"And let's wait to hear the Yankees whine about all the calls that went against them tonight..."
Oh trust me firsthand, I know...I was watching the game with a Yankee fan tonight (I am neutral cause I am a Braves fan) and he was throwing stuff on that call and got mad at me for agreeing with the umps call. He left immediately after the game, pissed off. It was not a pretty sight.
F-em is my response. The rule book says you are not allowed to swat at the fielder's glove. A-Rod did a major queen slap with his left hand on Arroyo. And, the home run was legit. The Yanks are too good of a team to need to win on bad calls.
That's because Yankee fans are not real baseball fans, just bandwagon-jumping drunken yahoos who don't even know the rules of baseball. They pay a week's salary for a ticket just so Steinbrenner can keep buying his way into the Series and the fans can congratulate themselves for backing an over-dog.
How anybody could argue with the interference call tonight is beyond me. Total bush league play, worthy of the bush league Yankee fans who trash the field when they don't agree with an umpire's perfectly reasonable and correct call.
