In case you've been too caught up in the NHL playoffs to notice (and I sense that you have), Your New York Yankees started May by finishing up a sweep. Uh, that is, they got swept. By the Tigers at Yankee Stadium. So as you'd expect, I was reading about it while masturbating profusely this morning.
Until I got to this passage:
It was the seventh inning of Detroit’s 8-4 victory over the struggling, injury-weakened Yankees on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium. Fans began to flee
from the chilly rain following a two-run home run by the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera.
Suddenly, a broom with a long red handle sailed from the upper deck to the ground in front of the Yankees’ dugout. Such events sometimes occur when the home team sweeps a three-game series and the fans gloat.
But it is rare for a team to be taunted that way in its own ballpark, even when it drops three consecutive games to the visitors, as the Yankees did.
So, after the first month of the season Yankees fans are not only giving up on the team (who are all of 3.5 games behind Boston for first place in the division), but are attempting to humiliate them in their home park.

I acknowledge the above picture has nothing to do with this story, but it makes me wet my pants just looking at it.
