Just when the Yankees thought they had hit rock bottom, the Mets threw them a shovel and told them to keep digging. Wednesday night saw the Bronx Bombers' crosstown rivals complete just their second-ever Subway Series season sweep with a 12-3 drubbing that featured ace Gerrit Cole getting tagged for six runs and three home runs.
Nobody has higher expectations than us in that friggin' room, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. We're pissed off. We need to play better and this has gone on long enough. It's very frustrating to go through but I also know that we're competing our asses off.
Yet despite being one of the worst teams in the majors for over a month, the Yankees still just trail the Baltimore Orioles by 1.5 games for the top spot in the American League East. The Orioles will not hang around for long, though, thus allowing the Yankees to wade through one of their worst stretches this decade.
