1. I predict Swisher doesn't get a hit off Lee in the next 5 years

3. Hopefully he won't get a chance to do so in this series.

4. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Lee will get at least 5 years from the Yankees (and if they lose to Texas they WILL be the highest bidder), and they'll certainly keep Swisher for a few more years.

5. Well, A-Hole and Jeter hate each other, and Jeter will retire soon, so the anomosity

between Lee and Swisher would simply carry on the Wankme tradition of having players on their team who loathe one another.
