I'm a Yankees fan and this stuff is rediculous. Sure the runner was out, but it was a banger. Joe was probably blocked by F4 recieving the thrown in front of the bag. It was a bad throw by Posada, so maybe they didn't even deserve an out.
Joe West didn't give up hits to the next two batters, why isn't anyone blaming the pitcher?
Then later in the game, Posada was called safe at first on a double play ball. He was out by a quarter of a step. But you don't here Yankees fans crying about that.
Then Jeter gets strikes 2 and 3 called on him to end the game. After strike two he told Wilcox "that was off the plate" as he returned to his side of the plate. Next pitch, same spot (maybe a cm more outside) and Wilcox rang him up. Overhead look showed the pitch probably just clipping the black on the outside corner.
You're down 5 runs, 1-2 pitch, close, and you're not swinging! Whose fault is that!
Yankee fans and players in general (not myself) need to get a grip and realize that the team is just not that good. Stop making excuses, and maybe then they'll get better.
