URP game ...
[33] Shrug. Sorry for doing some little analysis. Both runs were unearned. That's the story of the Yankees this year. Over and out.
Utterly pathetic offense.
[35] Shrug. Both runs occurred because of lousy control and lack of aggression on Greene's part. Sorry about that.
Blergh, one down.
Now two out.
Ballgame.
