Someone wake me when Derek Jeter BREAKS the Yankees' hits record. I mean, really, tying Lou Gehrig? Who doesn't do that every day? I probably tied two of Lou's records just waking up this morning.
Seriously, I'm more interested in Jeter breaking the record tomorrow against the O's. And Jeter is probably more interested in winning the World Series. Probably. No doubt he is.
Jeter 2009: .330, 186 H, 97 R, 62 RBI, 25 SB - MVP?
Rough projections: .310 BA, 3,500 hits, 270 HRs, 1,300 RBIs, 400 SBs - Hall of Fame, of course. Unanimous?

Of course, it didn't take Joba long to fall behind, again, but the Yanks are the Yanks and being down a few runs doesn't seem to be that big a deal.
More frustrating was the ninth. No Mo. No Phil Hughes, so we go to Brian Bruney, who started shakey, but got Longoria and the enormously over-rated Pat Burrell on fly outs ... then got yanked?
WTF?
WTF in 1,000-point type. So frustrating to watch. Quickly rising up my list of "Most Infuriating Things" is Joe Girardi's very bustly walk to the mound when he's making a pitching change, as if he's trying to project confidence in his bizarre decisions. The more confusing the decision, the more bustly the walk.
I'm saying it right now: Yankees win the WS in 5 games against the Cardinals. Take that Bob Gibson.
