Jeter Rips The Lid Off

Following in the steps of Barry Bonds, Derek Jeter has now launched his own Web site through MLB.com. We've been making fun of Barry's site pretty regularly, particularly its tendency to use its position as Barry's Only Place To Talk To His Fans Without That Racist Media Standing In The Way to tell us about his sister's photography business or give Willie Mays virtual hugs.

That said, Barry's site is an improvement about Jeter's; we guess it's more exciting to write about not playing. In his latest "journal" "entry," Jeets tells us that playing the Red Sox is no big deal, Robinson Cano is fun to play with, the upcoming weekend should be "fun" and, our favorite, "It's too early to worry about who is in first place. It's more important how we're playing, and if we play well, things will work themselves out."

Not that we were expecting Jeter to start detailing his late nights at Marquee or anything, but you know next week he's going to tell us how he takes games one at a time and gives 110 percent, because that's all you can give.
