Jeter Out Until After All Star Break

The Captain of the Yankees will be gone a bit longer than expected.

Derek Jeter apparently has a small crack in left ankle, the one that was surgically repaired over the off season. The Yankees were hoping that Jeter would return by opening day but that had to pushed back to May. Now it seems Jeter will have turned 39 years old by the time he returns from injury after the All Star Break.

The possibility that Derek Jeter will make a significant contribution to the Yankees this year is becoming less likely. The team or himself may have rushed things this Spring and, while both sides might not rush a comeback this time around, Jeter might just not have the same pep in his step. It might take him a while to get in rhythm and the injuries to his ankle might've affected his ability to play shortstop.

Many of the Yankees are certainly showing their age with the injuries with Jeter not being an exception.

Still So Much to See with the World Ending

As the end of the world is nigh, there is so much that I wish I could've seen in the sports world before our time was up. Here are the top ten things I was still waiting to see before the apocalypse came.

10. The NHL to come back. Be nice for Hockey to at least make the list.
 
9. The Sharks win the Stanley C… HA HA HA HA YEAH RIGHT!!!!

8. Mayweather v. Pacquiao. We wanted it for years but the promoters were always just too much of a tease like Justin Bieber (he's gay, get over him).

7. See if Tim Tebow could be a good QB/player in the NFL throughout a career. If the heavens can help it, they might just postpone the apocalypse to just see if the "other" son of god can be a starter in the pros.

6. See if any of the PED users got into the Baseball Hall of Fame. It doesn’t look good for any of the potential candidates from the steroid era but I’m sure most of them were just happy not to go to jail.

5. The other woman finally step forward and identify Ben Roethlisberger as her rapist. That and say Kobe joined in. See you a**holes in hell.

4. See the Cubs win the World Series. This is really the only significant thing in baseball that I would like to see happen. Them not winning in over a 100 years is the true disaster here.

3. Derek Jeter retiring from baseball. This I would've LOVE to see happen. I was going to throw a great party with chips, dip, and a roast of Jeter. No, an actual roasting of Jeter. He would’ve tasted so good in pinstripes.

2. 49ers win super bowl. While I was actually alive for three of the 49ers super bowl victories, I was too young to appreciate or even be aware of any of them. I’ve just been around for the heartache really.

1.The US get to the Semis of the World Cup. This one is more of a dream than anything else. To win it would be the Impossible Dream. 

-------------------------

Well it's been a good life anyway having seen the SF Giants and the Red Sox each win a pair of titles, see Chelsea win the Champions Cup, and to see Mark Sanchez get Butt Slapped in the face by his own lineman. Or was it a "Tight End"?

It's been fun while it lasted. Now if you don't mind I got to try and die without my virginity. I don't want to go out like Tebow.
