Yankees sneered at here*

 (*Especially their asswagon fans.)

(*But also the Yankees.)

I know, I know, I KNOW. I'm just jealous. I despise the Yankees only because my Pittsburgh Cruds are so, well, cruddy, and I would give anything to be able to root for a team with 27 world championships and all that rich history and the monuments out there beyond center field, and EFFING PINSTRIPES, BABY.

Yeah, maybe. 

But they're still a bunch of cheaters.

And their fans are still asswagons.

Only asswagons would throw crap at opposing players right after the Yankees had beaten them on a walkoff hit. That's what the brain cell deficient Yankees fans in center field did Saturday to Cleveland players. Then they subjected Cleveland center fielder Myles Straw to more abuse the next day after Straw said, rightly, that Yankees fans were garbage.

"Worst fan base on the planet," he said -- and if that perhaps gives short shrift to Philly fans ("Hey! We suck, too!" you can hear them protesting), it was close enough for government work.

As for the cheating part, well ... a couple of days after the asswagons did their thing, it came out that Yankees players had been using instant replay to determine pitch sequence, then passing that information to baserunners, who in turn passed it on to the batter at the plate.

In all fairness, the Yankees weren't the only ones doing this at the time. And they apparently stopped after MLB commissioner Manfred Mann, er, Rob Manfred issued a stern warning about it.

Still, the Yankees were doing it. And the Blob's reaction to that is, well, of course. They're the Yankees.

And their fans are their fans.

Which is to say, not quite up to snuff on the evolutionary scale.
