On Sunday afternoon in the Bronx, the New York Yankees kept their AL East hopes alive, adding thread to the rope by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in a 4-3 nailbiter. After the game, there was plenty for Jays manager John Schneider to be angry about; I'd be infuriated, too, if my All-Star lineup centerpiece struck out with a runner on second and nobody out in a one-run game against the statistical worst reliever in MLB, squashing a rally.
Schneider didn't turn his ire on his own team, though. No, no. He did what a great manager and leader of men does: call out the opposition publicly to deflect blame.
