I'M DONE! IT'S TIME TO SAY BYE BYE BOONIE!


Aaron Boone sucks and I am sick of his presence. It's time to cut the cord and rebuild because Boonie ain't cutting it. He's just a start, in my opinion. Someone has to take the fall and he's the most likely candidate.

Let's face it, the Yankees are going nowhere fast if they are going to continue playing like crap and not hitting and scoring runs. Can they climb back into it? Yeah, but boy do they have one hell of a crater to climb out of and August will be here before we know it. The high school baseball team down the street from me looks better than these soft suckers. Remember when "accountability" was a real thing? I miss those days.


And it's true. Accountability SHOULD matter. Remember when Joe Girardi was fired because he was no longer resonating within the clubhouse? Remember when he wasn't connecting with the younger up and coming Yankees? At least he's led a team to a World Series victory, Boonie has only dreamed of it. Boonie is supposed to be this great manager that connects with his guys and executes whatever Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman want.... right? 

Supposedly, but he's a useless puppet. Isn't the idea to win it all? That's still the Yankee way, right? IT WAS. Even after George passed, that was supposed to be a continued legacy and it ain't working! No one wants to make the logical move though. If the Yankees have all of this talent and they CAN win, why don't they? Where is all of this natural talent? Last time I checked Giancarlo Stanton and his .196 BA isn't going to cut it AND it is NOT the expectation for a so-called superstar. Shouldn't Boonie be able to get in his head and get the best out of Stanton? That's what we were all force fed by the front office! When does Anthony Rizzo finally look like Rizzo and you know.... hit?


If the manager can't do his job, he needs to go and the front office needs to bring in someone else who CAN. The same goes for Brian Cashman. He cannot build a winning team, even with a seemingly endless budget. Both aren't cutting it....so it is time to cut them. It's the most obvious answer to everyone, except Hal.

In June Hal was "confused" as to why fans were so frustrated in the third week of June...well HAL it is the third week in July. Are you still clueless?! If you aren't you would make the necessary moves. That includes firing Baboonie. It's called accountability and that's what the Yankees used to have.


The only thing Baboonie has "won" for the Yankees is last place in the AL East, and NO ONE should be okay with that. Cashman doesn't know how to win or construct a team. Grow a pair, Hal and step up already and do what needs to be done!

  1. Boone has sucked for years.
    Steinbrenner had it right:
    A leader has 1 season to prove himself a winner.
    After that?Thin ice.
    A Yankee slump?
    Hmmmm.
    Just like last year, repeat….
    Fire his ass.
