The Yankees Are Better Than You And Also Have Nicer Boobs

The Yankees have hit upon a solution to Derek Jeter’s chronic grounding into a double play, which is to make sure absolutely no one is on base when he comes up.

Joe Girardi is considering putting The Captain at the top of the order, thus ensuring slightly fewer rally-killing GIDPs at critical moments.

Jeter swears it is fine, really, he’s not mad.

“It’s exactly the same unless somebody’s on base,” Jeter said. “Some particular inning whoever is hitting ninth leads off and gets on base, then it’s back to hitting second.”

Girardi liked what he saw earlier in spring training when Damon batted second so catcher Jorge Posada, who is coming back from right shoulder surgery, could hit first and get extra at-bats.

Shortly thereafter, he headed towards A-Rod’s padded room with a switch and an angry look in his eye.
