Yes, because ESPN is anti-yankee, the yankees suck. It's just normal media logic. People love to see things they hate, thats why on the national news all you hear about is iraq, car accidents, people dieng, you know, the bad stuff. No one wants to watch poeple being nice, going around giving candy to kids at a retard center, or doing community service, or hear a 5 minute news report about a guy who donated money to cancer funds. SAme with ESPN. People hate the yankees, therefore they hate to see the yankees win. If people hate to see the yankees win, ESPN will lean that way and be anti yankee and show yankee loses first. If the sox become hated you would see the same. Anti red sox programs, yankee glorifying episodes of baseball tonight, etc.
