After a month of mediocre baseball, the Yankees find themselves caught in a downward spiral. Over the last four days, the club has been outplayed in every aspect of the game. They got embarrassed by the lowly Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday, then absolutely walloped by the Red Sox. This stands out as a pathetic stretch of 2013 proportions.
With each passing inning, the team found new ways to humiliate themselves. At no real point did they seem capable of turning their fortune around. It’s difficult to process how poorly the Yankees have played of late.
