Donald Trump has come to his defense:

While Derek Jeter is training every day in the off season, reports come out that A-Rod is partying all over the country. Go Derek. @Yankees—

Hi APBA,
Yep, but we knew he where he was. Part of the time he and cur68 were visiting me and we went to games at Kauffman and Busch.
Shortly after, he was vacationing for 6 weeks. We (The1st Unofficial HBT Fantasy League) did get e-mails.
Len’s best friend is a Tigers fan. We expected to hear from him during the playoffs and didn’t.

Am I the only one who gets freaked out when they see a Trans Am now?

Those pics were either photoshop’d or he has some kind of weird skinny mutant arm thing happening.

And in related news, hunky veteran country music star Randy Travis is in the best shape of his life. He keeps this up, he might be headed to a ballpark near you for some Opening Day national anthem action.

Jeter’s chances of being ready opening day are wahfer thin….

He had a long spell of silence earlier this year also.

Derek might be looking a bit chubby now but I (and probably quite a few of y’all) will be sporting some chub of our own once The Jete Man is back patrolling the middle of the diamond come spring.

Hey Gator,
None of the “league” has heard from him since the beginning of the playoffs.
I’ll try calling him this afternoon.

He’s also wearing baggy clothes on a windy day. That’s bound to make anyone look chubbier than they actually are.

Oh dear, I have trodden in Monsieur’s bucket.

Indeed, their should be a 2-3 hour time limit, on either side of a meal, for watching Mr. Creosote.

Jeter isn’t exactly looking like Captain Cool in those pics.

Um – anybody heard from Yankeesfanlen lately? The playoffs were probably brutal for him but I’m getting a bit worried at his silence.

By: Old Gator

Old Gator — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:05:42 +0000

Well, don’t watch the Mr. Creosote episode just after eating, or, especially, just before. And don’t watch it with your dogs. For some reason it really makes mine hungry.

And above all, don’t sthkimp on the pa-hey.

The creepy thing is that TMZ probably has a team of “reporters?” flying down to Tampa as we speak to get the first Derek Jeter chubby pics.

He’ll be a little slower next year due to that leg, so those doubles may be long singles.

Even with the pounds, Derek Jeter will still score just as much as before. All he has to do is use one of the best pick-up lines ever, “Hello, my name is Derek Jeter, wanna bang?”

…and the harder you have to work just to stay in shape….he is at that age where his basal metabolism is significantly slowing down…so any down time at all will result in a much faster accumulation of weight than when he (or any of us) was younger….but yeah, I expect him to look the same come March…nice to see that he is “one of us” though.

and yet he will still get more and hotter ass than most folks here…

“How are you doing Mr. Jeter?”

“Beter.”

“Better Sir?”

“Better get a bucket. I’m going to throw up!”

In an unrelated news story, FTD’s stock price dropped 2% this morning…

Gotta keep in mind though, the older you get the harder you have to work to shed that excess weight.

Not saying he won’t do it, but I am saying it’ll be tough for him to be in prime shape early.

Thanks, now I have a craving to watch Hunt For Red October and Monty Python this weekend.

He’ll be fine. He’s due to receive some HGH as a Christmas present and will get after it following the New Year. Just kidding, DJ is the man!

He kind of looks like he could be related to Cashman in those pictures. I bet neither of them is happy about that. (“No way, I’m an athlete.” vs “No way, I’m paying him a trillion dollars to be an athlete. He better not look like me.”)
