What hurts the most? Introducing the Yankee Fan Pain Index

What events create the most Yankee pain? (I'm excluding injuries, rather than give the juju gods any ideas.)

1. A blown save, (reminder of Mariano.)
.
2. A hot smash that finds an overshifted infielder, (reminder of our inflexibility.)
.
3. A big game by Jesus Montero in Seattle, (reminder of trade.)
.
4. Dearth of hitting by middle of order.
.
5. Starter bombed.
.
6. Squandering multi-hit game by Jeter.
.
7. Error by Nunez.
.
8. TIE: Ian Kennedy victory in Arizona/Austin Jackson hitting in Detroit.
.
9. Big game by AJ Burnett, (may exist only in theory.)
.
10. Seeing Freddy in bullpen.

Over and over again.
When we don't score 10 or more we usually score 3 or less.
