Boomer Rips Into Yankees After Blown Lead
“Alright, lemme just say this right off the bat — this one is a DISASTER for the Yankees. You’ve got a 5–2 lead in the fourth inning, you’re cruising, things look fine… and then, as only the Yankees can do lately, you let it all slip away. You LOSE 6–5 in walk-off fashion. Are you kidding me?
And here’s the real gut punch: Mike Deming, one of the guys you actually trust on this staff, he gets HURT while pitching. So not only do you blow a lead, you lose one of your reliable arms in the process. That’s the definition of adding insult to injury. Literally.
Look, Kyle Centeno and the White Sox — give them credit. Three hits, three RBIs, hits the walk-off in the ninth. That’s clutch. That’s a guy who WANTED the moment. Meanwhile, what do the Yankees do? Leave thirteen men on base. Thirteen! That’s a joke. That’s not execution, that’s a meltdown.
And don’t get me started on Cameron Nevarez out of the pen. Forty-one pitches, can’t get an out when it matters, gives up six hits in an inning and a third — I mean, this guy basically poured gasoline on the fire and handed Chicago the match.
Yankees manager Rickey Arnette doesn’t even take questions after the game. He says he’ll talk ‘if and when they win the World Series.’ Oh really? How about answering for THIS? You just coughed up Game 1 in dramatic, embarrassing fashion, and you’ve got your best pitcher limping off the mound. Somebody’s gotta answer for that.
So now you’re already down 1–0 in the series, and you’re scrambling with a bullpen that doesn’t look like it can hold water, let alone a lead. The Yankees better figure this out fast — otherwise, this is gonna be a short October.”
