He has a double standard. If it was A-Rod the whole world would be up in arms this morning about it being bush league. But since it was Captain America who did it, it's a smart play. Let's see if there is any retribution taken by the Rays.

This sums it up, was, is and always will be a part of the game.

"It's part of the game. My job is to get on base."
Jeter

Maddon agreed:

"If our guys had did it, I would have applauded that. It's a great peformance on his part," he said. "Several players are very good at that. And again, I'm not denigrating it. If our guy does it, I'm very happy with that if we end up getting the call. ... Fortunately it didn't cost us."

[randallscott35]

Not quite.

LOL. This is a non story. Jeter doesnt get to fake getting hit and head to first on his own. The umpire sends him down there based on what he and the other 3 umpires saw. If they missed it or were "tricked" by Jeter, too bad. Calling it cheating and comparing it to corking a bat is beyond idiotic. I may have exceeded the speed limit on occasion and might have pulled the tag off of a mattress but that doesn't make me a criminal does it?

It doesn't make you too manly either.

If I was a pitcher on Tampa i would drill him next time he came to the plate. tell him he doesn't have to fake this time. That would be the manly thing to do.

This is mind numbing, it's how the game and all sports in general have been played for 100 years. Would you feel the same about a defensive back who picks off a short hopped pass that the ref misses and isn't overruled by replay. Is he cheating? How about a basketball player or soccer player who takes a dive to get the foul called. Cheating? This is more about hating the Yankees and Jeter. And the clown who wrote the article, is he 10? Has he not participated in sports or seen how all sports are played since they were invented. Again his hatred for the World Champion New York Yankees is showing.

What despicable act? Players act, flop, dive in every other team sport to get calls.

Here's a MOFO that's made a career of throwing his ass out whenever a pitch is from the outside corner in. And, given the quality of the umpiring, he gets quite a few of these calls. Down the middle, Jeter's ass pops out, BALL.

Wonder what some of the old timers, like Gibson, Drysdale, etc., would offer in the way of a remedy for this.
