Nick Swisher says Yankee fans are blaming him for Derek Jeter's fractured ankle.

Swisher misplayed a ball in extra innings against the Tigers in Game 1 of the ALCS. Jeter hurt his ankle later in the inning.

"(Saturday) night was pretty big. A lot of people saying a lot of things that I've never heard before," Swisher said. "Prime example -- I missed that ball in the lights and the next thing you know, I'm the reason that (Derek) Jeter got hurt. It's kind of frustrating. They were saying it was my fault."

Swisher is struggling in the playoffs for the fourth straight season. He is 1-for-34 with runners in scoring position in his postseason career.

"It hurts," he said. "Sometimes I'm a sensitive guy and some of the things people say, they get under your skin a little bit. I've been lucky to be here for the past four years, bro. We're not going to go out like this. We're going to go to Detroit and give everything we've got."
