I think it's more of a "I knew I should have gone BEFORE I came out here..."

I smell a caption contest.

" 'we like baseball'? Why the hell would they be chanting that? Who are those guys? Why else would they be here if they didnt like baseball? What kinda candy-ass chant is that?? Are they trying to get to me? Who's side are they on damnit?"

Jobu, "we like baseball" is SO last year.

The new one, to the same rhythm, is "De-rek-Je-ter", followed by "Makes-that-ca-atch".

I disown the Jeter chant. Just because, for that split second, we're chanintg Derek Jeter.

How about filling in the Jeter with Crozier, to complement that catch he made last year.

VBF, I think you're missing the point.

Firstly you can't disown something you don't own.

Secondly, the satirical nature of the chant draws attention to how overrated Derek Jeter is in that many would assume he would perform above and beyond others in defensive situations - in actuality when one chants the aforementioned chant, one is not only decrying the poor defensive abilities of the player in question, but also drawing attention to the ridiculousness of the overrating of the said Yankees shortstop, in that one, while implying that one of the previously mentioned mindset would state that Derek Jeter makes that catch, is in fact implying the opposite.
