Sound The Sirens, Yankees Fans! Derek Jeter Looks Hurt!

Is it panic mode for you Yankee faithful yet?
For once, the Mets aren’t the sad sack du jour of the Metropolitan area. OK, fine, they totally still are, but it’s not every day you see the boys in Pinstripes reeling like they’ve been. And even though they beat the Red Sox 5-4 Wednesday night to maintain a first-place tie in the AL East, it wasn’t all pretty for the struggling Bombers: Derek Jeter has added injury to insult to injury.
Look away, Yankee fans! Look away!
The injury is being called an ankle sprain, which if I know ankle sprains, I know the higher up the ankle it is, the worse. But for a Yankee team sputtering before the finish line — a finish line that doesn’t really mean squat for them — this is probably the worst possible thing that could happen to them. Derek Jeter, while he doesn’t possess the same kind of pop as a Cano or Teixeira, is still the team’s most consistent hitter (haven’t you heard?) and finding a quality lead-off replacement is one tough task.
We’ll know more about the Yankees’ October odds (should such odds even come to exist) once we learn more about the severity of Jeter’s injury, but let’s be real, you never want to hear the phrase “Jeter comes up limping” if you’re a Yankees fan.
