Wednesday (Fuel for Yankee conspiracy theorists) edition: Wha' Happened?

As sports fans in Minnesota, we have mastered the art of developing conspiracy theories as to why our teams lose -- particularly when it happens against various teams from hated New York.

The Giants won 41-donut because they were stealing our plays.

Phil Cuzzi blew that call because he wanted the Yankees to win.

And so on. If you are among those many local fans who enjoys venom against New York-based teams woven finely with a good conspiracy theory, you might very much enjoy this video clip from last night's Yankees vs. Cleveland game.

With the Yankees already up 4-0 (probably by nefarious means), a fly ball was hit toward New York left fielder Dewayne Wise. He chased the ball toward the seats, tumbled into the stands, got his glove on it ... and, well, you can watch the video and tell us if this isn't CLEAR EVIDENCE* that the Yankees get all the breaks.
