You just got Schilled!

Final Score: Red Sox 9, Yankees 3

I took great pleasure in watching last night's disaster of a game, with the Yankees losing patheticly to the Red Sox 9-3.I happened to be at the game last night and watched all the goombah Yankee fans sitting smug in their seats, smiling with their team leading 3-1. I guess these idiot Yankee fans forgot that Jaret Wright was pitching this game and it was a matter of time before he works his magic and hands the game to the other team. But, while Wright did do just that last night, he did not work alone...

Thanks to Gay-Rod, the Red Sox would not only come back to tie, but also blow the game wide open after his poor attempt to field a ground ball hit by Alex Gonzalez. But, Gay-Rod wouldn't want you to believe that:

"He hit it with topspin which made it trickier for me," said Rodriguez. "It's a play I could make if I'm lucky."

If you're lucky? What is he talking about? You are a former Gold Glove winner! That ball was moving about as fast as Big Papi running down the first base line. I know that many past Yankee third basemen could have fielded that play as if it was nothing: Wade Boggs. Charlie Hayes. Graig Nettles. Scott Brosius. Miguel Cairo. Hell, you could have brought back former Yankee one-armed pitcher Jim Abbott and he would have knocked down the ball, do-the-tricky-Jim-Abbott-switch-of-the-glove-trick, and thrown the guy out at first. But what does Gay-Rod do? He lays down on his side, like a cat playing with a toy, before the ball even comes close to him, and misses the ball. Mr. $25 million/year, we Yankee Haters thank you.

Some items of interest from the game last night:

- Yankee fans just don't get it: After having a slight lead on the Red Sox, and Gay-Rod botching the easy ground ball, the Red Sox were up 9-3 in the 7th inning. Yet, this didn't stop the Yankee fans from chanting "Red Sox Suck." If your team is playing like crap and the opposing team has a six run lead, why chant something like that? If the Red Sox suck, yet are spanking you, at least come up with a better chant.

- The "Greatest Fans On Earth" seem to think the game ends at the top of the 7th inning: When the final nail was put in the coffin by Varitek blasting a 3-run home run off Scott Proctor, these "Greatest Fans on Earth" started their routine "Largest Mass Exodus from a Stadium on Earth." Guess they had to get back home to Jersey early - before the local drug stores ran out of hair grease and wife beater shirts. Way to stay for your team, morons.

- Yankee fans turn on one another: After the constant ejections of various Yankees and Red Sox fans for mixing it up, the few remaining Yankee fans at the game needed to flex their muscles and decided to turn on themselves and fight one another. Quite an interesting sight. But I'm not surprised given that these "Greatest Fans on Earth" are the same fans who booed Jeter and Rivera a couple of years ago (two guys who have helped carry that team for years) when they were in a slump. That slot has now been taken by Gay-Rod, which couldn't possibly make me happier.

So where does that leave us? Boston is a 1/2 game behind the Yankees...that will soon change. The Yankees face the Athletics and their young arms this weekend. Toronto is 2 1/2 behind the Yankees and the Tigers and White Sox are still playing well. Boston wins the AL East, one of the teams from the AL Central captures the wild card. No room in that equation for the Yankees.

Like this blog title states, the Yankees won't make the playoffs. Stop fighting between yourself idiot Yankee fans, you'll have all of October to do that while watching other teams compete in the playoffs.
