Feb. 17th, 2005 04:36 pmAnd A-Rod is on his own.
The Yankees are not getting involved in the latest chapter of the Everyone Hates A-Rod saga, and Jeter is especially staying the hell out of it. Good for them.
My favorite bit is Jeter's saying, "I'm sure he'll address it." Sounds like he has about as much confidence as I do in the Princess's ability to discern the better part of valor. Too bad the article doesn't mention the look of resigned despair in his eyes as he spoke. *snicker*
In other news, it starts. Pitchers and catchers have reported to Fort Myers and spring training has officially begun. And just so I can kick things off on a totally shallow note: Wade Miller, one of our new pitchers, is hot. I can tell, because this picture of him pitching does not make him look a) mentally challenged, b) grotesquely deformed, or c) constipated. It is extremely rare for a pitcher to not look at least one of the three in action photos. (I have long maintained that it is just plain unfair to take photos of athletes in action, because physical work puts the most alarming expressions on a person's face.) But Miller looks pretty normal. Okay, with maybe the merest touch of constipation, but overall this is not an expression that would be too frightening if you saw it on the street somewhere. Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah: If a pitcher can look normal mid-pitch, then it naturally follows that he's a good-looking guy, period. Or something. This all made more sense before I put it into actual words.
Anywway. Those photos are here, and there are some nice ones of Schill and David Wells, also. I am extra excited about getting to see our new guys; I think the thing I've looked forward to the most is getting to know a bunch of new players. This is so cool.
