While I thought the moment was a horrible reflection of our fans, how the hell would they know what actually happened? It probably looked like the umps just called him out.
And while I'm on the subject, why was Jeter sent back to first? The play was a fielder's choice and ARod was rightly called out for interference. Jeter should have been sent to second. Is there some rule that says when there is interference, all runners must be sent back to where they were before the play started?
And another thing: Why the FUCK weren't Jeter and 8 other Yankees bunting from the first inning on? You see a weakness and you exploit it. If Schilling can't field his position, he doesn't belong on the field and you need to know that on the first damn pitch. Hell, isn't that how he reaggravated the injury in the first place? What the fuck?
And let me just get back to Posada for a second. Remember when I said he needs to learn how to corral the plate? Well, last night is a perfect example. Runner on second, Lieber throws a sinker in the dirt that hits Posada in the chest while he's trying to short-hop it. Has he ever actually practiced catching? Get down, lean forward and keep the fucking ball in front of you. Runner is on third. Lieber, probably having no confidence in Posada's ability to block a pitch in the dirt, dishes up a fastball to Bellhorn (who has been completely lost and strikes out more often than Hank at a fat chicks convention) who hits a three run homer (the difference in the game). Pathetic.
The Sox have played their hearts out. The Yankees have looked arrogant and overconfident -- like we should just be handed the pennant. If Boston wins, they deserve it. Without a real showing of some actual fight tonight, if the Yankees lose, they deserve it too.
