Weekend of Shame Completed

The Yankees finished their awful weekend in the Bronx tonight, blowing a 4-1 lead to lose to the Red Sox 7-5 to complete the three-game sweep. More bad pitching, fielding and a lack of timely hitting led to this loss, the team's 9 in their last 12 games. The Yankees are now 20-18 and just a game ahead of the the Red Sox, and 2 behind the 1st place Rays, a team they start a two-game series with tomorrow in Tampa.

What is there to say really besides that this team looks absolutely awful. If things don't change soon, this is going to be a very long year.

Honestly, I have very little to say that won't piss you off so I'll just shut up for now.

Well, almost...

Just a side note: giving Jorge Posada standing ovations at this point is silly and ridiculous. Unless he says he's retiring and sparing us from horrible at-bat after horrible at-bat, please refrain from any standing O's.

If you care to look at the box score, here it is.
