Can it get worse than this for Yankees fans?

How much more is the fanbase expected to accept from this organization?

• The Yankees have now lost 6 consecutive games.

• The Yankees are 13-21 since May 30.

• The Yankees are 6-16 over their last 22 games.

It's bad. It's very bad. It's ugly.

After the game, Aaron Boone will probably say much of the following:

"Well, DJ had a clutch pinch-hit single. I liked his approach."

"Rodon battled. Hey, he kept us in the game. He made, maybe, a mistake or two. Things happen in baseball games. These are big league hitters."

"This is a great team. I've never seen better battlers. This is a championship team. These guys do not get down. And they won't. I won't let them think poorly of themselves. They're winners - all of them."

"Sandridge showed poise. It's tough out there on a big league mound."

"Hey, we are still in this thing. What do they say about you're never as bad as when you lose a bit? Our comeback is right around the corner. Once we get on a roll, there will be no stopping us."

"No. A slump? No. How can you even ask that? No. Not really. Not at all. It's a rough patch. Sure. But a slump? No. We're battling. We're making the plays. We just gotta go get 'em."

"Yeah, Volpe is a top shortstop in the game today. That home run impressed the heck out of me, the way he battled."
