A reasoned Jeterian response to the post-game question posed by Chris Rose about whether he has his GPS programmed for the Canyon of Heroes


It's not easy, slaughtering a jubilant moment in front of 60,000 people and a 20 million national TV audience, but Chris Rose stepped up to the plate.
He asked Jeter if he has his car GPS programed for the Canyon of Heroes.


Jeet hemmed and hawed, which is sad. Here's what he should have said.

"Actually, no, Chris. Generally, we stand on floats, so they don't expect us to navigate. I suppose because I'm captain, they might want me to drive. I've been to the Canyon of Heroes a few times, so I think I could get there. Driving could be tricky, but generally, what I would do is follow the people up front.

"You could ask them if they have a GPS programmed for the Canyon. That would be more appropriate. Me. I don't think I will. I bet Joe will, but that's Joe."

The smart players didn't bother to respond to the questions.

Georgie, Mariano and Joe just yelled.

Bizarre. It was more Charlie Rose than Chris. This guy must be hoping to take over "Fresh Air" on NPR someday.

Congratulations, Yankee fans. Looking back, the two biggest factors from this foreign outpost:

1. SuperFrankenstein's return to his old stomping grounds provided a big psychic boost.

2. When the Phils left Miguel Cairo off the World Series roster, the rest was just a formality.

How the Yankees can win with no middle relief and a defensive outfield of Damon, Cabrera and Swisher is a matter for the sabrematricians to ponder all winter.

Without question my superstition and paranoia won this series.

Youre welcome, dummies.

Chris Rose??? Terry Gross will eventually die on the air of Fresh Air, which will then leave the air permanently.
