Couldn’t happen to a more deserving team.
I was listening on MLB.com - they pulled Sabathia after 5 & 2/3rd innings (with a 1-1 tie) because he had thrown 120 pitches. I switched to the Cubs-Cards game after the Sizemore grand slam (first ever in the new stadium).
I’m a Yankee fan but this is classic.......according to Pete Abraham the crowd is chanting “We want Swisher” and they mean as a pitcher........
The house that Ruth cursed?
THis is indeed the curse of the Babe as I predicted when they first broke ground for Steinbrenner Park. They broke ground when the Yanks were up 3games to 0 to the Bosox and we saw how that turned out.
The Yankee mgmnt. kept on repeating how an era was ending..and what era that was....so welcome to the new era of the Yankees at Steinbrenner Park. The Yanks will be to MLB what the Cowboys are to the NFL; glitzy, expensive and living off past glories.
And what’s the Yankee payroll that they get manhandled by the 2 and 7 Cleveland Indians?
ha! go METS!
personally I think that all American concepts of class warfare are really rooted in Yankee hatred, but I digress...
Serves them right for tearing down The House That Ruth Built into a parking lot...here’s hoping the Curse of the Bambino is alive and well.
The Yanks have just ushered in a curse that will last longer than the Bambino’s curse on the Red Sox. HA!
As a Boston fan. Cleveland rocks!
