08:11 AM ET 04.26 | Derek Jeter only wants you to know he had nothing to do with the upcoming biography. The book, The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter, details a Nov. 30 sit-down in which Jeter, his agent Casey Close and Creative Artists Agency attorney Terry Prince met with Brian Cashman, team president Randy Levine and co-owner Hal Steinbrenner to iron out their differences. The Tampa summit lasted four hours, but Jeter stayed for only the first 45 minutes, telling his employers -- especially Cashman -- how angry he was that they had made details of the negotiations public. When Jeter got up to leave the room, Cashman asked the shortstop to sit back down and hear him out. "You said all you wanted was what was fair," the GM told the shortstop. "How much higher do we have to be than the highest offer for it to be fair?"

Okay ... I predict this will be the thread of the day!

Seems logical to me too.

How's the shiny new toy?

Great! And I'm familiarizing myself with my new laptop too! My friend in FL sent me a 4 GB memory stick and I thought I could fit all the stuff I wanted from my old laptop on it, but, no way. I have SO many pictures. I probably should invest in an external hard drive.

External HD is a good idea for multiple reasons. You can transfer large amounts of data and you can also keep a copy to serve as disaster recovery in the event something happens to the laptop.

Wait! There's a Papelbon thread!

Shall we migrate there? Or visit both to see which attracts the feeding frenzy?

I'm staying here. This article isn't as dumb as the Papelbon one.

I saw your comment and I tend to agree.

Do you realize that after 21 games last year, the Sox had the same record they do now?

Does Derek really need to come out with a book right now? Why wouldn't he wait a couple years till he's retired. I mean, it's not like he needs the money.
