Sorry for being so blunt. Jeter tends to crowd the plate when he's up at bat, and leans in quite a bit (which may have something to do with why he gets hit a lot, although I prefer to blame the jealousy and pettiness of opposing pitchers). Therefore, quite often there is the Jeter "butt shot" during a game.

However, seeing the Yankees lose by such an awful lot yesterday, to the Mets no less, just made me miserable. I'm from NY, and I really am not anti-Mets the way that some Mets fans are anti-Yankees, but we have friends who are rabid Mets fans and they will gloat and gloat over this win.
