Mood Music - Cult of Personality by Living Colour
If you thought Derek Jeter would be flapped by Prince Hank Steinbrenner's recent bout of diarrhea of the mouth, Jeter is going to try to prove you wrong. Jeter jovially said:
"I understand most of it. The house, I didn't understand. That's a first. That's funny, I think. I'm not moving, so we won't be talking about this again."
For his part, Hank backed off his original statement:
"It was a euphemism, that's all it was. It was a generalization, a euphemism. Bad choice of a euphemism, but it was a euphemism. That's all it was."
"It certainly isn't Derek. Derek's got 5 rings. You don't win five rings by being complacent. So it was definitely not Derek I was talking about."
It's good that Hank at least has enough sense to know that he put his foot in his mouth, but on "euphemism:" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Robinson Cano reported late to the Yankees camp because he got the days confused. Personally, I blame Melky Cabrera.
