No More Wonderful Prizes For Sleeping With Derek Jeter

Several weeks ago, we reported on the oft-heard rumor that if you are lucky enough to catch the Yankee shortstop  Derek Jeter's penis and put it inside you, you would go home the next morning with a gifting suite worth of goodies. (Including but not limited to a signed baseball! How very Freudian.) The best part of all? There wasn't a cap on how many times you could pull the one-night-stand move on Mr. Jeter, since he apparently has the memory of a goldfish when it comes to the women he's bedded.

Sorry ladies, but your free ride is officially over.

Sleep with Derek Jeter, Win Fabulous Prizes

While our comment board is going crazy (almost as crazy as that investment banker) over whether or not a man should pay for dinner if its unclear whether or not he'll be getting some action later in the evening, there's one man who still abides by those traditional forms of courtesy. You know, like paying a woman after sex--but not actually paying her, because that would be gross--but paying her with free stuff.

That man is Derek Jeter.

For New Yorkers, a Week of Big Surprises

Sometimes we like to imagine what life would be like if everything had turned out differently—if everything we’d wished for this week had actually come true.  We like to imagine, for instance, that we’d be in line for the new iPhone 5 and that it would be so shiny and magical that it wouldn’t matter that we still get no reception anywhere in Manhattan where you’d actually need to make a phone call.  We like to imagine that Chris Christie is running for President because we like outsized… personalities.  (We’ve sprained all of our extraocular muscles rolling our eyes at Michelle Bachmann but she seems to have more staying power than Mitt Romney’s hair gel.) We like to imagine Derek Jeter hammering some of Justin Verlander’s 100 mph fastballs into the nosebleed seats at Comerica Park. We like to imagine that Girl Scout Council employees are paragons of public service and would never, ever embezzle $310,000 of organizational cookie money for cosmetic laser procedures and cruises.

But, alas, none of it’s true. Read More

Words of Wisdom from the Yankees Locker Room

Hideki Matsui is a Stone Cold Pimp, You Are Derek Jeter’s Squeegee, and Other Stories From a Yankees Bat Boy

After last night's extra-innings loss to Boston in a crucial game for the New York Yankees, there was little consolation to be had for their fans. Except for this: the New York Post got their hands on and excerpted the new memoir from a former Yankees batboy, one of the last of his kind who didn't have to sign a presumably eternal confidentiality agreement. If the excerpt they used is any indication, this is going to be one of the better, jucier reads in Yankees history.  Read More

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Schlub

On July 5, the New York Yankees were up 6-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning in an away game against the Cleveland Indians. Orlando Cabrera snapped the quiet with a sharp grounder between second and third that looked to be an easy base hit for the home team. The 37-year-old Derek Jeter, in his second game back after more than two weeks on the D.L., grabbed the ball as he spun in one fluid motion, like shine off a diamond, thunder-bolting a cross-field throw to Jorge Posada at first.

Mr. Cabrera was out by an inch. Read More

Derek Jeter is the Pride of the Yankees

Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit came just as the sport whose virtues he personifies is about to endure yet another public disgrace. Roger Clemens, one of Mr. Jeter’s former teammates on the great Yankee teams of the late 1990s, will soon find himself on trial in a court of law for the crime of lying to Read More

Gillibrand Met with MacKay

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand met with the head of the state's Independence Party for more than an hour and 40 minutes this weekend, the party leader said, calling it a "getting to know you" opportunity.

The chairman, Frank MacKay, said "she spoke and did very well" and that it was a "great lunch."

Baseball and the Heart of New York City

My parents moved to Brooklyn in 1955 when I was almost two years old, and by the time I was four, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants had played their last home games in the five boroughs. Until Casey Stengel and the Mets arrived in 1962, the only baseball team in town was the Read More

Today in Local Sports Coverage: The Paternity Test

"Spanked!" screams the Post's front cover this morning, although it's not exactly true. Pedro Martinez gave up two homers in a little over six innings last night, and most of the sportswriters praise the 37-year old--who once called the Yankees his "daddy"--for a gutty performance. "[T]he Bombers didn't exactly reassert their paternity with an exclamation Read More

Today in Local Sports Coverage: The Champagne Room

The Yankees finally closed out the Angels last night, so a lot of this morning's stories lead with the champagne-soaked locker room. It's the first time the Yankees have made the World Series in a while, and everyone seems to be missing George Steinbrenner, because all the papers give us a report on Hal Steinbrenner, Read More
