Let me preface this by saying I am 95% kidding, but I want Derek Jeter to go hitless on Friday.  Why you ask?  Because I have tickets to Saturday's game of course!

Now, I will change my wish if say Jeter comes up in the late innings with the tying/winning runs on and needs a hit to get them home (team comes first) but if he doesn't, an 0-4 night would be great.  Actually, an 0-0 night and four walks would be even better, just no hits.  And then rake away on Saturday.  Get the hit in the first inning please, just in case the game turns into a blowout or it is cold, or rainy, or if the sun is in my eyes, or if the guy I am going to the game with gets boring.  Thanks so much Derek.

Forgive a little whimsy.  It's hard to do anything but enjoy watching the Yankees right now.  Yes, Joba needs some fixing (but maybe Jeter's "talk" did that he was very good after the first)  And yes, Robertson's elbow is concerning, but then again he might not have even made the playoff roster.  

You can quibble with some things here or there, but the bottom line is this team has won 91 games, leads the AL East by 9 games and is heading for October.  Once we get there, there will be some serious things to talk about, but for now just enjoy the ride.
