Blame it on the boos? According to one anonymous player, the unhappy home vibes may have contributed to New York being swept out of the ALCS.
The Yankees. The Celtics. The Lakers. The Canadiens. The Steelers. The Packers. Go on and on. Every sports dynasty loses. It happens.
Go ahead. Admit it. It's OK. You knew it was going to end like this, the Yanks and their life-support offense betrayed by ace CC Sabathia when they needed him most.
Many think -- some even hope -- that Alex Rodriguez's time in the Bronx in over. Don't tell that to A-Rod, who vowed to return to the Yankees after Thursday's ALCS-ending defeat to the Tigers.
Boomer and Craig opened up this 'morning after' edition of the Extravaganza by talking about the Yankees' failure to show up for Game 4, their struggles throughout the series and trying to figure out exactly who is to blame...
Max Scherzer capped a stupendous stretch for Detroit's starting rotation, and the Tigers advanced to the World Series for the second time in seven years by beating the New York Yankees 8-1 Thursday for a four-game sweep of the AL championship series.
The Yankees kept their lineup the same as it would have been on Wednesday — with Rodriguez on the bench for the third time in nine postseason games. A-Rod is 3-for-23 with no RBIs in these playoffs.
Add A-Rod's disappointing postseason to those of years past, sprinkle in a dose of "Flirtgate," a dash of wild trade rumors, and you get a recipe for speculation.
According to a report, the three-time AL MVP has told close friends that he won't stand in the way of a trade. It would have to be the right situation, however. The veteran will only accept a trade to a big-market team, the report said.
"He'll be ready when he's ready," general manager Brian Cashman said. "I believe that Dr. Anderson just put in a more conservative time frame on it, as explained to me."
If New York manages to storm back from a 3-0 series deficit, it won't be CC Sabathia on the hill for a deciding Game 7. Blame it on the rain.
Game 4 of the AL championship series between the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees has been postponed by bad weather in the area -- although Comerica Park itself was still dry when the game was called.
Derek Jeter had scans on Sunday which confirmed the fracture. He has not accompanied the Yankees in Detroit. His recovery was initially expected to take three months, but that timetable is now longer.
Alex Rodriguez has been benched again by manager Joe Girardi, who also dropped center fielder Curtis Granderson from the starting lineup while trying to avoid elimination on Wednesday.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has denied that such a trade has been discussed, and other sources have said that talks between the Bombers and the Miami Marlins are premature at best.
The Yankees simply have virtually nobody who can hit. Down three games to none after a 2-1 defeat to Detroit, the Yankees are down and out. The fall has been quick and precipitous.
CC Sabathia inspires belief. And that's exactly what the Yankees are in desperate need of going into Game 4 of the ALCS down 3-0.
Tim Leuzarder said he wasn't entirely sure the ball came from A-Rod, but it sure seemed that way.
WFAN co-host Craig Carton let A-Rod have it -- and he was just getting started. Yankees sluggers? More like Yankees slumpers.

Justin Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 Tuesday night for a 3-0 lead in the AL championship series.
It's the second time that A-Rod has been benched this postseason. He's 3-for-26 in the playoffs so far, and is 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handers.
"I just have to go out there and pitch, that's all it boils down to," Hughes said. "(I can't) really worry about being down 0-2 or that Verlander is on the mound or that we don't have our captain. Those sorts of things are going to be wasted energy."
