The heat is starting to turn up on Aaron Boone

Think of the Yankees’ current tumble as the Tiffany version of a dumpster fire. Wherein, if this thing can’t be extinguished, the perfectly groomed store manager will try on a pair of gold-encrusted goat’s horns.

The Yankees suffered their second straight one-run loss to the checked-out Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon, 3-2 at Yankee Stadium, to drop to 8-11 in their last 19 games and set up a dreaded possibility for their next game: Thanks to the Red Sox’s 4-3 defeat of the Mets at Fenway Park, a Boston victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night in The Bronx would give the Sawx their third straight American League East title.
