Yankees Big Three

Who says the Yankee's are getting old? Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Mariano Rivera have something to say about that. Jeter is batting .411 on the season with 4 home runs and 13 RBI's. Last night in Arlington, he went 4 - 5 with an RBI. A - Rod is hitting .250 with 3 home runs and 7 RBI's. He went 1 - 2 last night along with 3 RBI last night, with a home run. Rivera came into the ninth inning and shut the door for his fourth save this season.

If you listened to the media last year, Jeter and A - Rod were terrible according to them. They began to ask questions like, "Is it time for Jeter to retire?" The answer was an easy one, absolutely not. The captain of the Yankee's still has "it". The only reason why Jeter should retire is if he is no longer able to play or if he isn't having fun playing the game any longer.

A - Rod is currently trying to chase down Bonds/Aaron for the most home runs in major league history. This year he surpassed Ken Griffey Jr. on the list. Just another accomplishment for a famous Yankee.

Rivera continues to set the record for saves in a career each time he saves another game. This may or may not be Mo's last season. He said that he is the only one that knows if this will be his last season or not. I see no reason why he should retire. He is 42 and his cutter can still reach 93 MPH at that age which is remarkable. He is still extremely effective in the ninth inning. He still has the ability to play, so it leaves the decision entirely up to him.
