Aaron Boone Flips Out on Media as Yankees Losing Continues

As I wrote for Fox Sports New Jersey

Aaron Boone is no happy camper. Nobody rooting for nor associated with the Yankees is happy right now. Understandably so; New York lost for the 15th time in its last 19 games after falling to the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 on Saturday. It was the third straight win for Toronto in this series, and marks the sixth straight series loss for the Bronx Bombers.

For a team that was once the best team in baseball, and appeared to be on its way to possibly challenging the 1998 New York Yankees for most regular season wins in franchise history, things have gone south fast.

And when things go south in the Bronx, the pressure gets ratcheted up.

Boone displayed his frustration in his postgame news conference, decrying answering questions about the skid and slamming the podium.

"I got to quit answering these questions about this ..., we got to play better period. The best thing is it's right in front of us," said Boone as he slammed the podium. "It's right here and we can fix it. It's there and we can run away with this thing. We have the players to do. We got to do it. If we don't score, it's tough to win. We got to do better."

WATCH HERE!!!

Perhaps the good news for New York is that Giancarlo Stanton is rehabbing with Somerset. He was 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Somerset's 5-3 loss to Bowie on Saturday night.

The Yankees try to salvage a game in this four game series on Sunday before welcoming the Mets into the Bronx on Monday and Tuesday.

Apparently Boone isn't the only one feeling the pressure right now. Yankees fans are irate over the team's performance in recent weeks.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance" that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end. While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second? Why it Makes Sense: Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas. The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November. Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

RAVENS 24 - JETS 9 In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster. A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most. If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards. Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament. The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself. George Fa...
