Cole Throws A Clunker & Postseason Hopes Dwindle

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A picture is worth a thousand words, or so we have all heard. The picture pretty much says it all. We don’t need many words to describe the series against the Cleveland Indians. I think the consistent “BOO” coming from the stands sums it all up.
It was obvious from the start that Gerrit Cole just didn’t have it. He threw a clunker and gave up 7 runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings. It wasn’t pretty. It was ugly enough for fans to BOO him as he left the mound. I don’t read into the boo birds, those were out of frustration. Every pitcher is going to have those off games and that’s when the offense needs to step up. It doesn’t matter WHO pitches. If your offense doesn’t score any runs it doesn’t matter. He would’ve needed to pitch a no-hitter the way this team hits. There is no excuse for an 11-1 loss yesterday AND a series loss against the Indians.

There are 2 weeks left in the season, and while mathematically the Yankees can still steal a wild card spot recent performance doesn’t give us a sunny outlook. The Rangers are up next followed by the Red Sox and the Blue Jays. Every single game is important now, but the Red Sox and Jays series are EVERYTHING. The Yankees are now 2.5 games behind the Red Sox and 1.5 games behind the Jays. The Yankees need to sweep those games, realistically. And realistically, the Yankees recently played the Jays in a four game series and were SWEPT. The Yankees have a HUGE hill to climb now.

The Yankees have done this to themselves and they are to blame. It’s been “GO TIME” for too long and the Yankees haven’t put the petal to the metal. We’ve seen NO FIGHT. The Yankees can’t expect to not hit and barely crawl over the finish line of the regular season and get to the World Series. 

Cole threw a clunker today….but the Yankees have been no-shows all season. Do the Yankees have what it takes to play in October? My love for this franchise says YES, but my frustration with this roster says no. 

It’s time for the Yankees to put up or shut up. No more excuses! No more stupid Aaron Boone soundbites either!
