    Astros Broadcast Team: Geoff Blum, hit a game tying bomb for Chicago in the '05 Series aginst Houston that won a game.

    Todd Kalas: Former Broadcast member for the Rays.

    What a crew, and talking plenty of shit as the Yankees embarrass themselves once again and Boston is kicking the shit out of Toronto.

    Yanking pitching has decayed......more than I thought when the season began. Major league ball players
    hit the most HRs in a one month period(June) than ever before. Pitching across the board is on the
    decline in MLB.

    Middle relief sucks. Now, the back end is showing its weaknesses. The starters are inconsistent...........and at the
    end of today, the Yankees sit in second place, 3 games out.

    I don't know if any of you guys are interested but the All-Star Selection is on ESPN tonight at 7:00 pm. I voted for all the Yankees except Headless. The only one that deserves to go now is Judge.

    Though I'm all Yankee in heart & mind. I'm a fair cuss from way back when. I only selected Judge.

    ^^^^^Yeah. It's tee off time at Minute Maid Park, Houston. Astros flexing and celebrating July 4th early!!!!!!

    Around the league Mookie Betts of Boston had a career today........drove in 8 runs vs. pathetic Toronto
    pitching.

    Carter is so bad it's not even funny. Does anyone notice that when he does make contact with the ball he actually seems surprised?

    Sadly, I saw this coming today after yesterday's gut punch. Beyond that though they're heading towards 22-28 in their last 50 games. That's obviously a deeper trend.

    ^^^^^I can't believe Cashman paid Carter 3 mil + a $ 500,000 bonus. Man, I could do what he has done and
    I would have been much cheaper!!!!!!!!!!

    Somebody on Twitter said they could've just paid $3.50 for a cardboard cutout and served the same purpose.

    Yankees have not won a series since June 10th. They have lost 5 of 6 series, only tying the lowly White Sox.
    I' d say they're in a slump.

    Yeah it's pretty bad now. Ever since that first win in Anaheim it has turned into a complete nightmare and they can't get out of their own way. Not to mention all the injuries.

    Funny how in '14 the Yankees added Beltran and McCann. I don't think either of them played to expectation in all phases of the game. Beltran traded to the Rangers foes to the playoffs. Now both are with Houston getting praised to the skies for their contributions. Funny how shit works out.

    Maybe it's time for a managerial change.

    George would've fired Girardi's ass already.
