[外電] Jeter out for postseason
NEW YORK -- The X-rays merely provided the grim confirmation of what several
Yankees already suspected -- Derek Jeter is lost for the season.
The iconic captain ranged toward the second-base bag for a play he's probably
made hundreds of times during his career. But in the 12th inning of the
Yankees' 6-4 loss in 12 innings to the Tigers in Game 1 of the American
League Championship Series on Saturday night, Jeter's ankle buckled as he
fielded the ball.
Jeter fell down, and couldn't get up on his own. He has a fractured left
ankle and won't play baseball again until 2013.
"For him to lay down on that field, I knew something was broke or torn
completely," said Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte, who worked 6 2/3 innings of
two-run ball. "You know, when I saw him not get up, I knew he was done,
really. It's terrible."
The Yankees expect Jeter to return by Spring Training.
"I don't know the exact medical terms, but I'll just call it a broken ankle,"
said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. "He has a fracture in his ankle
and he's going to be down for this series and the remaining series, and it's
about a three-month minimum recovery, from what the doctor tells us."
The loss wasn't nearly as painful to the Yankees as the realization that they
will have to try to get to the World Series without Jeter.
"When Derek Jeter needs help to get off the field, you know it's bad," said
Cashman.
That had happened only one other time in Jeter's career -- back on Opening
Day 2003, when he separated his left shoulder in Toronto.
Never had Jeter been knocked out of action in October.
This is the second enormous blow the Yankees have had to an active legend
this season. Closer Mariano Rivera tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his
right knee while shagging fly balls during batting practice back on May 3 at
Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium, and the right-hander was lost for the season.
"That's kind of crushing, you know?" said right fielder Nick Swisher. "It's
tough; it's really tough. We've got to keep pushing along and keep playing
our game, and hopefully we can pull it out."
Jayson Nix will take over at shortstop in Jeter's absence. Eduardo Nunez will
take Jeter's place on the roster, effective for Sunday's 4 p.m. ET Game 2 on
TBS.
Once the Yankees got the official diagnosis, there wasn't much to say in the
trainer's room. Jeter was there, surrounded by Cashman, members of the
medical staff, former manager Joe Torre -- now an executive with Major League
Baseball -- and Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson.
"There were about five or six people in there," Cashman said. "Our game was
still going on."
How was the news relayed to Jeter?
"Just that he has a fracture and, 'It's something you can't play through,'"
said Cashman. "I think the doc had to emphasize that in talking to Derek, who
is as tough as they come."
Jeter has battled left foot problems for weeks, and perhaps general weakness
in that area made his ankle more susceptible to the fracture that occurred.
"I'm not in a position to answer that," said Cashman. "It very well could be
related. He's been banged up with that foot, so I would say yeah, I would
think it is related."
Now the Yankees will be in a most unfamiliar role of trying to win at the
most important time of year without their unquestioned leader.
"The way to honor Derek mostly more than anything else, and these guys all
know this, is to get the job done in his absence," Cashman said. "That's what
everybody in here intends to do, and that's what we'll focus on, just like
when we've lost anybody else.
"The most analogous would be Mariano. We lost Pettitte for a period of time.
We lost Mo for the season. We've lost Derek for the season. Nix is capable
and he'll be plugged in there tomorrow, and we look forward to getting even
with this Tigers team tomorrow."
The Yankees had stormed back in Game 1, rallying back from a 4-0 deficit in
the bottom of the ninth on two-run homers by Ichiro Suzuki and Raul Ibanez.
But by the end of the night, they lost the game and their captain.
"It's a tough moment for all of us because of what he means to our team,"
said Ibanez.
For the rest of this postseason, Jeter will be reduced to the role of
cheerleader.
"It doesn't matter," said Cashman. "The job is to overcome every obstacle
that comes our way. We have one team standing in our way to get to the World
Series."
隊長你希苦了....剩下的交給其他人吧
Nix 將會代替隊長 SS的先發位置
Nunez 會被叫上來當 Nix的替補
話說Jeter只需要3個月的時間 應該趕得上明年開季春訓
God Bless Jeter!! 好好養傷吧
Let's Go Yankees !!
