MAYDAY! SOS! YANKS TANK IN BOSTON

I thought the first place New York Yankees were playing the last place Red Sox this weekend. That's what the schedule called for anyways....but that's not what we watched.

We saw the opposite and we've been watching a deflated a team for a while now. The Yankees have fallen and it happened hard and fast and I'm honestly sick of it. Yes, the Yankees had a great un in the beginning of the season and the injury bug has hit us hard lately but that happens to all teams. Good teams will find a way to win instead of having a TERRIBLE road trip and went 2-7. We've won ONE games of our last 10 and lost four series in a row. This is embarrassing.

I'm frustrated after watching Michael Wacha pitch like he was Cy Young! He made the Yankees look like little leaguers. Aaron Judge went hitless in four at-bats with three strikeouts....that hurt. Then Josh Donaldson, Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres combined to go 0-for-10 with three strikeouts. 

The offense failed us again after Jameson Taillon gave up three hits over seven innings. He kept the Yankees in the game but the offense couldn't do their part as usual. At this point we are so used to seeing this, but it's not acceptable. WE looked like the last place team on the field and I am tired of that being acceptable! Not making changes to the management of this team is accepting mediocrity and I'm just tired of it!

And I am tired of listening to Aaron Boone rattle off nonsense, too. His postgame interview is an insult to baseball enthusiasts. In case you missed it, he said that we should all "take a bigger snapshot look" because "the offense has been sharp." He needs to lay off whatever he is drinking, because only he can truly believe that and be that incompetent. If the offense was that sharp, we wouldn't be on such a serious freefall. Oh and Wacha wouldn't have made such short work of the Yankees. That game lasted a whole 2 hours and 15 minutes which must make Rob Manfred really happy right now. Oh and our two hits last night....came from guys that weren't even on this team three weeks ago!

This team isn't running on all cylinders and it makes them impossible to watch. We went from World Series favorites to imploding in no time at all. It's a good thing that the Blue Jays aren't playing great baseball either so we still have a good lead....as long as the Yankees don't choke that away down the stretch.

Someone needs to stand up, be a leader and get this team back on track before it is too late.
