• Broadcast cut away from Yankees / Tigers to Rays / Rangers for a good 15 seconds.
• Missed the Tiger at-bat that ended with a great snag in right by Swisher.  (We don’t see the at-bat OR the catch.)
• Wide shot as Fister throws ball three to Granderson, setting up a full-count.  (Tight shot is practically mandatory.)

This is a national broadcast, ladies and gents.  Of a playoff game.  Being watched by millions in two major TV markets.  Get your shit together.

couldn’t agree more. my dad was screaming at the tv when they cut away to the wrong game.

“I remember when I got a call and was told I was traded [to the Yankees in 1974], I actually cried because I liked Kansas City. But coming to the Yankees was the best thing that ever happened to me in my baseball career.” - Lou Piniella

“I always knew this day would come,” Torre said. “Coming back last September for the George Steinbrenner [memorial ceremony] was a great ice-breaker.” - Joe Torre hadn’t put on the No. 6 pinstripe uniform since the night the Indians eliminated the Yankees in the 2007 Division Series.

Hooray, more John Krasinski/Red Sox vs. Alec Baldwin/Yankees! This time, Krasinski tries to get revenge on Baldwin via dog graffiti. As it turns out, though, the joke’s on Jim.

love john’s “gleeful” look when the phone rings.

No Reporting While You’re Reporting! The note above was posted at Fenway Park for the Sox’s home opener against the Yankees this evening. And I find it odd that a team would discourage real time documentation of a press conference that is ALREADY BEING VIDEOTAPED. Who’s the Evil Empire now, fellas?

Derek Jeter’s Mansion by Michael G. Baron on Flickr.

In Tampa, Florida - this is the house, or mansion, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has constructed in a part of Tampa, Florida. It is over 33,000 square feet.

quite the piece of real estate, considering the man’s not home for about seven* months of the year.

*counting october - obviously.

“Brett Weber, Yankee coaching assistant, is back in his seat. No indication that there is any signaling going on.” - @KeithOlbermann

99% sure i sat directly behind this guy when in tampa for the yankees vs. pirates game over a week ago. (aaand might’ve seen some hand signals then, too.)
