As I said on the thread, this game was lost in the first inning when the Yankees failed to score despite second and third with no outs, then gave up two runs in the bottom of the inning. It's so easy to see exactly the moment where the Yankees decide to lose a game.

I think Yamamoto's theory as applied to the Yankees is the correct one. It's not first inning failures (Pearl Harbor) or mid-game GIDPs/HRs allowed (Midway) or Clay Holmes (Hiroshima). It's that any game the Yankees play is more likely than not to prove disastrous simply because, despite Judge and Soto, the Yankees refuse to win (aside from an occasional 14-4 banzai charge) and harness enormous, unmatchable ineptitude in the playing of baseball.

You also now have me thinking of the leadership as Boonamoto, Cashmanjo and Halihito, but Paul doesn't like it when I make up insulting nicknames.

Tonight, the Yankees, the RailRiders (AAA), both games, the Patriots (AA), the Renegades (High A), and the Tarpons (A), all did the same thing: LOSE!

wasn't one of those several losses that left the fans thinking that everything is broken.

this was a contest between two mediocre teams overseen by barely mediocre umpires.

Umpiring was way off. Hate the sutomatic on 3-0, the sitomatic ball on 0-2

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
