Recap: As Josh “the Yankee Truth” Imboden points out, the Yanks don’t hit power pitchers, and haven’t for a few years. A. J. Burnett K’d 13 in 8 IP tonight. As I’ve been pointing out for a while, the Yanks can’t afford to waste a good performance from a Ponson, Giese, Rasner…because with them, you don’t know what you are going to get. When you get good, you must take advantage of it.
They didn’t. JD made what SHOULD have been 2 errors in CF. Inexplicably, the second was called a hit. Two out, tied at one, bottom of the 8th. Man on 1st. Ball hit deep, but not to the wall. A step or so in front of it. Clank. In putting Damon in CF, you are going for offense, with him, Nady in LF, the returning Matsui at DH, Giambi at 1B, Abreu in RF…but the catch-22 was supposed to be Damon’s arm, not his glove.
As for the offense? Nada. Golden sombrero for Giambi, and as I wrote, Burnett K’d 13, fulfilling what Josh has stated for a while.
Meanwhile, remember Ty Hildenbrandt’s quote of just ELEVEN DAYS AGO? The one where he asked when you-know-who would get hurt again? Hit the “more” link, read the latest, and see the image and verses…
and by the way, the Yanks are now only one game ahead of fourth-place Toronto, with Roy Halladay lurking in the wings and going on Thursday.
YANKEES (66-58, 3rd, 10 games out (DIV), 5 1/2 out (WC))
1 game worse than Pythagorean.
OPS+ 105; ERA+ 100
With Matsui back, as one Post reporter put it, it’s like trickle-down. Gardner goes to the bench. Christian sent down.
Jason Lane was released. Lane was at SWB all year.
I would have had Matsui 5 and the big G 7, but I guess they don’t want to put too much pressure on Godzilla as he is fresh off the DL. I also would have flip-flopped Pudge and Cano. Anyway, it looks like this is the lineup from here on out (barring the Molina days). Gardner available to PR.
BA-HR-RBI-SB-OPS+ (League Average hitter is 100)
Damon CF .313-8-51-21-122
From Pete Abraham: JD is 1 for his last 18.
Jeter SS .295-7-58-9-102 (watch him get to .300)
12 for last 19. Finally heating up a bit.
Abreu RF .289-15-80-14-119
A. Rodriguez 3B .313-28-77-16-163
Giambi 1B .251-24-72-2-139
Nady LF NYY, 312-7-18-0-171. Total Pit/NYY, .327-20-75-1-147
Matsui DH .323-7-34-0-129 (missed about 55 games)
Cano 2B .266-10-55-1-86
I. Rodriguez C 7 for 32 NYY (.219)1-1-0-61. Total Det/NYY .287-6-33-6-96
Time to heat up, Pudge. Molina could have gone 7 for 32.
Rasner RHP 5-9, 5.18. ERA+ 82
Tough matchup for the Raz. A. J. Burnett.
Greg Maddux goes back to the Dodgers.
Interesting in seeing the reporters say it’s Hughes or Pavano on Saturday. Although it hasn’t been announced, I think it’ll be (there, I said it) Pavano. Didn’t these guys check Sunday’s minor league boxscores?
From the Post (edited down): Minnesota has a 14 game road trip coming up, but has 22 games left vs. the A’s, Mariners, Tigers and KC. Not good news for the Yanks. Chicago has 15 vs. them. Meaning it may be easier for the Yanks to catch the White Sox (and of course, they need to catch Boston too for the WC). Hence the 4-game set against the Chisox 9/15 to 9/18 could be huge.
It’s bad enough a guy in an office behind me is a Phillie fan. What’s worse is that when he and some cohorts discuss baseball, they are clueless. I think my tongue is going to bleed from biting it so much.
Schilling and Glavine both look like they are finished. Glavine, with 305 wins and 2 CYA (and 2 runnerups), is a shoo-in for the HOF.
Schilling most likely will get in also due to his postseason dominance (11-2, 2.23), but I hope he isn’t a first-ballot HOF. 216 wins, ok. 3x runnerup for the CYA, ok. But look at the total record and for the 22-6, 23-7, 21-6, 17-11, there also a lot of 3-5, 2-8, 7-5, 9-8, 9-10, 11-12, 8-8 seasons. ESPN, especially the Boston lackeys, will push hard for him, but look at his stats, and ask yourself, if it wasn’t for the postseasons (1993 Phils, 2001 D-Backs, 2004 Red Sox), would you put him in? Let’s face it. The postseasons put him over the top. He wouldn’t have that clear of a sailing without it. More dominant than Mussina? Yes. More consistent? No.
I have a meeting to attend, then some laundry and packing (going away this weekend). Catch you a bit later.
In the 1st, Damon walked and scored on a double by Abreu. Rasner got out of a 2nd and 3rd, 1 out jam in the 1st (two-base E by Damon). After 3 1/2, it’s still 1-0 Yanks. Burnett has K’d 8.
When the Band wrote and sang Stage Fright,
did they have Pavano in mind?
See the man with the stage fright,
Just standin’ up there to give it all his might.
He got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again…..
By Robbie Robertson.
From Pete Abraham (thanks to Mike F. for the tip-off):
UPDATE, 8:09 p.m.: You can’t make this stuff up. Pavano skipped his bullpen session today because of a stiff neck. Why do the Yankees even bother?
Also, from Pete: UPDATE, 6:24 p.m.: The Red Sox signed OF Jason Lane to a minor-league deal about 10 seconds after the Yankees cut him. Boston needs OFs with J.D. Drew experiencing back pain. … In case you missed it, Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski is in a Boston hospital with chest pains.
Get well soon, Yaz.
End of 5 1/2. Rasner 0 R, 2 H in 5 IP. Leads 1-0. Ouch. 11 K for Burnett. He’s struck out Alex and the Big G (or is that Big K tonight) all six times he’s faced one or the other so far.
Rasner gives up a game-tying HR in the 7th. Veras gets the last out of the 7th. Poor Rasner. A ND. 1 R, 3 H in 6 2/3. Probably the best game he’s ever pitched in the majors. Nothing to show for it.
Bottom of 8th. Veras still in. Burnett had 13 K’s. Still 1-1. One walk by Burnett? That walk scored. Figures. Veras gets a K.
If it’s tied and one of the slower guys gets on in the top of the 9th, expect the Road Runner to PR.
Sigh. Two out. Damon, who made an error in the 1st, makes another one here, and it may cost the Yanks the game. Two-out single, and what? they called it a hit? John and Suzyn describe it as an error. A step from the wall. Hmm…..Gardner D replacement there??? Only thing is, he couldn’t be a D replacement because you wanted him as a PR in the 9th. Damned if that doesn’t burn them.
…and NOTHING can go right. Alex hits a looper over 1st, goes for 2nd…and is thrown out.

I think Matsui in at 7th works fine with me, and I wouldn’t be opposed to putting Cano at ninth. It would also have alternated the entire lineup L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L. I’m less concerned about the latter than shoring up the bottom of the order and, honestly, has Cano been that great to merit not being 9th? Not to me. Better since the break, but not immune.
Good point about Schilling. His post-season, hardware, and K totals put him above Mussina to a degree, but Mussina’s consistent excellence and much higher win totals mean a lot to me.
2 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Heck of a piece of hitting by Abreu, doubling to left on a fastball up to score JD who was running, 1-0 Yankees. On the other hand, Burnett struck out the side–Jeter, A-Rod, and Giambi.
3 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Boston’s up 2 on the O-Birds in the top of the first.
4 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Horrible error from JD, flat-out dropping a deep F8, second and third. How about two hands, JD?
5 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Big K of Wells looking, two outs. Escape here, Rasner.
6 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Rasner escapes, having to go 23 pitches but getting Lind on a 4-3 to get around the walk and E8. Good work, kid.
7 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Ugh now I have to go to Taiwan.
8 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Ten-pitch inning for Burnett after Cano got robbed by that little so-and-so Scutaro.
9 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Rasner left that up for Overbay.
10 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Indeed he did. I do wish I could get an American News Feed here in Japan.
11 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:41 pm
How much longer on the Pacific Rim Swing, Wiz?
12 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:42 pm
I am still coming home September 1st. But because of a deal in danger of falling through in Taiwan I am leaving for there tomorrow. The deal here in Osaka is being put on hold for right now.
13 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Rasner with a nine-pitch second, good work after the lead-off single.
14 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:46 pm
The Red Sox jump all over the inept Orioles 3-0.
15 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Angels also up 1-0 on Tampa.
16 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Six K’s for Burnett, that’s a bad sign.
17 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:51 pm
hey guys—
i wonder why our hitter dont know that curve is coming on a 2 strike count?
18 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Hi Mike. How’s it going? True, lots of the curve for strike 3 and after hot heat.
19 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:54 pm
all is well-jason–hope your weekend trip was fun…
20 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Hi Mike. Why is it that AJ Burnett’s always kick’s our asses?
21 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:57 pm
hey tim—
well with these pathetic at bats it’s no wonder he’s mowing us down
22 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Ten-pitch 3rd for Rasner capped off by a 6-4-3 DP after hitting Inglett. Keep up the good work, Rasner.
23 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:58 pm
It was good, refreshing, and necessary.
24 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 7:59 pm
For a bunch-of alleged fastball hitters, Burnett blows the Yanks away with the gas as well as the curve.
25 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:00 pm
we have a one man team today…bobby
26 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Where did you go on vacation Jason?
27 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Crack-of-the-bat double to dead center for Abreu leading off. Please, for the love of God, score the run.
28 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:02 pm
And A-Rod is gunned down on 3 straight fastballs.
29 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:02 pm
watching alex has been painful
30 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Not exactly a vacation Tim, just getting out of town to visit relatives, camp a but, run a bit, swim a bit–just go and relax, essentially. We were in northern Indiana and also Chicago.
31 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Nothing from A-Rod. Par for the course with RISP from A-Rod this year.
32 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Checking out the comments.
I found out tonight that another reason Melky was sent down was to separate him and his BFF Cano. Apparently the two of them were hitting a lot of late-night clubs together.
33 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:05 pm
8 K’s now through 3 2/3 IP for Burnett. They look completely inept.
34 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:06 pm
and WHY is G still batting 5th?
35 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Was that from a news article or media report, Mike? That would annoy me a ton about the two kids. I’d hear about a good deal of that kind of stuff with the Buffalo Bills in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it’s destructive in ways that people usually don’t see.
36 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:07 pm
They get a lead off double and can’t score. $()#(%$ing great..
37 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:07 pm
a grotesque ‘effort”
38 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Lead-off double = nothing. Not a surprise.
39 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:08 pm
guys –i have read a lot of accounts of melky and cano out all night–night after night
40 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Has this been in the NY papers?
41 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:10 pm
yes
42 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Nope. Our fan club president heard it from a VERY reliable source.
43 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:12 pm
That’s annoying news.
44 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:12 pm
they attend private dominican social clubs in washington heights
45 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:13 pm
out until 5 a.m.
Doing some wash and getting stuff together. I’m leaving after work Friday, going away for a while this weekend and getting back Sunday afternoon. So no posts from me from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon.
46 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:13 pm
i mean its not like they are getting the same results as mickey, whitey and billy…
47 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Cano needs to get his head out of his ass. Otherwise I will do it for him.
48 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Another one of those games that the Yanks can’t afford to lose (i.e., good outing from an unexpected source…Ponson, Giese, Rasner….)
49 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:17 pm
I have to head out for a bit. I’ll be back in a little while.
50 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:17 pm
from the mighty abe:
UPDATE, 8:09 p.m.: You can’t make this stuff up. Pavano skipped his bullpen session today because of a stiff neck. Why do the Yankees even bother?
51 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Carl Pavano should just be taken out back and shot.
52 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:25 pm
If Pavano was a horse, he’d have been shot already.
See, I knew that once I mentioned him by name instead of #45, he’d get hurt.
See above. Got some perfect images for him coming up.
53 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:44 pm
could our “hitters” look any worse?
54 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Image up. Figured that verse and song title fits.
55 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Hilarious about Pavano. What a loser.
56 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:47 pm
If nothing else, the Yankees have Burnett’s pitch count up to 95.
Keep up the good work, Rasner.
57 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Rasner at 68 through 6. Outstanding. Thankfully Toronto’s offense struggles as much as New York’s.
58 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Boston is up 3-2 in the bottom of the 4th, the Angels are up 2-1 on Tampa.
59 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I guess I am too young to remember to know what that photo is, same with the song.
60 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:50 pm
yeah-the raz has been very efficient–despite letting the leadoff guy on in 4 innings
61 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Could Raz be any better?
62 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:51 pm
However it does make me really old that there are kids born now who don’t even remember the 1990s.
63 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:52 pm
The way this game is going, and Burnett is pitching, I almost wish Gardner was PR-ing for Nady now.
64 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Jason or Mike, do you remember the 1960s?
65 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:54 pm
I was born in 1969.
That 1-2 to Matsui was outside.
66 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:54 pm
I know a fair amount about the decade, but from learning not experience.
67 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:54 pm
i remember them well tim
68 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:55 pm
even though i was a young kid
69 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:55 pm
The photo is the Band. (Rock Group) mid 1960’s to Mid-1970s. Also performed with Dylan (about whom the song is really written about). Charlie Manuel (dec., suicide), Garth Hudson, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko (dec., drug OD) and Levon Helm. I saw them (sans Robbie) in the early 1980s after the four regrouped. Their last concert together (the five of them) was captured in a brilliant film, The Last Waltz.
70 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I hope you weren’t a rebel Mike F. Then again my dad was no prize. He actually attacked student protestors at Columbia. He was Mr. Law and Order.
71 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Dummy me. RICHIE MANUEL. (Of course, if the Phils don’t make it, Charlie might…)
72 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:58 pm
13 K’s now for Burnett. With their bullpen woes and the pitch count at 110, expect Burnett for the 8th.
73 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Born in 1961, so I remember some….
74 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:58 pm
a bit too young to be a rebel, but would have loved to have thrown a molotov cocktail in chicago 68!
75 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Burnett continues to own us. 13 Ks through 7 innings of work.
76 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 8:59 pm
…and if the Mets don’t make it, Jerry Manuel?
77 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Haha. You sound like my dad except he supported Richard Nixon despite the fact that he loved John F. Kennedy.
78 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Rasner has made 10 straight outs.
79 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:02 pm
I wish I could freaking get US Cable News here.
80 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:03 pm
supporting nixon in 1960 is no shame–despite the alger hiss thing—he was the safe choice
81 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Great…………
82 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Damn. Best game of Raz’s career for naught? Tied up.
83 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:04 pm
there goes the game i bet
84 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:05 pm
One hanging slider to Lind ties the game at 1.
85 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Helen Gahagan Douglas, overall red-baiting from Nixon…no thanks in 1960 or ever.
86 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:07 pm
No my dad supported Nixon in 1968 because he believed in law and order. He still rants about how stupid college kids are. Though he still maintains he only votes Republican because the Democratic party of the New Frontier is dead.
87 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:08 pm
and girardi -master strategist-pulls raz out even though he has made but one mistake and then got an out…
* sigh*
88 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Veras is coming in to get Stairs, I bet. Rasner was terrific, making just one costly pitch all game.
89 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:09 pm
good point about douglas jason–
your father sounds like he should run a detention camp tim
90 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Haha. Nah he’s just an old fashioned Texan. Richard Nixon was a red baiter. However he did open China, one of the greatest foreign policy acheivements of 20th century. Helen Douglas probably was pink down to her underwear anyway.
91 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:14 pm
It was difficult for Nixon to “open China”–to horribly repressed labor in addition to hundreds of billions in Western/US money–when he and other fear-mongers did so much to close it through narrow-minded propaganda and highly inaccurate foreign-policy stances on communism for decades, in addition to the whole “loss of China” farce.
On Douglas, Tim, baseless.
92 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:15 pm
“…was not difficult for Nixon,” that is.
93 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:16 pm
A-Rod and Giambi–6 at-bats, 6 K’s against Burnett.
94 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:17 pm
as mao would say- we are nothing but capitalist roaders and imperialist running dogs…
95 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Well as you know antebellum America is my thing but I am happy to jump into the ring with The Professor. The loss of China was a farce largely because we had almost no control over what happened in China. Mao won on his own, with Soviet support. Plus we were tied down in Europe. Regarding China, Nixon and Kissinger in particular recognized a Sino-Soviet split existed. Nixon was playing balance of power politics by leveraging a quasi alliance with China against the Soviets.
96 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:18 pm
I really hope that was Burnett’s last inning–120 pitches, 13 K’s, 1 BB. He dominated the Yankees.
97 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:20 pm
good points tim–
few people are aware how close to war china and the soviet union came in 1967
98 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:21 pm
As you well know Jason, Truman’s NSC-68 was the document that defined the Communists as a monolithic evil. NSC-68 also gave us the whole freedom rhetoric.
99 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Damon is 1 for his last 21.
100 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Sorry, had to step away to give the little guy a bath.
Agreed on the so-called “loss of China,” Tim. My point is that this was something on which Nixon, McCarthy, Luce of Time, and others capitalized on politically, ignoring what you rightly say, the US had no control over it, as political capital against Truman and the Democrats. True also about recognizing the Sino-Soviet split, which was far from new in the early 1970s but more around the early 1960s.
101 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:25 pm
yeah–he is in a slump for sure mike–
i cant get down on him considering how much he has meant to the team, but we really need him to get out of it quickly
102 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:27 pm
can u believe JD tonight?
just pathetic
103 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:27 pm
But NSC-68 was also the basis of hard-core conservative foreign policy and rollback instead of containment, and at the expense of much-needed social policies and spending. NSC-68 is also rife with many internal contradictions on Soviet strength and weaknesses.
Two drops from Damon, this time costs the Yankees a run. Disgraceful. This team is inventing new ways to lose ball games.
104 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Damon continues to f*$# up in centerfield.
105 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Meanwhile, Boston is up 6-2 in the 6th and Tampa up 4-2 in the 9th.
106 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:32 pm
I understand the need for JD to play CF because of the offense (to get Nady in LF, Matsui at DH) but it’s a catch-22 situation. And here we thought the Catch-22 was his ARM…
107 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:32 pm
NSC-68 was also not necessarily Truman’s, but state department reactionary policy fed during a period of intensely paranoid anti-communism and something, oddly enough, that “X” himself, George Kennan as the father of containment, came to oppose.
108 Jason // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:33 pm
True Mike S. Two ghastly drops in one game, both disgraceful.
109 mike f // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:33 pm
its not like any of this should be a surprise or in any way unexpected…
we just barely were able to take a series from the royals–the royals who had lost 7 of 8 before heading our way
110 Tim The Wizard // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:34 pm
The thing about Kennan was he was articulating political containment. Dean Atchison was also Mr. “The Soviet knows only one language, force. Respects only one word, action”. God damn it A-Rod!
111 Mike Sommer // Aug 19, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Golden Sombrero coming for Alex and the Big G?
Nope. A-Rod gets … damn. One. Thrown out at 2nd. Damn.
Can’t even catch a break.

More bad baseball on the base paths, one down on A-Rod’s trying for second.

Although it was always more nuanced than Acheson’s and Nitze’s views, Tim, as trade always showed.

Not to mention John Foster Dulles in Ike’s admin.

Another great pitching job from an unexpected source wasted.
…and what a way to lose.

This team is disgraceful. Execute them all.

Ike and Dulles were the classic good cop and bad cop combination.

Terrible loss, and it’s likely the Yankees will drop another game tonight. Disgraceful.
