Derek Jeter wouldn't call it recruiting, but the Yankee captain said Friday night that he has spoken this offseason to CC Sabathia, perhaps the Yanks' most vital free agent target. "He's asked questions about us," Jeter said on the red carpet before the annual fund-raising dinner for Joe Torre's Safe at Home Foundation at Chelsea Piers. "But I'll leave it at that. A private conversation that you have with someone is private. If he wants to talk about it, I'll give him the opportunity to do it first." Jeter said he did not have a ready "sales pitch" about the Yanks for Sabathia, the terrific lefty and this winter's top pitching free agent. Jeter was coy about who called whom, but it sounded like Sabathia called him. "I don't ever try to sell New York," Jeter said.

Does Hank have a policy on the angle at which a player can wear there hat? If so, CC might be in trouble... CC is on the path to the Dark Side, oh well, never liked him anyway and the AL East is definately not like the NL Central....

CC Sabathia [CC]: So, Jeter, have you ever heard of a guy named "Indy1racer?"Derek Jeter [DJ]: Oh, sure. Indy comes around after the games and tosses our salads.CC: I don't like vegetables.DJ: I can see that, but that's not the kind of salads I'm talking about.CC: Ohhhhhhh.

That didn't make any sense. Go get a life and stop harassing little kids(indy).

That did make sense. It didn't make sense to you because you don't know what I'm talking about.

Mind your own business, quim.

Honestly, I never quite understood the palpable amount of homosexuality ever present in virtually every Red Sox fan's mind in regard to Derek Jeter. Enough that is, to comment incessantly in that manner. Out of sight, out of mind. Perhaps these individuals, whom give a bad name to other BoSox fans, should place these emotions back in their closet so they are indeed no longer so tempted to envision such acts.

In keeping with the theme of sayings that have ZERO pertinence to the subject at hand:

A bird in hand is better than two in the bush.

Because it's funny everyone except Yankee fans. By the way, I don't think there are any Red Sox fans on this thread.
