#2 Gets 1 of only 3 Hits in Bottom of 9th-Yankees Lose 1-0

Do the Yankees have a chance to make the play-offs?  Hah, don't make me laugh my head off, NO WAY.  Goes to show top $ payroll doesn't buy you a winning team.  Or as the "Countess" on NYC housewives likes to say "Money doesn't buy you class."  Still, the reason for seeing the Yanks play is OUR Captain, Derek Jeter, in his final season.  Last night, the Yankees were shut out 1-0 by the Kansas City Royals.  And, while the Yankees had only 3 hits on the board, Jeter got a single in the bottom of the 9th with 1 out; giving us hope for 2 in a row walk off wins.  Unfortunately, that's not what happened.  What else didn't happen is hustling to 1st base on hits by younger players.  Jeter motored with everything he had to 1st with everything he hit.  I thought he was safe on one call made @ 1st.  Joe should have challenged that call.  And, Joe needs to yell at his young, lazy ball players to run like the wind towards 1st & stop pausing at the plate to admire their long balls before moving their feet.  Derek's #2 should be retired at the end of the season.  He will forever be #1 in the hearts of Yankee fans and baseball fans alike.
