on ESPN, they are talking seriously about the confidence of horses.

And because I never get tired of sports writers ripping Jeter, especially with regard to A-Rod: Jeter's no MVP.

All the Teflon shortstop had to do, at any point in the season, was to let it be known that he was on A-Rod's side. The rest of the Yankees, and then the public, would no doubt have followed suit. A few words of support to the media would probably have done the trick[.]

But the Yankee captain couldn't bring himself to do that. By his silence, by his body language, he sent the unspoken message that he had no interest in helping A-Rod out of his funk. Go ahead and boo him, go ahead and rip him in the press, Jeter seemed to be saying. I don't like him any more than you do.

. . . .Whatever sin A-Rod committed against Jeter, he has more than paid penance for it. Jeter is no one's MVP until he finds a way not just to accept A-Rod, but also to help him. That's what leaders do.

Yup, yup. Now watch him win the MVP. And me without my Jeter Swallows shirt.

Is there any interest in rips of games from the Japan All Star Series? An exhibition and two of the five games have been played, with a tie (the exhibition) and two MLB wins. They'll play three more games and the first team to three wins is considered the series winner. The MLB team is pretty NL heavy with the likes of Andruw Jones, David Wright, Bronson Arroyo, Jose Reyes, and Ryan Howard. The production quality of the game broadcasts is crap, hilariously, but it's baseball ^_~
