Yanks are finished. I would rather see a new President and have the Yanks go home after this series. Get will Derek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeter was born and raised in Michigan.

But back to important stuff — did the Tigers win?

[OrioleFan]

I was wondering, during the series with the Orioles, if there was something more than a ankle sprain going on - I assume it was the same ankle as I didn’t see the game last night. Jeter is a gamer. Hope he recovers fully.

I was a lifelong Yankees fan, but became sick of the farce over the past decade. I rooted for the Orioles to beat them, and win the Series for Buck Showalter, who as Yankees manager through 1995 built that team and deserved to win the ring the following year. The Yankees are just the best team money can buy and I am tired of it. $190 million payroll vs. Baltimore's $75 million. that's 2.5 times. Absurd. And it also makes the team dull and listless, with aging superstars worth tens of millions apiece, who really could't care less if they won again. Team like the Nats and A's and Orioles are far more thrilling to watch, with young players exploding with enthusiasm.

However, I wish Jeter well, as he has always been a class act.

Do people actually root for the Yankees? I’ve never met a Yankee fan; even my New York friends are all Mets fans. Seems kind of like cheering for The Galactic Empire.

Go Tigers!

As a Red Sox fan I hate the Yankees, and hope they lose. However I have always had great respect for Jeter and the way he plays the game. Very sorry to see him get this sort of injury. You wonder if at his age this will be the end of his career.

Mariano and Jeter 2 vets suffering catastrophic injuries in the same year.

[Larry Lucido]

Jeter should have listened to George Costanza. It’s all physics.

One OUSTANDING ballplayer, Derek Jeter! One of the greatest ever to play the game. Hopefully, he comes back next year and has another terrific year.

GO TIGERS!

(what a game last night/this morning!)

If the Yankees had won the game, it would have been a Pyrrhic victory because of the injury to Derek Jeter. Instead they got a Pyrrhic defeat.
