It’s getting late early at Yankee Stadium. The last-place Yanks are 10 games back of the scorching Rays.
The Bronx may not be burning, but fans are, and they want manager Aaron Boone gone.
Stitches’ bench coach Don Reed: “Dump Boone; put Rizzo in as the player-manager.”
Ed Day from Rockland County: “I will reach up and grab you by the throat.”
And Joe from Brooklyn: “New Yorkers are smart, sophisticated fans. We deserve better.”
Not bad, Don. Everyone loves Rizzo. Ed, you have to calm down. And Joe may be right.
But keep in mind this city voted Bill de Blasio in as mayor. Twice.
The Yanks may be the best last-place team.
The Twinkies: the worst first-place team. San Diego is in Minnesota. The Padres’ Michael Wacha two-hit the Reds for six innings in his last start.
The Twins’ Louie Varland has made two starts, allowing seven runs over 10 ²/₃. Play $50 on the Padres.
Shane McClanahan is 7-0 after scattering four hits over six innings in the Rays 3-0 win over the O’s.
Our mini-winning streak has us at -642 scottkazmirs.
