Way to go, Yankee fans!

The Yankees might actually lose a playoff game to the Red Sox. The Yankees might actually lose a playoff series to the Red Sox.

Apparently convinced that a 2-run 8th-inning lead is insurmountable for the team that has 60-something comeback wins this season, Yankee fans express their dismay by throwing trash on the field and risking a forfeit.

This all occurred ostensibly in protest of an umpire call on the ARod karate chop play, but that was not even an incorrect call.

Spoiled, crybaby fans like that don't deserve to revel in the delight of a ninth-inning comeback or a game seven victory.

My friend Dave thinks that the blood in Curt Schilling's sock broke the curse. Since it's a red sock.

Dave's kooky enough, and one time he passed out in the bleacher bathroom at Yankee Stadium; and one time he mocked a SF Giants fan with the chant "Bar-ry" even though Barry Bonds had hit a 500-foot hr earlier in the game; and one time he made me literally eat my shoe (not the whole thing) when Gary Ward hit a hr; and one time he dressed up his five-year-old sister in a hockey mask told her to be the "catcher"; but Dave would never throw trash on the field.
