I wasn't going to watch the Yankees last night but they were still playing after I watched a movie. I joined them in the 6th inning to see Sonny Gray had a no hitter going and Rodon had a 1 hitter going yet he was behind 2-0 because of errors. The Yankees rallied to tie the game in the 9th getting to Chapman. After the Yankees scored 2 runs in the 10th inning I laid back thinking the Yankees were going to finally win a road game in extra innings. I should have known better. Boone brought in Cruz. That dude has never had a clean inning unless he enters a game with no one on base. He just cannot get anyone out with runners on base. And he failed yet again giving up 3 runs. Boone should have walked the last Red Sox batter to set up a possible double play. I don't give a damn if it was the top of the Bosox lineup you have to set up a chance at getting 2. They were going to win anyway if the batter put the ball in play so set up the freaking chance of a double play. Instead Boone pitched to the batter who promptly won the game. And Cruz is a damn joke. And so is Boone. I get so tired of them showing him in the same old spot on the dugout steps chomping gum like cow chewing cud.

Got home last night just as the top of the 9th was starting for the hitless wonders. The Sox right fielder did all he could to gift us the game . After the top of the 10th, it looked like the Yankees would steal one. One of the most disgusting losses I've ever seen, and I grew up in nyc during the 50s and 60s watching a ton of games.

Didn't even see the winning run. When it got to 4-4, I knew how it would end.

Scary thing is that if Bednar somehow falters/is injured in the closer role (he's not that great at it to begin with), Cruz is/was supposedly the next in line.

Watching the Yankees right now and this team is a joke. They have 1 hit in 5 innings. The Tigers are up 7-0. They have only won 12 road games. On 3 straight plays Bellinger dropped a fly ball, then the Martian collided with Jazz who was barely on the outfield grass knocking Jazz out of the game, next play The Martian ran into the wall. Weathers threw 60 pitches in the 1st 2 innings and 5 runs. Rice and Bellinger are a combined 5 for their last 79. The Yankees are arguably the worst team in baseball right now.

Heading into the 8th now with only 1 hit. The last 4 games the Yankees hitting has been anemic. 10 hits. A record.

Yankees facing Skubal tomorrow night. Another game the Yankees might not get a hit.

Jazz is in concussion protocol.

Well I was all kicked back ready to watch what I thought would be a pitchers duel between Schlittler and Skubal and I'm pretty sure the Yankees are under some kind of curse. Cam has never given up 3 home runs in a game and he gives up 3 in the first inning to the lowly Tigers and throws 36 pitches! Yanks trail 4-0.

They did get 1 back as Rice just homered but I think I'll find something else to watch. With this anemic Yankees offense I don't have much hope they can score much off Skubal. I'll hang in a few more innings and see how it goes.

Well, I'm done. Cam just gave up another home run. Makes no sense. 6-1 in the 3rd inning. Already thrown over 60 pitches and Boone just chomping on his bubble gum and no one warming up in the pen.

I'm trying to figure out who's going to be the scapegoat if ownership refuses to fire Boone or Cashman???

Right now, I got $$$ on the hitting coach, whoever in hell that is.

The Yankees will finish June with a 12-14 record. Over the last 4 Junes they are 52-54. Pretty pathetic. Heading into tonight's game they are batting as a team .127 over the past week. There is no way in hell a Yankees team should be hitting this bad. What does the hitting coach do? Yankees again with only 1 hit tonight so far. Cam only got through 4 innings tonight and his fastball was only hitting 94 on the last batter he faced. Just had a bad night.

I don't know why the hell I'm still watching this game. 9-1 now Tigers. Caballero just made another error. He is not an every day player. 15 errors now in last 11 games by the Yankees. Just getting embarrassed by last place teams. I have an idea. LET'S RUN IT BACK.

Had two tickets I could not sell and two others I took a loss on in Fenway this past weekend. Bought for face when we planned a Boston trip

couldn’t make it due to travel issues after CWS and ate money. Very surprised at that.

Just watched an absolutely pathetic exhibition of baseball again by the Yankees. 3 hours of my day gone. At least it was a day game and now I can enjoy some normal TV tonight. I miss George. He would not put up with this crap, but he would have built a championship team and not this crap team.

And as I was typing the above post the Yankees have tied the game in the bottom of the 9th with a solo home run by Rosario and thanks to Jazz for stealing 2nd and 3rd bases and scoring on a wild pitch. Volpe killed the inning getting caught stealing 2nd. On to the 10th. Yanks have been pretty good at home in extras. We'll see. UGH Cruz in for the Yankees. Yanks have the best record in baseball at home in extras. 2nd worst on the road.

I don't know who is the biggest joke, Doval, or Boone for bringing him in and leaving him in as he gave up 4 runs in the top of the 11th. I would release his *** today. He had an 0-2 count on the batter needing one strike to end the inning. He was throwing 102 mph fastballs and then decides to start throwing all kinds of breaking pitches nowhere near the strike zone walking batters walking in runs and then allowed a 3 run hit by a .192 hitter on a curve ball. Who the hell is calling these pitches for the Yankees? 7 straight losses and the 2nd time in a week they tied a game in the 9th inning and then gave up a croooked number in the 11th. TheYankees have played the Tigers 6 games in 10 days and the Tigers never had to use their closer. Sad.

Donald has blown the lead 6 times in the 8th inning or later. Why the **** does Boone keep using him late?

8 Yankees players were sick with food poisoning.

Jack Curry ripping Boone in the postgame.

A week ago the Yankees were in first place. Today they are 5 games back in the loss column. This is the second time this year the Yankees have had a bad losing streak while at the same time the Rays went on a long wining streak. Crazy!

The Yankees hope of bringing up Lagrange to work out of the bullpen is on hold. He's gone to the IL with a shoulder issue which may derail him for several months as far as coming to the Yankees. Another pitcher to the IL in the Yankees long list of pitchers with arm issues.
