“The Earthquake on Long Island NY was a direct result of Jeter’s deal not getting done.” - Jeter’s agent

“How do Earthquakes work? Easy as pie that’s how they work.” Said a grinning Casey Close.

After the Yankees officials and Jeter’s people met yesterday, it is believed that they are on better terms and hope to work things out.

However, the man we think is Casey Close is making yet another accusation.

“Plain and simple. An Earthquake hits Long Island NY and NY’s favorite shortstop doesn’t have a contract in place. I mean if you can’t read between the lines, you are a moron.” Said Close

Close, who many refer to as the used car salesman of baseball, also placed a “wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man” in front of his house.

“I’m trying to drive up the price and get the Yankees attention. Deals Deals Deals. I mean gosh…. Hal, what is it gonna take to get Derek Jeter into a brand new Yankee Uniform today? I don’t think you, me or anyone else wants to see another earthquake in NY. Let’s get this deal done ‘Close’ style.” Said Close.

Close has also used Harry Potter’s Box Office revenue, the price of gas, the cost of the BP oil spill and the US deficit, as a comparison to make Jeter’s contract look like peanuts.

After stating his case, some witnessed Close putting his thumb to his ear and pinky to his mouth telling Hal to give him a ring.

The Jeter gossip continues….
