We all know he plays through extreme injuries and pain. We all know he’s a true Yankee Warrior. But what about Jeter’s pinky? What about THE PINKY, Joe?!

“During batting practice a ground ball nipped his finger, the right pinky, but he is OK,” Girardi tells the Post.

Okay, take a deep breath. That was a close one…. Still, if The Captain gets off to a slow start this year, we’re definitely blaming it on the pinky. Got that YES? The right pinky.

• Desperate to do anything to win his bet with Jeter and Abreu, Hideki Matsui has apparently married a sketch of a woman. Stranger still is this advice from Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura: “…I would advise him to keep both eyes open before the marriage and afterwards keep one shut.”

No word yet on how this will affect Matsui’s swing.

• When Hank Steinbrenner says, “It seems like in this country nowadays anybody can make an accusation against anybody, and it’s all over the country all of a sudden,” is he referring to himself?

• And, in a ritual that has become as predictable as Opening Day itself, Michael Kay has once again picked the Yankees to win the World Series. It’s not that he’s a homer or anything like that. It just so happens that he honestly believes the Yanks have the best team every single year. Right?

Have you seen the latest pictures of the new ballpark yet? It’s everything a die-hard Yankee fan could hope for. Why we hear there is even going to be a museum. Here’s an artist’s rendering of the Derek Jeter wing, which will one day feature The Captain’s mummified remains as its centerpiece! Wow, they really thought of everything, didn’t they.

Andy Pettitte was scratched from another start and let’s face it Yankee Land, it’s pretty obvious by now that this guy needs HGH to stay healthy. The good news is that he only requires one or two doses and heck, they don’t even test for it. Nobody wants to help the team more than Andy and he doesn’t believe that it’s wrong to use it. And it’s so easy to get - why even your father might have some lying around. So why not?

When will potential staff ace Joba Chamberlain ever become a starting pitcher?

“I’m not saying this year, but I would say in the future,” says Joe Girardi.

Sure Joe. Just take it slowly with the kid. Protect the arm. No hurry. The team doesn’t really need an unhittable ace, does it.

Helping the families and friends of innocent victims of tragedy is always a good thing.

That is why we are eager to see how supportive the Yanks will be with Fredia Ann Veitch’s two children and family in the wake of her tragic death. You may recall that she was killed when a drunken Jim Leyritz crashed his SUV into her vehicle last December.

Helping a college recover from tragedy is noble. Helping when one of your own causes the tragedy is mandatory.

The Joe Girardi era takes another black eye as soon-to-be convicted manslaughterer Jim Leyritz stops in for a visit and a hug with the Yankees skipper.

“All of us have done things we probably regret,” says Joe.
Like killing someone while driving under the influence?

So less than a week after Duncan’s retaliatory slide, Joe is all about forgiveness, eh?

So welcome to the Girardi Era: A hard-nosed play at the plate is met with bush-league retaliation, Billy Crystal is batting lead off, and Duncan still can’t figure out what he did wrong sliding into second. Now Girardi may be suspended for Opening Day, which would be a fitting start for a team that appears to be in the throes of an identity crisis.

Joe Girardi is a hero for arguing for his injured backup catcher… in spring training… against the Rays?
