The curse is broken
It's not that I've never seen Derek Jeter's bat connect with a ball. I have. Then the ball would sail through the air, into the outfielders glove then sail back toward second base or home, getting another Yankee out and ending the inning. It became a running joke among my friends and would come to be known as 'Karol's Jeter curse'. I would be watching a game with the fellas and the moment I'd choose to get up and get a drink would be the moment of Jeter's grand slam. It was just always this way.
But that all changed last night. Thanks to the kindness of my cute little neighbor girl, I broke my Jeter curse live at Yankee stadium with a double against the Mets. Turns out that it's true: that guy really can hit.

Jeter belongs with the boys in the picture below.

Did you get good seats? I'm still blown away by the ones I had for Friday's game. Sec 17, Box 65, Row A. Few boxes from 1B.

Posted by: kat at June 27, 2005 08:42 PMAfter last October, Yankee fans don't get to talk about curses anymore. Sorry.
Posted by: Steve at June 27, 2005 11:19 PMSo who, if anyone, is going to get the axe? Personally, I want Steinbrenner to keep everything going just as it is. Go Sox.
Posted by: Jay at June 28, 2005 09:10 AMI'm hoping Steinbrenner explodes. My guess is that Mel Stottlemyre, if anyone, gets the axe, although since this is the last year on his contract, they may just let him finish out the season. I don't expect to see Joe Torre in pinstripes for 2006, either.
Posted by: Peter at June 28, 2005 10:27 AMOh, Steinbrenner will explode. I think we won't be seeing much more of Cashman than his head in a while. =D
And yes. Go Sox.
