I'm not a hardcore baseball fan, but why would the Yankees win be the top story? There not leading the division or the wild card race, so what gives? That's the biggest story of the day?
How about the A's winning streak? Or Leo Mazilli getting fired? Or how about the Red Sox winning to maintain their lead? You get the picture.
Why would a team winning a game to avoid being swept the lead story???

Gary Sheffield insinuated that Derek Jeter and A-Rod are not the leaders of the Yankees.
He never mentions them by name in an explosive story set to run on Monday, and he doesn't say many nice things about his team. ''I ain't going to say who it is (leaders), but I know who it is. I know who the team feeds off. I know who the opposing team comes in knowing they have to defend to stop the Yankees.'' He also accused the media of portraying the two superstars ''in a positive light and everyone else is garbage.'' He also said some things about family, that are sure to fire George Steinbrenner up. ''It's not a family-oriented team. In L.A., wives can fly on the plane; with the Yankees they can't,'' the former Dodger said. ''With other teams, the wives always have functions to bring them together. Not here.'' He also said he doesn't have to ''speak to anyone in the organization to still do my job.''' After this, he probably doesn't have to worry about that. Rotoworld
Why they are leading off SportsCenter is anyone's guess. And, please test Giambi right away.
If he wasn't batting in front of the best player in the AL, does anyone think he'd still be putting up the numbers he is the past couple of years? He's a malcontent, and a whiner. Jeter is NY's baby, and Arod is, well, Arod. His precious ego can't handle being down on the totem pole?
What a big baby.

he also pulls the race card..........AGAIN. Here is the story
Race Remarks at the End of Story
Remember these Chuck Norris Facts
1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down
2. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday
3. There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris
He complains that Jeter and Arod get so much attention, and everyone else is, as he says, 'garbage'. Huh? How many players have the media forced down the throats of the American sports public? It's a ridiculous claim to say that the media only cares about Jeter and Arod.
He says, "I'm used to having six chairs around me, but here if there are six chairs, then there's going to be 20 reporters.'' So you're mad because people aren't sitting around you, kissing up to you, making you feel like a hero?
Then him bringing out the race card? Real classy Sheff. If he's that unhappy, if it's such a bad atmosphere, why did he push for a contract extension?
DECAY FROM WITHIN !!!!!!!!!!!!
SYMPTOMATIC OF THE FALL OF THE EVIL EMPIRE....any empire
After being UMPED out of the game last night, couldn't happen to a better group.
They can audit their paystubs while watching the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
If I were a White Sox, Cardinals, or Angels fan, I'd be even more pi**ed that the Yanks get all the ESPN press....if you care about that thing.
But hey, gotta pay the bills!
