Just days after smacking hit No. 3,000 and becoming a baseball hero, Derek Jeter has fallen out of favor among fans and baseball brass because of a questionable decision. <\/p>\n
Reportedly, Jeter will skip tonight\u2019s All-Star Game because of emotional and physical exhaustion from his chase for 3,000 hits. He may have attended the game in Phoenix if he\u2019d gotten the 3,000th<\/sup> hit earlier last week and had time to recover. Players and executives are questioning the choice.<\/p>\n \u201cDerek Jeter has done everything right during his whole career.\u201d one unidentified major-league official told the New York Daily News. <\/p>\n <\/em>\u201cHe was wrong on this one. This could have been a celebration of his 3,000th<\/sup> hit. <\/p>\n He didn\u2019t have to play.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cFor me, personally, if you get selected to be here you have an obligation,\u201d said St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lance Berkman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Clemens may not testify at trial<\/strong><\/p>\n Will Roger Clemens not testify at his own trial for lying to Congress about this use of PEDs? His lawyer, Rusty Hardin, suggested this week that Clemens may not take the stand at all. <\/p>\n He faces six felony charges after insisting under oath that he never took banned substances during his playing career.<\/p>\n During the jury selection process, one potential juror said he wanted to hear both sides of the story before making a decision on Clemens\u2019 innocence or guilt. <\/p>\n Hardin told her, \u201cMaybe you won\u2019t get both sides.\u201d The woman then engaged in a debate with Hardin about whether or not failing to testify qualified as an admission of guilt.<\/p>\n K-Rod, Heath Bell feel differently about trade requests<\/strong><\/p>\n Closer Heath Bell of the San Diego Padres and Francisco Rodriguez of the New York Mets may both be traded to contenders before the end of the month \u2013 but both have different feelings about their future roles. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Bell said he\u2019s willing to accept a setup role if he\u2019s dealt. <\/p>\n Rodriguez, on the other hand, won\u2019t accept a trade if it means he wouldn\u2019t be a closer anymore.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s sports water cooler talk.
