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

3 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:29 pm

Very slobbery ... but Jeter's speech was quite heartfelt and a nice antidote.

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:29 pm

Also ... well done Hal!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:30 pm

More slobber.

6 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:38 pm

Piss Hands!

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:41 pm

I thought the ceremony was short and sweet and low on slobber.. I love when they get the band back together.

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:49 pm

Dear Greene-y ... THROW. STRIKES!

9 coleman42   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:52 pm

I liked Ripken coming up too

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:52 pm

Good.

11 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:57 pm

Appropriately a hit.

12 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:58 pm

Nice!

This fella throws easy cheese!

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:58 pm

Put a tent on that circus!

14 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 12:59 pm

What the hell?

15 coleman42   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:00 pm

Derek huffing and puffing at 2nd base

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:00 pm

Damn, I REALLY thought Beltran got that one.

17 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:07 pm

Ummm, that's kind of a creepy story, Paul ...

18 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:14 pm

Oy.

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:15 pm

Well, THAT was a load of bollocks.

20 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:19 pm

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.

21 coleman42   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:33 pm

Baaad error!

22 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:33 pm

Oh, so it's one of those games.

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:34 pm

Christ. Little leaguers make that catch.

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:38 pm

Uh, that should have been an out at home.

Sigh.

25 edoubletrouble   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:38 pm

Whassup Banterers?! I just turned on the radio for the game - sounds horrible. Let's go Yankees!

26 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 1:55 pm

Ball Saxbury ...

27 coleman42   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:00 pm

Most of Royals hits today have been "cheap" hits, bloopers etc.

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:02 pm

Line drive in the box score, unfortunately ...

29 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:04 pm

He's out.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:04 pm

Out.

31 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:12 pm

You can't spell BURP ... without URP.

Sigh.

32 coleman42   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:14 pm

[28] My point was Greene is doing decent job of avoiding their bats, which bodes well for him in terms of his progression.

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:16 pm

[32] Shrug. My point is that we're losing 2-0 ...

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:27 pm

This is such an URP game ...

35 coleman42   ~  Sep 7, 2014 2:59 pm

[33] Shrug. Sorry for doing some little analysis. Both runs were unearned. That's the story of the Yankees this year. Over and out.

36 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 3:09 pm

Utterly pathetic offense.

37 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2014 3:36 pm

[35] Shrug. Both runs occurred because of lousy control and lack of aggression on Greene's part. Sorry about that.

38 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 3:48 pm

Blergh, one down.

39 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 3:49 pm

Now two out.

40 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2014 3:53 pm

Ballgame.
