BOSTON — Sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden in the mid-’80s, the late Maury Allen was watching the Knicks sleepwalk through another loss that had the crowd howling.
“You can be bad in this town but not boring. You can be boring if you are good,’’ the former Post sportswriter said. “But bad and boring in this town is a death sentence.’’
With one leg of a six-month gig ending, the Yankees were qualified as bad (8-13) going into Saturday night’s game against the Red Sox in Fenway Park. And they were boring. They never have been “Animal House’’ in double knits, but they haven’t lacked for personalities, either.
