The Yankees fans and the local media have lost their minds.

@yankeemegs.bsky.social Don't you think it's lunacy when we are upset the Yankees have not won a championship in 14 years yet so many teams have a championship drought? The Mariners have never been to the World Series.

I never thought the Yankees were a championship team. Yet, you had the local media, Yankees bloggers & fans gaslighting all of us thinking this was a championship team. Any knowledgeable seamhead like us knows this team had issues that could not be camouflaged such as failing to put the ball in play

This year was different: Yankees gave it their worst. My column: lesliemonteiro.substack.com/p/this-year-was-different-yankees-gave

This year was different: Yankees gave it their worst

Another season, another unfulfilled promise, another failure.

@yankeemegs.bsky.social 16 years of no championship by the Yankees. Unacceptable. Think Knicks' title drought of 1973. What a waste of time this was.

Aaron Glenn better tread lightly.

My column:

Glenn better tread lightly

If the 0-5 Jets are in this trajectory the rest of the season, Aaron Glenn could be one-and-done as Jets head coach

Englebert knows her time is ticking

WNBA commissioner Cathy Englebert is all but gone after Napheesa Collier went scorched earth on her in a press conference on Tuesday.

Why are Yankees fans assholes?

Better yet, why are New York sports fans so vulgar?

It's comically amusing because New York is a front-running, fickle sports town. I can make a case that it's overrated.

Yankees are not winning anything with him. He will find a way to screw up, Meg. I am still shaking my head about Nestor Cortes pitching in relief in last year's World Series when he hasn't pitched in a long time. That was stupid.

Boone and Yankees don't get it.

My Game 1 AL Wild-Card Series column:

Boone and Yankees don't get it

Once again, the Yankees and manager Aaron Boone try to show they know more than anyone by taking Max Fried out because the analytics told them and it burned them in the end.

@yankeemegs.bsky.social Serious question. Why do Aaron Boone and the Yankees want to act like they are the smartest men in the room and we are just bunch of stupid people? The arrogance of that organization bemuses me. Taking Fried out in the 7th inning when going well. Really? So stupid.
