It's unfathomable to many: Derek Jeter in something other than pinstripes or Yankee road grays.
Ichiro Suzuki is streaking, and so are the New York Yankees. Suzuki homered, then hit a go-ahead, two-run double in a seven-run fourth inning capped by Nick Swisher's grand slam as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 10-7 Thursday night.
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira plans on traveling to Tampa on Monday to rehabilitate his strained left calf during instructional league games at New York's Minor League complex.
Joe Girardi would be wise to move Ichiro to the leadoff spot and bat Jeter behind him. It could give the Yankees a game-changer in their race to capture the AL East.

With the season winding down and the American League East still in doubt, the Yankees are considering activating outfielder Brett Gardner, the team's official site reported on Tuesday evening. The catch? He wouldn't be asked to hit.
College football made its return to Yankee Stadium in 2010. Now it seems the Bombers' chief AL East rivals will have their own gridiron renaissance.
It was easily determined whether Andy Pettitte or rookie David Phelps would pitch the first game or the nightcap. "Andy, you kind of give (Andy) his choice," said manager Joe Girardi.
Tuesday night's Yankees game against the Blue Jays has been postponed due to inclement weather that's expected to pass through the area. The Mets-Phillies game scheduled for Tuesday night at Citi Field has also been postponed.
A second-place team at No. 1? That's right -- the Atlanta Braves are hot, hot, hot.
New York, with a half-game advantage over the Baltimore Orioles, was finally going to get its veteran starter back on Tuesday. Instead, the game was postponed, and the left-hander will take the hill against Toronto on Wednesday.
