BREAKING: Joe Girardi says Derek Jeter has a fractured ankle and is done for the season. #Yankees

couple games too late

Karma for Markakis?

Man, those hits keep on coming for the Yankees.

That said, Jeter is the player I hate the least. Still makes too many stupid faces at the plate though.

[caesarod]

That's probably going to affect his range at SS in the next three or four years.

[section18]

He was fielding a ball to his left and turned his ankle it appeared and tried to flip the ball to the 2B to throw to first. The Tigers had taken the lead 5-4 on the play before this and added another run that inning and won 6-4. He layed on the field and had to be carried off. Girardi said he fractured a bone above his ankle and will be out the rest of the season and it will take three months to heel. The TV guys are acting like the world is about to end. They will find a way to win and just punch a few more over the fences in NY and Detroit. I could only think about Nick and what they did to him while watching Jeter lay in pain on the field. Things sometimes find a way to even out.

[section18]

Girardi was asked if he would consider playing AROD at SS his former position and he said no. It's been too long since he played there. I think he had too quick an answer and will probably rethink this and have him field some balls at SS in practice and play some games there.

Nix is adequate. Arod remains lost at the plate, but is at least current at 3B. Biggest hit is going to be at leadoff, Jeter finds a way to get on base.

[25 Nuggets]

Eduardo Nunez is joining the postseason roster and will replace Jeter. Expect a mix between him and Jayson Nix at SS, with Ichiro batting leadoff and (Swisher?) batting 2nd.

I can't see them playing arod there because it could cause more drama....I firmly believe that if jeter was the true captain and out for whats best for the team then when they aquired arod years back he would have moved to 3rd. I believe Arod was a much better ss then jeter, and jeter could have shown he is a true captain and leader by making a move best for the team, but his ego prevented it

[Billy Button]

That's the same foot that was sore. Theory: Pain shot so he could play caused him to ignore his body telling him not to play. Either that or all that jackknifing at the plate.

[sevastras]

Doesnt steroids weaken bones?

[lobo]

Karma for Markakis?

That was my first thought.

[kyleott]

That was my first thought.

I broke my foot in 5th grade, and then my other foot in 6th grade....

So what you're saying is, somebody administered me high doses of steroids from ages 0-10... Thank you for clarifying that for me.

I definitely had sympathy for Rivera's crippling injury earlier this year.

For some reason, I have very little for this....
