I Can’t Help but Fall in Love With These Yankees DBags Defending Their Turf

If you don’t love these Yankees fans, pick your ass because you got your panties in a bunch. I love these douche bags. Anything goes in the playoffs. Win at all costs. It’s an elimination game. Ball comes into the stands you have just as much of a right to it as the guy on the field does. It just so happens these two Yankees fans forgot that there are a million cameras in the stadium during the playoffs and when you’re trying to force a fumble someone’s going to catch it:

Everything about these guys is great! The double chin, the one guy a couple seats down from him who had on a sliding mitt on like Aaron Boone was about to call him to pinch run, the quotes after the game about D’ing up their space. All of it!

Swap the blue pinstripes for some red ones and these guys are one of ours:

People want to complain like “if a Phillies fan did this blah blah blah.” Absolutely it’d be national news. Because we fucking rule. Not many fanbases can drive talk shows and blogs. Show me a fanbase starved for a championship that wouldn’t have a plan in place if the ball came into the stands. If this happened in CBP and a Phillies fan backed away he deserves to be called a pussy for the rest of eternity. Your favorite team is about to get swept and you’re going to run and hide? Anyone comes in your space you make them remember. You don’t think Mookie’s head is going to be on a swivel the rest of the series? It’s mental warfare. This is what the Bronx used to be. It had this aura around it where teams were scared to come and play. Now it’s nothing but a bunch of suits and people who look like the Costco guys.

My dad told me a story once about attending a game during the Subway Series where he saw a foul ball land a couple rows in front of him. Yankees fans swarmed it, one of them threw his arm in between the seat-fold and the back of it, secured the ball, but Yankees fans wouldn’t let him get up until he dropped it. They started crushing one of their own’s arm using the seat-fold as a weapon. All of this for a foul ball. That’s how you win 27 championships, folks.

And the best part is the situation was handled, those guys were kicked out, no one was hurt, and Mookie Betts didn’t even give a shit enough to talk about it after the game:

The Yankees won and it looks like the fans will be back in their seats for Game 5, according to Jesse Rogers at ESPN:

Capobianco and Peter were escorted out of Yankee Stadium but said they were told they would be allowed back for Game 5 on Wednesday. The Yankees did not immediately respond to ESPN’s request for comment regarding if that was indeed the case.

“I know when I’m in the wrong and as soon as I did it, I was like, ‘Boys I’m out of here,'” Capobianco told ESPN. “I patrol that wall and they know that.”

In a world where no one wants to be held accountable anymore I gotta give it up to this  Capobianco guy. It’s his job to patrol that wall, but he knows when he fucked up. Can’t teach that.

Is it a hot take if I actually think the Dodgers fan who interfered in Game 1 is more of a dumbass than these guys?

That’s blatant dumbass-ness. Guy reached over the wall by two feet and almost cost his team the game.
