Shoe lifts are wedge-shaped inserts which fit in the heel part of a shoe, with the purpose of adding elevation under one or both feet for therapeutic purposes. People who endure foot pain from wearing shoes for a long time. height insoles can reduce pain. Heel lifts are also perfect for people who want to increase their height.

Jeter will be a Yankee until he retires and then will be inducted into the hall of fame!

First Baseball:Jeter finishes his career in Da Bronx.[if it ain't broke, don't fix it]. Then he retires to his monstrosity of a new home, 32,000 sq.ft. excuse me, in Tampa where he waits for any and all offers to Manage, Endorse, etc… but why should he bother, because his final contract w/the Yanks leaves him plenty to just go off and marry some lucky lady and raise little Dereks. He’ll be just fine, the Steinbrenners will reward him for his hard work and loyality to the Yanks and his everloving NY fans.
RE: DRIVERS… I went to school in Boston, them beantowners just go fast to just test the cops, but the cops don’t care.
In Jersey, its all about winning the rat race. Just when I thought I won the race, along come faster rats.
In Florida, its all about advoiding the old folks, the drunks and stoners, and arriving alive they say.

I agree that Jeter won’t go anywhere. He’s a Yankee for life – and thank God for that!!
But… let me just throw one very remote possibility out there. And when I say remote, I mean even less of a .000000001% chance. Derek grew up in Michigan. And although Derek was always a Yankee fan, his dad was a Tigers fan. I could see classy Derek Jeter wanting to play the last year of his hall-of-fame career in a Detroit uniform as a tribute to his dad.
Like I said – less than a .000000001% chance. But for a class act like Jeter, it’s the only non-Yankee scenario that would not surprise me.

I certainly won’t complain about paying Jeter too much for too long – especially because I’m a Yankee fan. If major league baseball wants to stop overpaying for players, they have a problem – because they treated players like dirt throughout most of the 20th century, players found more effective ways to extract money from owners pockets. And who can blame them for doing so? So if Jeter is treated well *and* is well paid for a full, pinstripe only career – bully for Derek!!!!
Regarding the comment about no player being worth the money, I have to disagree – players are valued by how many butts are in the seats due to their presence. If major league baseball really wanted teams to compete, they’d eliminate the luxury tax – and allow teams to move to where the money is. Can we really say that cities like Pittsburgh deserve baseball teams, while counties like Brooklyn, NYC have supported teams in the past (with greater population). Let the teams go where the money is, and put minor league teams where the money isn’t. This way, both owners and players will have to earn their keep, while competition keeps things in check. (And yes, Jeter would still play for the Yankees regardless of money – he has that kind of class as a veteran ballplayer.)

Seeing Jeter in another uniform would have been like seeing Mantle or DiMag in another team’s uniform…ain’t gonna happen. In this age of money talks and to hell with loyalty, I think Jeter is one of the exceptions to the rule. Class act.

“I would place the likelihood of the Yankees letting Jeter go elsewhere — or Jeter wanting to go elsewhere, even for more money — at approximately .000000001%, and the only reason that number is above zero is to reflect the probability that a meteor strikes New York while Jeter is out of town between now and next fall, thereby eliminating the Yankees as a possibility.”
I appreciate the minimal mathematical improbability of it, but I personally would put it at all zeroes……No chance, no how, no way, uh-uh, forget it………….

I agree with Craig Calcaterra that Jeeter won’t bolt from the Yankees and he’s good as gold to remain until he retires. I also agree, there are practically no other teams he could go to, as money is no longer affordable by most teams. I agree with Craig that he most likely will be paid a bit too much and too long, as other athletes have shown in their remaining few years, production simply diminishes as one ages. Jeeter is no exception.
Craig goes onto finish “And absolutely no one in the universe will be bothered a bit by it”. Well Craig, I’m bothered and so are many other people we know here in Michigan, sorry to disagree with you, salaries have just got far out of whack! So there, you need to watch what you say and write. One man isn’t worth that kind of money! And money doesn’t necessarily guarantee a W.S. ring year in and year out. Perhaps when the Steinbrenner clan either runs short of cash or simply disappears, baseball will be at a crossroads. Will another Czar show up or will baseball become more evenly matched? I said this before and I will say this again…I simply hate the Yankees!

All of the near-misses with tail ends and lampposts I’ve ever had in Atlanta were the result of some 9-plus local sweetheart (a type of creature in which Atlanta abounds) strolling down the sidewalk in an abbreviated dress or tight jeans, so I have to cut the local drivers up there some slack. With the exception of Vancouver in the summertime, I can’t think of anyplace I’ve ever been – and this includes the coastal communities from Santa Monica southward -
with so many potentially disastrous roadside distractions. Crossing in front of you at a crosswalk doesn’t count, because you’re likely just to step down harder on the brakes.

Jeter’s going nowhere. He’s the Yankee staple, the Captain of the ship and, unles it sinks (which it won’t do), Derek stays put.
A-Rod will bolt before Jeter would ever even think about it.
Any news on Matsui going to Seattle??

Jersey drivers are aggressive douches, but half of them are actually good enough to pull it off (or so I tell myself when I’m weaving down the Parkway doing 85). Worst drivers I’ve ever seen? Atlantans. Even the slightest bit of precipitation and the roadways come to a standstill. And don’t get me started on their utter lack of traffic planning. You’d think they’d have done a better job after Sherman gave them a chance to start over.

By: Old Gator

Old Gator — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:20:24 +0000

Hey, thanks for the sanctions! Okay – I think Jersey drivers are so awful in part because they all want to show up in Bruce Springsteen songs before he gets old enough to start singing about motorized wheelchairs, in part because all the trichloroethane in their drinking water has affected their alleged minds, but mostly because they can barely see through the film of splattered mosquitos on their windshields. Boston motorists have the bitterness of the Beanbags’ history still lodged in their mitochondrial DNA and they’re taking it out on the world through their driving, but it’ll be at least a dozen years before the ones born after their championship get out on the roads under their own steam – and they’ll be teenagers at the time. It’s hopeless. Plus, all those stupid traffic circles rubbing salt in their psychic wounds – hell, they could have just paid the tea tax and they’d have had their idiotic British style road designs without the goddamned war.
There. I said it. And I feel better now.

Meanwhile, I guess I better reconsider my armory of comments about Boston and New Jersey drivers as well.

Oh you can say it, they’re both terrible, although after living in the NE for most of my life, people in NC are doing their best to join them. Grr…

Craig – my sincere apologies to anyone who was offended. I ask only that you try driving down here before you take my comments too seriously; it’s kind of a standing joke in Miami (as, for example, “Boston drivers” are in Boston) that even my many Cuban friends treat with mock pride and which the local improv comics milk mercilessly. Meanwhile, I guess I better reconsider my armory of comments about Boston and New Jersey drivers as well.

stuff

and

mark my words, when is game seven of the world series between the yankees and phillies ?Would the Captain test the market to punish the Yankees for stringing him along?

Who’s has been “stringing” him along? You’d think a paper responsible for covering the team would realize they’ve done this with every single player on the team for the last 10+ years. They did it with Bernie when he threatened to sign with the Sox, they did it with Arod, hell they did it with Jeter on his 189/10 deal (and Torre, and Girardi, etc etc etc).

The YANKEES will get this done with Jetes, he is our modern day YANKEE HERO, he will be the Joe Dimaggio for our generation. Yogi is what 109 years old and he has to die sometime, I guess, Jetes will have to replce Yogi.How is it that Yogi is getting shorter and shorter, I fear one day he will shrink or vanish away rather then die, all you want to do is put him in your pocket and walk around with him all day, I can imagine the kicks I would get.Back to Derek, he may be the last player of this type that will come the yankees way, I know they will do the right thing otherwise we will have to riot in New York, Cah won’t play with this, he can get burned bad, In GOD U TRUST, IN Derek WE BELIEVE.

Craig, thanks for re-invoking the Alvarez Hypothesis to account for your statistical probability assertion.
Unfortunately, after checking a few astrophysics, geology and paleontology web sites, I have discovered that the going estimation of another meteor of that size striking the Earth between the time that Jeter’s current contract expires and the beginning of Spring training the following season is actually fare tinier than the probability figures you offered. Jusk ask any triceratops.
Ergo, Borg fans have every reason to be nervous. Or, as we like to say down here when setting out on a drive to the supermarket on our Cuban-driver infested highways, be afraid. Be very afraid.
