Ohh Mother

By Frank Solares

Derek Jeter has always made his mother proud and today he demostrated why he is still an elite baseball player and the Captain of the greatest franchise in the world.

DJ had 4 hits two bloops and two blasts, all while scoring two runs and getting three RBI.

Let's not start his retirement party yet!

The Captain is not back he never went anywhere, dude faces the media and always stands up.

12 runs
16 hits
4 errors oops

CC wins his 3rd victory and the Lakers lose. Great Sunday!

Ohh by the way the Yankees win and are still in first place.

Jeter Manifesto

By Frank Solares

Jeter Manifesto


I have been called a right wing nut job, a left wing sympathizer, Derek Jeter’s bitch and a Yankee Homer. Depending who is telling the story they are all telling the truth. I put my fandom one leg at a time and bleed Kentucky blue, Niner Scarlet, Penguin Black and Yellow, Blazer Red and Black and Yankee Dark Blue. Yet despite that this year I have not been the over zealous or a crazed Yankee fan self.

I think at tender age of 30 I have mellowed, or it could be that these past months I have seen my 49ers struggled and under achieve, my Penguins lost Crosby and Gino, my Blazers choked away two games to an inferior, less talented, over rated, poor excuse of a team. But I digress, this year I will not give up on the Yankees.

Yes Jeter is 36 and showing his age, but who else do you want to play short? Phil Rizzuto is not walking through that door, and not one player is beating down the door in the Minors to replace him. Look at Nunez today, two errors and he is a “superior short stop” according to insert “writer” here, so tell me please who is going to replace him.

Do you want Reyes? Do you want to trade the Farm for Hanley Ramirez? No lets go get Tulo out of Colorado! Lets over pay for Jimmy Rollins! NOT ME!

I need all you Yankee fans that started watching Baseball in 96 to stop the madness. No one cares you are spoiled, entitled and over critical but stop the maddness.

BUT COME ON! Stop listening to the pundits and talking heads. Not one Yankee beat writer is a die hard Yankee fan, and despite the fact that they cover the team they get paid to piss people off. They make more money and sell more News papers when they trash the Yankees.

Watch ESPN, they are the greatest thing on Television, I rather never see Television again than lose ESPN, if I had a choice between never having an alcoholic beverage or never watching ESPN again I would throw out my liquor. That said, they are all paid to Hate the Yankees, they get better ratings when they trash any member of the Yankee family and the Team. DON’T Spread the Hate.

You can all go ahead, I am not giving up on my Captain, he is 47 hits away from 3000, the Yankees have him signed for 3 more years and you never here a bad thing come out of his mouth. He is never in trouble and could never be accused of using PED’s. When he is injured or beat up he never says a word, he keeps playing.

We owe him another bad year, especially after the great years he has given us, and through out the years he gave us 5 rings and 15 magical years. Stop trashing my shortstop, only because he started the year off in a little slump. THE WHOLE Team is in a Slump. Not 1 starter is hitting over 300 and we are in first place.

This is a man that will be the first Yankee to get to 3000, the all time hit king among all shortstops and he is the BEST postseason hitter in the HISTORY of the GAME. I don’t care that he had more chances and more games in the postseason, So did Many Ramirez and every one at the 4 letter network use to get an orgasm every time the mentioned his name.

Give up on my captain all you want. Boo him for the rest of his Yankee career, trash him and tweet bad things about him.

When it is all said and done, he will go down as the Greatest Yankee leader,and will retire the only shortstop in MLB history and only Yankee to achieve 3000 hits.
