A-Rod Basically Admits Yankees Are Totally Done
Are the Yankees heading for a reprise of the Don Mattingly era just in time for a new ballpark? After losing two of three to the dismal Mariners over the weekend, including a near no-hitter on Friday night, the pinstripers are now staring up at three teams in their own division, thanks to Toronto’s eight-game winning streak. New York hasn’t finished worse than second place since 1992 — Buck Showalter’s first year as manager. And now it seems almost a lock that Yankee Stadium will be sent off with a whimper after a September 21st tilt with the lowly Orioles. Not exactly how the Bronx faithful had imagined it.
Perhaps nothing sums up the kind of year it’s been for the Yanks than yesterday’s comments by Alex Rodriguez, who failed once again in his 8,917th attempt to become a “True Yankee.”
