And He Calls Himself A Yankees Fan

“Thank God I’m a Redneck from Baltimore”
More from NYPost’s Joel Sherman on the demise of the Yankees:
In the first two games, the Red Sox, minus the injured J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell, still forced starters Andy Pettitte and Ponson to throw 190 pitches to record 28 outs while allowing 10 runs on 13 hits. Boston no longer has Yankees killer Manny Ramirez, but Jason Bay has replaced him. Bay has six RBIs in this series – or as many as an entire lineup that has Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, Bobby Abreu and Damon, Hideki Matsui and Robinson Cano. Jason Giambi homered leading off the ninth, and with the Yanks losing 11-2 at the time.
This Yankees offense mimics Hank Steinbrenner, more bluster than action. Yammerin’ Hank attended a home game last night for the first time since the season opener. The absentee owner blustered some more before game time, promising changes for next year. At least this time surrender was the right motif. The 2008 season is like the Stadium: History.
