A gentle reminder to Yankees fans everywhere that, as of this moment, their team is the losingest team in the history of New Yankee Stadium. Yesterday afternoon, in their $1.6 billion stadium debut, they got drubbed by the Cleveland Indians, 10-2. Some firsts at the new park:

• First pitch: by C.C. Sabathia, a ball, at 1:09 PM eastern time
• First batter:  Grady Sizemore, groundout to first
• First strikeout: Victor Martinez, by Sabathia, in the top of the 1st
• First Yankees batter: Derek Jeter, fly out to center
• First basehit: Johnny Damon, single, bottom of the 1st
• First extra-base hit: Ben Francisco,Cle., double in the top of the 2nd
• First run: Ben Francisco,Cle., who scored from first on a two-out double by Kelly Shoppach in the top of the 4th
• First homerun: Jorge Posada, NY, nobody on, bottom of the 5th
• First grand slam: Grady Sizemore in the top of the 7th

Not exactly names that might ring through the ages, right? Francisco is 27 and his double was the 38th of his career. Shoppach is 28 and the RBI was the 103rd of his career.

I hate the Yankees, of course, but you gotta love some of their fans in times like these. From the NY Times article on the Indians' nine-run 7th:

The inning was so bad that by the end of it, some fans shouted, “We want Swisher!” — as in Nick Swisher, the outfielder who tossed a scoreless inning in a blowout at Tampa Bay on Monday. 

May the streak continue.
