What the fuck your problem, Yankee fans? A-Hole tried to cheat and the turtles corrected the call. He was fucking OUT! You did not get robbed you fucking whiny little bitches. Aand now they have to clear the field because you drunken animals want to throw garbage? That’s some greta fucking role modeling for your children, motherfuckers. This is why the entire rest of North America hates the fucking Yankees. Man, I hope you guys lose this series. Fuck the Yankees. ---

That was classless behavior by everyone involved with the Yankees from Torre to the fans. I would like to give special mention to that little bitch A-Rod though. Usually when you are caught cheating you walk off the field looking a little ashamed of yourself. I would love to hear his defense of that at the post game press conference. ---

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to include the Yankkes players and coaching staff in my rant. Arrogant bastards, all of them. ---

At least the officials are conferencing and getting the calls right… ---

I was fucking disgusted by A-Rod’s cheating and then actually trying to argue his case, and I certainly have no love for Yankee fans. However, their behavior here is at least understandable. Those poor slobs in the stands don’t have the benefit of instand replay like we TV viewers do, or the benefit of years of experience and being right there on the field like the umpires do. They had no idea if the call was good or bad; all they knew was that it wasn’t going their way. I have to admit, if I was in the stands and somthing like that happened to my team, I might get angry and shout uncomplementary things at the umps just because of the emotion (though I hope I could restrain myself from throwing things onto the field). When I saw the slo-mo relplays later on the news, though, I could admit that it was a good call against my team. Probably a lot of the Yankee fans are the same way. I’ll save my rage here for that fucker A-Rod. It disgusts me that a professional baseball player would actually try to so obviously cheat. ---

Booing and yelling is one thing. I’m no saint, I’ve done my share of cursing officials at ballgames. But throwing garbage is inexcusable. Not only is it dangerous to those on the field, it’s dangerous for the people in lower decks for people upstairs who don’t have the arm to get it to the field. There are little kids that could get hit by bottles. Throwing shit is just not cool. ---

Head of security is on the field. NYPD officers, too. Boy, I hope this doesn’t end in bloodshed. ---

> [@astro](#): > > Do the play the slo-mo replays on the big screens at MLB stadiums so everyone can see? Depends. Since the home team controls the replay board, they typically won’t show a play that goes against them. I’d be surprised if that got replayed. ---

In Boston, the police in riot gear are in Kenmore Square ready for the kids coming out of the bars. In NY they are in the stadium. ---

Riot police along the sidelines!?! for the poster that asked, A-Rod was running to first base and about to be tagged out so he swiped at the pitcher’s arm and knocked the ball out of the pitcher’s glove. A-Rod was eventually called out for interference even though he argued that it was part of his normal running motion. Which it wasn’t. And now, there are riot police on the field. ---

> [@Roland Orzabal](#): > > Would somebody please explain exactly what happened, for the benefit of certain Mets fans who couldn’t care less which way this series goes? A-Rod hit a dribbler to first, with Jeter on base. Arroyo, the pitcher, picked it up and went to tag A-Rod. A-Rod slapped Arroyo’s glove, knocking the ball loose and allowing Jeter to score and A-Rod to go to second. After some discussion he was called out and Jeter was returned to first. ---

None of them looked very happy having to post along the sidelines, either. Some of them looked down-right uncomfortable or embarrassed. Or however you spell it. ---

Can you imagine the blood in the streets of the Bronx if one of the Sox hits a dinger to wrap this game up? Two of my co-workers are big-time Yankee fans, and yesterday when I went out for a second to see how the game was going I cheered a bit for the Red Sox, and they both told me to shut up. Apparently Yankee fans can’t handle the fact that they are one of the primary reasons why people hate their team. Quit being petulant, arrogant pricks.
