Wow. I can’t believe what I just saw over the weekend. Our only hope is that this is low point for the Yankees and things will get better because that performance in Boston was almost historic in how horrible it was. Lets get to it.
“Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck!”
That’s what they were chanting for four consecutive nights at Fenway Park - yes, four consecutive nights - and never were those miserable Tommy Boy Red Sox fans more right about anything.
Oh my God, the Yankees sucked beyond belief, awful in every phase, and in one horrendous weekend they were unmasked for exactly who they are - overrated pretenders who have a record 13 games over .500 - and sinking fast - only because there are so many mediocre-to-bad teams in the American League who they’ve fattened up on all year.
If the Yankees played in the National League, they wouldn’t even be in a playoff position right now because there’s no way they would have 48 victories. Can you imagine this team playing regularly against the likes of the Dodgers, Brewers, Braves (yes, I know they’re also slumping), Phillies, Padres, and maybe even the Cubs, a team that has 12 pitchers on the injured list but has only two fewer wins than the Yankees? Jesus, the Marlins would wipe the floor with the Yankees.
Yes, the Yankees are dealing with injuries. Guess what? I don’t give a shit because so is every team in MLB. Injuries are no excuse for their disgraceful no-show in Boston. They just got their asses kicked by their arch rivals, a team that heading into this series had blown two of three games to the worst team in MLB, the Rockies, and were walking dead.
The talk in the Hub all season has been how mortifyingly bad the Red Sox have been. Manager Alex Cora was fired, the fans want GM Craig Breslow thrown in the Charles River with a concrete block tied to his ankle, they haven’t had their ace, Garrett Crochet, for more than a month, and still they kicked the living shit out of the Yankees.
And could this horror show of a series have ended any differently than it did Sunday night? I mean, how appropriate was that?
The Yankees were no-hit for 7.1 innings by Sonny Gray, then somehow rallied for two runs off Aroldis Chapman in the ninth to force extra innings, somehow scored two runs in the 10th - of course it was mostly due to right fielder Wilyer Abreu’s fielding follies, not really anything the Yankees did - and still didn’t win because Fernando Cruz barfed all over himself and gave up three in the bottom of the 10th for a 5-4 loss.
Holy shit. My computer keyboard is screaming at me and my fingers are bleeding right now, that’s how hard I’m pounding these keys at 10:30 p.m. Sunday night.
Jarren Duran gets doused after his walk-off single Sunday night completed a four-game sweep for the Red Sox.
Hal Steinbrenner should ground the plane at Logan and make these dipshits walk back to the Bronx. I wouldn’t even waste the fuel on this team. Am I hot right now after watching that meltdown? Oh, right now my wife is hiding the sharp objects in the house.
