Yanks to DL Jeter?

This guy has to be protected from himself, DL HIM!!!

Better to DL him now than maybe lose him for a much longer period later in the season because he tried to come back too early from his operation. An ounce of prevntion is worth a pound of cure, eh?

So do it. The choice should not be his. The guy has not run full speed in a game yet.

I hear you, but this setback isn't a structural thing, its a swelling/stiffness issue
With the shot, he should be fine....and that stiffness feeling may never go away

Its a day to day thing and honestly, if he isn't in the opening day lineup -even if he's just the dh- with all the injuries we've had......and the lack of cash addressing the holes.......many Yankee fans might commit hari kari

could care less. And, frankly, I hope he never plays again.

Why do (most) Yankee fans hate Arod so much? And don't tell me it's the steroid thing, they hated him from day one(in a Yankee uniform)

If he needs to be on the DL then do it. They don't know if he'll be ready for opening day but the way things look and feel around here (wintery) it doesn't look we'll even be playing on April 1st.

Not true. Some maybe, but most were happy he put on the pinstripes initially. It's more about who he turned out to be.

It starts with that fake surly look he has when he bats. Look, he is the kind of guy you would hate if he worked in any office in the Country. It is his natural gift. He is a phony from the beginning, nothing real about him. That is why. A pompous, self serving you name it from there....

Not me. I actually have defended him in the past. But enough lying is enough. Hae is a prima dona phony and deserves whatever just desserts his narcisstic rearend gets.

(1) Bashing Jeter in S.I. when they were suppossed to be friends.
(2) Asking for his own kiosks to sell A Rod merch when negotiating with the Mets.
(3) After the running across the mound incident asking "Who the hell is he?" about the pitcher as if being a rookie means he somehow doesn't deserve an opinion.
(4) Kissing himself in a **** mirror in a magazine 2 days after being outed for roids.
Yelling at the kid during a pop fly
(5) GETTING 1 **** rbi IN THE PLAYOFFS BETWEEN GAME 4 OF THE ALCS IN 2004 AND 2008.
Hows that?

He's a real piece of work. All those things get under one's skin.

Good answer. Covers it . I guess it comes down to he thinks he is better than he is. And above it all.

Simply put, he's weak.

I think that Yankees fans have always had a difficult time getting behind A-Rod because his insecurity always made him emotionally and mentally weak. Turning to steroids was just a severe symptom of the narcissism that the Yankees fans sensed all along.

Totally agree. Jeter is going to try to play no matter what. Even if his ankle is structurally sound, the discomfort he's feeling is going to cause him to compensate and risk injuring the other leg. Let him start the season on the DL and come back 100 percent.

And from Day one - he was paid WAY to much money to even come to NY. He's a narcissistic, myopic putz

Left out

(6) Cheating on his wife with strippers and not having the decency to have the pig take a seperate cab and spare his wife the embarrassment of the front page. I'm pretty sure he could have afforded a 2nd cab and have her enter the hotel 10 or 15minutes after him.

I'm afraid he was always that way - it just got uncovered more with the media in NY....

Best to send Jeter to the glue factory at this point.
