    Yankee fans, who some think are spoiled fans, are blasting Boone & Cashman on SportsTalk radio for their
    frustrating incompetence. When loyal fans voice their displeasure with the actions or lack of actions by the
    manager & GM, they see their team falling and the fans are not a happy bunch. Spoiled my ass! Fans have been
    witnessing ‘inconsistency’ & mismanagement this entire season.
    It began when Trashman decided he did not want Girardi as manager with the glib remark, “It’s time for a change.”
    Then he selects “a safety net manager with no experience”. Such an intentional pick was to serve one purpose,
    and it was not to benefit the team, but.......to save his own ass.
    Whatever happens through this season’s conclusion, what will stand out is the ineptness of a manager & GM
    who have been flailing at their respective responsibilities.

    The focus should be on the team, but this “inept duo” have robbed the joy from the Yankee
    team. Players are well aware and management is affecting their play on the field.

    Time to get back on track. Save face from last night’s pitching disaster. I have no faith in
    Boone, and the players need to look past their manager’s skittish actions....though, I do admit
    this is not easy when he’s right there blowing his bubble gum!

    Lynn is a professional & hopefully he will pitch a good game.

    Will you look at that outfield what kind of crap is in Boners bubble gum? Robinson in Center and Walker in right! Lynn will need a lot of swings and misses today.

    Both of our Ace's have been asleep at the wheel. Blew my mind Tank looked more like a Tonka truck, allowing three home runs and six earned runs WTF... & the rookie Blast's 3 home runs, shiiittt. CC, hope he retires no more one-year deals for the Fatman.
    Comes down to relying on our two pickups J A Happ and mr. Lynn playing the violin... hope he continues 2 turn the Stradivarius into a foot Stompin Barn Burning fiddle....
    There's going to be a hoe down...

    Hardcore Yankee fans withstand eternal Winds of time....
    Where the hell are those who question our loyalty, when we call a spade a spade. Where the hell are they when Chapman shits his pants twice in one week blah de blah de blah de.
    MIA- obviously singing Kumbaya as Rome Burns.

    Kumbaya Yankee fans Kumbaya....

    Excuse me. I had no right to criticize Tank, since that was his first loss since April 17th, let's not talk about those no decisions. I got to say his last outing didn't surprise me, yet It did.... I expected them to stop the bleeding, my bad, LOL otherwise I might just cry...

    So- Kumbaya My Lord Kumbaya...
    Tis not baBoones fault. Someone spiked his bubblegum with LSD, cuz he's hallucinating he's a big league manager...

    Baseball fundamentals 101- before A-Team takes to the field to warm up. It's all about appearance with uniform integrity. No sloppiness, no lazy improper attire. Other teams respect or disrespect tight uniformity &/ or the lack thereof. Why doesn't baboone just wear an A-frame wife beaters under shirt????

    :blessed: :devilwink: :notworthy::notworthy2::smiley-pat:

    ^^^^^I was taught early on to always question whatever warrants explanation in this crazy world of ours.
    With all the strange moves in the front office and on the field, any loyal Yankee fan would question....
    ” WTF is going on?”.

    Lynn struck out the Rangers 1-2-3 in the 1st. Gotta like his work ethic & pre-game warm up approach...

    Lynn did his job but the offense shows little sense of urgency to this point.
