From Tyler Kepner in the Times:
After the game, the clubhouse shook with 1980s rap music (“Mary, Mary” by Run-D.M.C.) coming from an iPod on Johnny Damon’s speaker system. It was quite unlike the Yankees, who have rarely played music in recent years, and victories in May are not often cause to let loose.
But the Yankees were enjoying their blowout, and on some level, they probably knew things could be worse. All they had to do was think about the team down the hall.
From John Hickey in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
“Playing with this team and seeing what is happening around here, I see something beginning to fall apart,” center fielder Ichiro Suzuki said. “If I was objectively watching this team and what’s been happening, I’d be drinking a lot of beer and booing.”
All you can say to that is, “What kind of beer?”
“I usually like Japanese beer,” Ichiro said. “But after this, I wouldn’t care if it was from Japan or from Papua New Guinea.”
