    Tampa is the team I most hate to see the Yankees lose to. Yankees managed to correct the season series against Texas now it's time to do it against Tampa. From the fear of Boners incompetence and and an imploding bullpen Good Lord Deliver Us.

    I’ve said it before that the players on this team must look past the manager’s incompetence. Look.
    They have so far achieved the second best record in MLB despite the “desperate duo’s” actions
    on and off the field. But there are signs that the cracks in the dam are getting larger and it might
    take more than fingers to stop the downward trend.

    Newly purchased Happ faces the annoying Rays. Wish him a good outing.

    Britton wants to go back 2/t O's. CC's down, Seve's arm seems tired & several have made cases Severinos tipping Pitches...
    Happ & Lynn have got to step up and hav the years of their lives. Otherwise the Titanic approaches the iceberg. Gray's a fkng flake. Tank t/best we have?

    Boone's incopetent. Imo King George would've shitcanned hom ny now, prob Trashman 2....

    We will still get the #1 WC spot as oakland and seattle have like another 11 games between them and they'll beat the crap out of each other. Also, we play no one coming down the stretch for the most part and should continue to pile up the wins. Judges prognosis of back in 3 weeks is a joke and he's still not even able to swing a bat yet and last I heard the other day still has pain in the wrist. Cashman had to know situation and has committed malpractice by not getting yanks the easiest thing to get in a trade......a useful bat for the outfield. Don't know what he's waiting for. The fact that shane robinson has been in our outfield about a dozen games or so with his .112 average is ridiculous. Now neil walker who has never played the outfield until the other day is now our RF for the time being. And unless he gets going very soon I've had almost enough of bird and his pathetic at bats. Wonder if andujar can play first cause as good a hitter as he is he is a disaster at third. Go get an outfield bat cashman until judge gets back. This team to me although young with a lot of good players just doesn't seem to be put together well and unfortunately we have one of the worst managers in baseball trying to navigate it.

    Grandson just cleared waivers and shouldn't cost much. Go get him cash for OF insurance

    Granderson, another over the hill home run or bust hack. I didn't like him twixt '10 and '12, sure would not like to see him back. A bit better than Robinson I guess but really no sub for Judge in any way shape or form. There's an Old Hank Williams song with the line "I stand on the banks of the river, and stare at the water so deep". I have no faith in Boners ability to do anything with this team that resembles winning. I don't remember how long a contract the Yankees gave Boner but hey, after Pavano, Ellsbury and the like he's the least expensive of Cashmans fuck ups. Sabathia and Gardner should be taking the asshole out for major behind the dugout conversations but I guess that is not happening.

    Three more Yankee hitters strike out. Question to Boner "what is your coaching staff doing to help the hitters cut down on strike outs?" Never mind an answer, probably nothing!!!!!!!

    For the second consecutive inning three more Yankees strike. This is a fucking disgrace.
