It never fails...

... Yankees fans are simply rude.

I'm sitting here wasting time rather than studying (I'm not the only one who does this every once and a while). I'm wasting it by using my new subscription to MLBtv Premium (oh la la). When the regular season starts, I'll be able to watch nearly 100 baseball games a week (no, I won't actually watch that many). I bought a subscription so I can watch M's games every once in awhile. And I sprung for the fancy-schmancy "premium" because they promise home and away video feeds, so theoretically, I'll get to hear Dave Niehaus! :-)

Because it's still spring training, and they don't broadcast many spring training games, I'm stuck watching other teams to get my baseball fix. This morning I'm watching USA vs. Yankees (there are lots of practice games between MLB teams and national teams preparing for the World Baseball Classic starting later this week).

So why this time do I say it never fails that Yankees fans are simply rude? Well there are so many reasons. Hehe. But today the reason is their shortshop fumbled a play, resulting in a run scoring. And they booed him! First of all, Yankees fans- it's spring training. Doesn't count! It's time to get the errors out of you before the season starts! And two: get a life. You are supposed to boo the other team, not your own!

The video is from my trip to Fenway last July. I know I'm supposed to be studying peace and reconciliation, but I can't reconcile with Yankee fans... but I'm happy to chant about them with thousands of other crazed fans.


Note: to put this in context, there was about to be a fight, and a Yankee player started it. Totally legit to chant that as a result. :-) And no, if you're wondering, there wasn't a fight after this. The umps were in control.
