The New York Yankees fans, in my extremely biased but
extremely humble opinion, are the greatest fans in the world… as long as the
team is winning. When the team is not winning, even if they have won the 19
games in a row prior to the losing, the team is revolting. Especially lately.
Fire Girardi. Fire Cashman. Trade this person, never let that person into the
lineup. Magic Number is ONE and the team is going to miss the playoffs. The
Wild Card is all of a sudden not even a playoff game anymore but when the
Yankees were on the outside looking in for the 2013 and 2014 postseason chases
it was a playoff series that some would have given their first born to see.
Make up your mind Yankees fans because you’re embarrassing yourselves and
you’re embarrassing the rest of the fan base.
The fans inside Yankee Stadium have been virtually
non-existent. I realize the prices are astronomical, the threat of rain tends
to keep people away and the fact that the team is struggling doesn’t inspire as
many to go out to the ball park, fight the traffic in and out of the place and
to spend 100 bucks, easy, on food, drinks and parking. I get it, what I don’t
get is the fact that the crowd is so quiet. I don’t want to hear that the YES
cameras aren’t picking up the cheers or the new stadium vs. the old stadium
argument because those same cameras and those same fans in the new stadium were
quite vocal and audible when they were booing a 40-year old DH who is leading
the team in home runs earlier in the week.
The team knows they stink right now, booing doesn’t help.
Sitting on your hands and not cheering doesn’t help. Not showing up doesn’t
help. Support your team, we’re put on this Earth to build people up when they
need it most not tear them down. WE are better than this Yankees family and we
need to start acting like it, and I mean now.
Blue Jays fans are laughing at us right now. Mets fans are laughing at us. Orioles fans hate us.
