The Yankees' season didn't start off how we all hoped it would. Sub-par pitching and even worse defense led to a listless 6-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
If there is a silver lining to the game (aside from it being just one game out of a long baseball season) it is that Derek Jeter looked and felt like the Jeter of old.
While he admitted to feeling some nerves...

From the moment Derek Jeter announced this would be his final season in Yankees pinstripes, you knew the farewell tour would be similar to the one Mariano Rivera experienced last season. A rocking chair, commemorative guitar, sand sculpture, beach cruiser bicycles, custom fishing poles, and a mounted fire hose nozzle were among the items gifted […]

It even sounds stupid to write: The Houston Astros gave .167 hitting Derek Jeter golf clubs, cowboy boots, and a hat as part of the Derek Jeter farewell tour.Your browser does not support iframes.Funny.

Although they do not tell the entire story of the game, they give fans insight into how the game works. Some sabermetric statistics are more confusing than others, and some make no sense at all. But there are certain ones that do help the fans understand...

The Derek Jeter farewell tour started in Houston on Tuesday, and the outcome was hilarious – the Astros beat the Yankees 6-2. If we’re going to be subjected to a year of Jeter fellation, it would be perfect if the Yankees were a fourth or fifth place team this season in the AL East.
