Yankees Lose to Twins 6-1 as Joe Ryan Dominates Reeling New York Bats
The Yankees are no fun right now. They lost this game to the Twins 6-1. Minnesota ace Joe Ryan dominated them. Their hitters had virtually no chance in the anemic showing. It has been rumored that the Pinstripes would acquire catcher Ryan Jeffers from the Twins. They certainly need a catcher, but why would the Twins deal Jeffers if they are just 4 games out of the wild card?
The Yankees allowed two more unearned runs in this game. That adds to their astronomical total. Critics joke that all a team has to do to be the Yanks is to put the ball in play. Another keystone cops act in the field for the team in this game makes a fan of the team reluctantly have to accept this sad state of affairs. How many games do you think the Bombers will lose in their upcoming big series in Tampa?

The Trail of Tears
The Yankees are playing so badly right now that they are leaving their fans gobsmacked. They cannot hit, and were dominated by a great pitcher today in Joe Ryan. They are beset by horrible injuries, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. left this game with discomfort in his left big toe. The starting lineup for the team has no familiarity, as a result. They make awful fielding errors, and their starting pitchers, which had been a strength of this team, are starting to fail them.
