YANKEE WHIMPS! "MULTIPLE" YANKEES COMPLAIN ABOUT FAN BOOS



Hey complainers - are you new to the game? Did you not know that expectations are high here? I guess a few of you need some perspective and possibly another dose of reality.

Yup, there are some epic highs when you put on the pinstripes but there are some depressing lows also. You gotta be able to take both when you play here.... clearly some can't or maybe just don't want to. That's fine if you don't want to but you should've thought about that before putting on the uniform. So, the story HERE says "multiple" Yankees are not happy with all of the boos in Yankee stadium.... go call the wambulance! 

Look, I'm not one that looks to "boo" players on my team and I don't practice doing it but I also don't get so uptight about it if someone else wants to do it. Yankees, if you don't want to hear the boos then don't strike out a million times against the ASSTROS. It's really that simple. I feel no need to boo Aaron Judge, but as great as he was during the regular season he fell flat in the postseason. The entire team did....and when that happens a restless fan base that hasn't played in a World Series since 2009 is bound to be brutally honest.

And that's what the Yankees got a "brutal experience" from a fan base that has high expectations. We don't apologize for it. Any player who can't handle it needs to pull up their training pants and go play for a team like the Pirates who have no expectations. That's a stress-free job. New York isn't for everyone, we know this, but we aren't going to change our expectations either.


So this idea that fan culture could affect Judge or any other player from wanting to sign here doesn't make me want to feel sorry for anyone. If you are soft.... this probably isn't a fit for you.

And players aren't the only people in the Yankee organization to be critical of because Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone are no exception. They also have not delivered, and they have had a long time to prove themselves. It hasn't happened so the outcry for a change shouldn't be surprising.... but it is for some apparently. The article continues with "the gap between industry and fan perceptions of Cashman and Boone is particularly striking. Rivals consider Cashman one of the greatest executives in sports and say that Boone will immediately become a coveted free agent if the Yankees fire him. Other GMs and agents are genuinely baffled by fan hate toward those two."


Please....anyone else take Cashman and Boone, go for it. If people are really baffled by why fans are disenchanted with wither of these men, then I question how much baseball you have watched over the years.

Oh, and then there's this: "the irrational opinions on Cashman and Boone. I get that it’s World Series or bust but damn they’re spoiled." That is pretty rich considering it's been BUST for a long time, especially against some of our biggest rivals. So much for having standards, especially for a team that spends boatloads of money.

I won't apologize for having expectations for a franchise with a rich history. That history needs to be brought back to the present. These players and so-called executives need to quit their whining....or hit the road.
