O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done...

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has opened every crack, the wild card can't be won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the owners are excreting,
While what comes next, another loss, the White Sox come a-meeting:
    But O heart! heart! heart!
 
      O the bleeding chalks of line,
        Where up on deck my Captain kneels,
        Batting two o nine.

If Jete isn't healthy and Girardi's contract is up, how about the Jetemeister as player-manager next year? Got some good coaches, so you spread out the workload. Run the dugout like a Soviet collective. Got a bunch of aged players, and you can barely distinguish some of the players from their coaches. Lotsa grey hair. Yankees of the world, unite.

I support this motion.

After A-Rod wins his appeal, he and Jeter could be players/co-managers.

They could keep the binder under third base, or make a special white binder that could be used as third base, with another binder under second base, if necessary.

Great idea to cut payroll!!

THE CAPTAIN, Derek Jeter, said...

OK, I'll consider it. Two conditions, however. We go digital with the binder. Second, my bench coach will be a supermodel of my choosing. Maybe all my coaches will be supermodels. That will actually increase payroll, Hal, because the gift baskets just won't be enough.

This is one of the funniest comment threads in IIH history.
