According to Tyler Kepner’s blog over at the New York Times:
The Yankees watched the end of Schilling’s game in the clubhouse Thursday afternoon. When Shannon Stewart broke up the no-hitter, the room erupted in cheers, players bursting from their seats and shouting.
Now, he wasn’t writing about Yankees fans. That I would absolutely understand. The Yankees players acted this way. The same team that applauded from the dugout in 2005 when Yankee Stadium showed the Red Sox losing to the White Sox in the ALDS.
Yankees fans and players can talk all they want about how the rivalry doesn’t mean as much to them as it does Boston. But actions like these prove otherwise. The Yankees have such an inferiority complex this season that they resort to this kind of activity? I guess I understand, now, why Slappy is becoming the king of the cheap play. It’s the way of the team, regardless of what Joe Torre says. It’s very telling and will just make it all that much sweeter when they suffer yet another disappointing post-season.
How the mighty have fallen. Absolutely pathetic boys.
