Covering the Yankees since 1842, we are the Sons of Kevin Brown. We believe that Derek Jeter is some kind of modern day living deity. We believe that Alex Rodriguez must hit 1.200 or he deserves to get booed mercilessly. We believe that EVERY ONE of our prospects will grow to become bonafide superstars. But most importantly we believe in the Yankees in 2008!

Yankee fans - masters of misplaced blame

Another embarrassing moment for Yankee fans this afternoon.

In the bottom of the ninth, Derek Jeter (owner of an OPS+ of 100, VORP of 26.1, salary of 21 million in 2008) grounds into a double play with the winner run on 2nd and one out. Walks off the field with little fan attention.

In the bottom of the tenth, Alex Rodriguez (owner of an OPS+ of 161, VORP of 54, salary of 30 million in 2008) strikes out with no runners on and one out. Walks off the field being booed loudly and angrily.

Keep up the good work, idiots.

Talk about it in the NYYSI Forums!
