Hardball Time For The Holidays

I really don't know what else to say about the Jeter negotiations other than I still love what the Yankees are doing and that everybody who is upset by Cash and Hank's statements and thinks the Yankees should just bend over to Jeter is an idiot.  So instead of reiterating how I love that the Yanks continue to give themselves the upper hand and paint Close into a corner (since he's the one that all these statements are directed at any way, not Jeter), I'll just show this funny picture of Jeter getting brushed back that perfectly captures the current state of these contract talks.
