The Derek Jeter/Alex Rodriguez saga continues as former Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer weighed-in at the Truckers Paradise truck scales in Florida recently.

Zimmer was in town for his annual Spring Training medical and we caught this picture of "Da Zim" in between jelly doughnuts and Yoo-Hoo.

"Da Zim" has enlisted the help of Celebrity Fit Club guru, Harvey Walden III to whip up in shape for the 2007 season.

Before swearing off the carbs, "Da Zim" had a "heart to heart" with reporters and  "hammed" it up for the cameras, where it was discovered that he had a message of support for Derek Jeter.

Bernie Williams got tired of playing "the same old tune" for Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman and promptly smashed the recent "minor league offer deal" and spring training invitation over Cashman’s melon.

Bernie has always been a vaulable asset to the Yankees organization and we will just have to wait and see who comes "a knocking" at "whose door" this season.

The new season of the Yankees American Idols is full of drama this year – oy veh!!!

My hopes are for Bernie but it’s a long shot!

Derek "Da Gold Glove Maniac" Jeter and Alex "Harry Potter Jr. " Rodriguez  squared off at the impromptu octagon ring setup by Ron "Gator" Guidry at Legends Field in Florida recently.

Tensions between the two warriors had been brewing ever since Jeter got kicked to the curb by ring card girl Jessica Biel or was it Vegas showgirl Vanessa Minnilo? – I forget.

Anyway, since parting ways with his lady company, Jeter has been on a terror and Rodriguez has been the target of the Yankee Captain’s rage.

Jeter started out the match with his trademark spinning "gold glove" back hand, which landed flush on Rodriguez’s noggin.

Rodriguez responded with an equally impressive "Out of the Ballpark" choke hold in which the rookie childrens book author used the cheap binding of the book to place Jeter in an asphxiated predicament.

Ring judge Steve Swindal stumbled into the ring to break things up but passed out himself and the match was postponned due to Swindal’s apparent inebriated medical condition.

STAY TUNED!!!

More photos from the February 15, 2007 DUI arrest of Steve Swindal are developing. 
DA BRONX BOMBERS news correspondent got hold of this dash-cam still photo from the arresting officers.

Officer B.A. Baracus went on record with the following statement:

"I PITY DA FOOL!"

The heir apparent to the Steinbrenner empire, general partner Steve Swindal, was arrested and booked by the St. Petersburg, Florida police for Driving Under The Influence on February 15, 2007.

The arresting officer stated that Mr. Swindal had been "swerving" and "curving" his vehicle at around 4:26 a.m. after apparently drinking the rest of the Yankees Management team under the table at a nearby Florida watering hole.

Swindal was thrown in the "clinky" to "dry out" and was released at 9:53 a.m on a BIG AL’s  $250 bail bond posted by George Steinbrenner.

Swindal will be auctioning off his Yankees Management Hula Shirt on Ebay to recoup his fees associated with the arrest.

Chapter One – The Opt-Out

The A-Rod Bookmobile rolled into Florida, and after signing a few books, the second-time author fielded “line drive” questions from reporters about the infamous “opt-out clause” in his contract.

Asked about the possibility of exercising this sketchy maneuver, A-Rod was quoted as stating the following:

"My thought process right now is winning a world championship. I’m really excited about that. I’m taking it one day at a time."

Da Bronx Bombers News hired body language expert Jules Winnfield (aka da bad a-s-s hitman in Pulp Fiction) to interrogate A-Rod further.

Here’s how it all went down just as the book-signing gig was ending:

JULES
How you boys doin’?

No answer from A-Rod or Scott Boras his agent.

JULES

(to A-Rod)

Am I trippin’, or did I just ask you a question.

A-ROD
We’re Doing okay.

JULES
Do you know who I am?

A scared A-Rod shakes his head: “No.”

JULES
I’m an associate of your business partner Mr. Steinbrenner, you remember your business partner don’t ya?  He wants some answers about your "opt-out clause."

No answer.

SCOTT BORAS
I remember him.

JULES
Good for you.  Looks likeI caught you boys reading, sorry ’bout that.  What’cha readin”?

A-ROD
Actually, I don’t read but I wrote a book.

JULES
A book. The cornerstone of mans intelligence.  What kindda book?

SCOTT BORAS
A picture book – with pretty pict….

BLAMMMMM….

JULES
I don’t believe I asked mister agent there a gosh darned question now did I!

A-ROD quivers as his agent Scott Boras paints a red spiral pattern on a nearby stack of unsigned books.

JULES
Oh, I’m sorry.  Did that break your concentration?  I didn’t mean to do that.  Please, continue.  I believe you were going to say something about an "opt-out clause."

Hey – Kool-Aid!!!!
