The idiot Yankee fans are doing this to themselves. Regardless of the price, which is in many ways a transparent cost to the fanbase that constantly fills up Yankee Stadium, the team has one of the five best players in all of baseball. And he's having a bit of an off year - still a pretty damn good year, though. And he keeps getting booed. And he keeps getting outed in the papers for suntanning in Central Park. And he keeps speaking up about it all instead of avoiding the media. And he keeps carrying himself properly instead of acting out in the way that it just must be *so* tempting to do right now.
And the Yankee fans just keep piling on, too blindly stupid and arrogant to realize that they're either going to ruin this guy or get him run out of town, getting the franchise literally pennies on the dollar in return.
Sometimes, having 26 World Championships (tm) and being the most storied franchise in the history of sports (tm) isn't a good thing.
By the way, there's a great line by Lupica in here about what ol' Shrub will be most remembered for.
This President will be remembered as much for his war against stem-cell research as he is for his war in Iraq.
