Whit the Yanks in the middle of a sh-- season at least there's a bright spot. Congrats Derek....

Jeter passes Ruth

That's interesting. Maybe they'll finish tied.


I never understood the overrated label for Jeter. He's been a great ballplayer his whole career.

Congrats DJ!!! and yeah this is a 'lost' season for the Yankees, but IMO this is the best thing that could have happened to this old team

I don't know if it's the "best" thing but it was certainly bound to happen. I think this was the worst case scenario coming into the season, but one that Cashman was prepared to deal with. Over the next 2 years, the Yanks will have a ton of cash coming off the books and a bunch of young pitchers ready for the bigs. This will allow them to keep around those that are going to succeed and have the chips to make deals- no one knows who will become what, at this point. If they spend their money wisely, ie not a seven year deal for Teixiera or something like that, it will set them up to be very successful in the next 5-7 years. It sucks now, but at least they kept it interesting until September. I'm still watching (well, not right now because they are on a West Coast roadtrip and the games don't start until 10) and still hoping they can close the Stadium out with a W.
