The comments on the Lo-Hud blog are hilarious today. The Yanks have been getting the better end of umpiring calls for at least a decade vs. most other teams... these fans are spoiled rotten with entitlement; don't see them even acknowledging when a bad call goes their way. I thought the way Girardi acted about this was really immature and unprofessional, and his team followed suit. Also, the stealing calls BS? That's your f'n problem if we are able to see your signs, not against the rules big baby. But totally inappropriate to threaten retaliation, which IS against the rules... Drew getting drilled after this threat was literally verbalized by a manager is evidence for some suspensions in my opinion.

Can't believe stadium employees told fans that the game was rained out, or even that there was "almost no chance" that the game would be played. On YES they were telling us that it's supposed to be just as bad tonight, if not worse, and they would make every effort to get the game in due to the difficulty of potentially having to reschedule TWO games. But I guess they have different motives: stadium employees benefit from fewer fans, less work, while YES wants to keep people tuned in as long as possible.
 

I heard the Eck complaining about Papelbon not wasting pitches in the ninth, when he had 0-2 counts, so you are not the only one who has a problem with it!
