Why have the Yankees and the Rays switched positions? Why are the Yankees now in the cellar and the Rays are sitting in first or second in the AL East?
The Yankees did it to themselves during spring training. They woke up and ignited the Rays, to their detriment.
The Rays got charged up right after retard Shelley Duncan intentionally spiked Akinori Iwamura in the thigh for "retaliation" of the Rays legitimate run-in into a Yankee's catcher during a home plate play during just a spring training game. If it had been any other team or even the Yankees that ran into the catcher at home plate, we would never had heard anything more about it. But Girardi has taken over the Yankees to lead it like a bully, and we all know that Girardi either instigated that retaliation or supported it, and certainly did nothing to suppress retaliation and calm the players down with some leadership, like Maddon.
It was wrong to retaliate against the Rays like that in just Spring Training, and the Yankees have enough class to know it. Notwithstanding, it was a major team turning point for the Rays - no longer to be the doormat, no longer to take that horse excrement from the Yankees or anyone else in MLB, they have since been playing with fire in their belly, and continue to do so.
Thanks Shelly Duncan.

The Ortiz shirt being planted in cement was just a diversion. I'm just sorry it was Jeter on the cover - I admire him - he is pure class.
