There is a reason for that because fan can't play. The players have more respect for each other than some of fans have themselves. Fans sit in stands, players are on the field.

Although in the 1st inning, after Vazquez walked Torii Hunter, I heard someone a section over yell, "go back to where you came from". I thought that was a lil harsh. And kinda early for it, too. I mean, the guy hadn't even surrendered any runs yet. Personally, I think Vazquez will be fine. I'm predicting 13 wins for him. I didn’t hear any booing at the game, either.

But that cuts both ways. If he continues pitching like this, and I wasn't at all impressed with him today, I don't want to hear about how good he was in 2009.

Vazquez may have written the last chapter, but he wasn't the primary author. I can think of at least 3 or 4 others to whom I'd assign more blame. Personally, I am not a fan of booing anyone who is giving a full effort. I don't see the point. [18] I don’t think it’s fair to say Vazquez was the “author” of the 2004 collapse.

It feels as if the natural order has been restored and a more positive outlook has returned. Of course, the Yankees haven't hit a tough stretch yet, but I really believe winning another World Series has removed a lot of the Red Sox fan-type pessimism.

It wasn't a very vocal crowd either way, so maybe any audible response was magnified. One other crowd related observation...in each Arod AB over the first two games there wasn't a single comment about his ability to come through in the clutch. In past seasons, there would always seem to be at least one moron would preface every Arod with the same tired comments. Now, those people have nothing left to say.
