Yankees.......A bunch of whiners

U gotta be kidding me. Yeah, A-rod was definately doing an acting job, but to call the Yankees whiners is just absurd. A-rod might have sacrificed his class for his team. Yes, it might have cost some credibility points with umpires which is important in future. But this is a part of game. Haven't we seen the oscar winning show by Maradona, Beckham and even Jordan etc? He had to defeat it as one of the umpire had already given him the Safe call (without him touching the base plate) and it could've meant a possible run (without an out). What Yankee fans did was justifiable. First they want the umpires to be leanient towards their team. Second they didn't see exactly if A-Rod hit Arroyo's hand purposely or not. I didn't see it the first time and I was watching via precise Television Cameras. Call overturns are treated seriously by everybody and to have a call overturn without sufficient proof (only one umpire saw it and they don't get to review replays in baseball) is a big deal. At the end, nobody whined or cried like Red Sox normally do, humor intended.
