How do you draw a line on what is just gamesmanship, and what is just flat out cheating. To me, Derek Jeter cheated last night. He pretended his hand was hit, he played it up. He told a lie. He cheated. That is not gamesmanship, that is flat out cheating.

Now if the ump said take your base, and he did. I would have no problem with it. But he pretended his hand was hit. Not even the hand that was on the bat. How in the world can someone say that is just gamesmanship?

It's within the confines of the game.
