MYLES STRAW IGNITED THE BRONX CIRCUS


You win a game with class. You respect your opponent. You play to win but win with integrity. Those are things I learned as a kid growing up playing baseball.  

As a fan there is always a degree of razzing. That's also part of the game, and when it comes to pro games, there should be nothing different. You pay your hard-earned money to root and boo how you choose... but how you choose, WITHIN REASON.

Here's a question. Why the hell were the fans throwing crap at Cleveland Indians after the Yankees won today? Why is that OK? Well... it's not. 

But here's another question.  When teams play to win and teams tie the game up, fans get rowdy right? Nornal. But is it normal for a player to literally CLIMB THE FENCE TO SAY SHIT AT THE FANS?

So let's break this down...

Fans throw shit on the field after the Yankees win, but before that, Straw from the Indians forgot that he's in the Bronx and decides that he's gonna tame an entire Yankee crowd. So he climbs the fence and trash talks a few of them face to face with the entire world watching. Does he consider that being noble? Being tough?  


Myles Straw is a player from out of town. Act like you've been there before!  Straw acted like a child, and no doubt ignited the entire showering of trash on the baseball field after the walk off win by the Yankees. Straw should have never climbed the fence and trashed talked fans back to them after the Yankees tied the game. 

You want to talk about context? That's context. But let's take it further...

Why do many Yankee fans get trashy? Why, as a fan would you throw shit on the field? Why don't you celebrate the win with some integrity and class and walk out the stadium door singing New York, New York? Today didn't have to be so damn trashy. But who do you blame? I don't necessarily blame the fans. I get what they were trying to do. It was a signal to Myles Straw and friends... "You watch your ass; this is the Bronx." 

Now the problem with that is we got to go to Cleveland eventually. And our players are going to get shit on when we go, because real baseball fans do NOT forget. Cleveland fans are great. But they love their team. So, God forbid Judge gets a beer can to the head in Cleveland's outfield... don't act like you're surprised. Us Bronx diehards? We did that. Yes, we should have mocked Straw... laughed at him... taunted him... but we should have stopped there!  Throwing stuff at players after a win is about as disgusting as it gets... and by doing that, we just put our team in harm's way. We're better than that.

Myles Straw's best move right now is to acknowledge that he was a moron climbing the fence and inciting violence. Saying "Worst fan base on the planet" referring to us Yankee fans, isn't true, but not only that.... it only means he doesn't understand loyalty. 

But what's worse is what could now happen to our Yankees when they go to Cleveland.  And I blame the fans for that.  We're idiots for throwing stuff. Those guys throwing trash? they're only thinking about themselves. They're weak and stupid.

Straw needs to get a life... this is true. Us Yankee fans? We need to remember what integrity is. We've forgotten.

P.S. I know they're the Guardians now. But I hate it. Bleeding Yankee Blue will continue to call the Cleveland Indians, Indians. Guardians doesn't work for me.
