How'd we get here: Fatalistic Yanks fans (REDUX)
With the MSM already calling for Girardi's head before Game 6 even takes place (and lunkheads like me questioning his decisions), I'm left to wonder how we, as Yanks fans, came to be so fatalistic. [I also wonder if it's merely the local media looking to drum up drama/panic to sell papers...]
