Jeets Does What Captains Do

After the lifeless 0-3 start, which I personally think looks worse on paper than in reality after a couple of cookies simply didn't crumble the Yankees way, Captain Derek Jeter himself was in great form going 4-4 and also taking one for the team by laying down a sac bunt.  Vintage DJ right there.  Team is down to start the season?  I'll just go 4-4.  Make it look easy while I'm doing it.  In my mind, there's just no way a guy like Derek Jeter is letting the Yankees start 0-4.  Not on his watch.  That's something Jason Varitek would let happen.  Anyway, just like that, win 1 is in the books.  Nova was a bulldog out there and we only have 113 to go before we start breaking our own records.

Some Yanks are off to slow starts with the bats, hitting the ball hard but right at people.  Tonight that could change with a Major League rookie taking the hill for the O's.  Freddy will get his first chance after patiently waiting and I'm going to go out on a limb and bet he's lights out.  Russ Martin accused Robert Andino of stealing signs off second.  Lets see if this heats up tonight as well.

On another note, how much does Buck Showalter HATE losing to the Yankees?  Guy just sits there seething. He really couldn't make it more obvious he doesn't want to manage against the Yanks just knowing the YES guys are chatting it up about him in the booth after his thick comments about other peoples ballparks or something.
