LOL. This is a non story. Jeter doesnt get to fake getting hit and head to first on his own. The umpire sends him down there based on what he and the other 3 umpires saw. If they missed it or were "tricked" by Jeter, too bad. Calling it cheating and comparing it to corking a bat is beyond idiotic. I may have exceeded the speed limit on occasion and might have pulled the tag off of a mattress but that doesn't make me a criminal does it?

It doesn't make you too manly either.

If I was a pitcher on Tampa i would drill him next time he came to the plate. tell him he doesn't have to fake this time. That would be the manly thing to do.

This is mind numbing, it's how the game and all sports in general have been played for 100 years. Would you feel the same about a defensive back who picks off a short hopped pass that the ref misses and isn't overruled by replay. Is he cheating? How about a basketball player or soccer player who takes a dive to get the foul called. Cheating? This is more about hating the Yankees and Jeter. And the clown who wrote the article, is he 10? Has he not participated in sports or seen how all sports are played since they were invented. Again his hatred for the World Champion New York Yankees is showing.

Here's a MOFO that's made a career of throwing his ass out whenever a pitch is from the outside corner in. And, given the quality of the umpiring, he gets quite a few of these calls. Down the middle, Jeter's ass pops out, BALL.

Wonder what some of the old timers, like Gibson, Drysdale, etc., would offer in the way of a remedy for this.

If they played now they wouldn't do much more than what is done now unless they wanted to spend half the season suspended.

LOL..You think acting like you got hit in the hand is a manly thing to do? See, this is why we had steroids/HGH in this sport. It's not a moral thing to have to tell the whole country you had your hand treated by a trainer because of "vibration." It's immoral. Everything about this organization is about winning the wrong way. That's what they represent, and Jeter is the best example.

It is cheating. It's not idiotic to consider that cheating. He acts like the ball hit his hand. After the game he says it hit the bat. That is 100% cheating.

It is not cheating. He doesn't make the call, the ump does. So catchers trying to frame pitches are cheating too? Aren't they trying to deceive the ump? When a guy misses the bag on a double play and the ump doesnt see it is that cheating too? When a guy checks his swing but does in fact go around but the ump makes a bad call and says he held up, is that cheating if he doesnt admit to swinging? If a guy traps a ball but the ump misses the call and says it was a catch, is he cheating?
