The Yankees Are Embarrassing

For $180 million - or however much it is now - Gothamist expects that there'd be a little more mojo than this. Players repeat the word "embarrassing" ad nauseam after the worst shutout in league history since 1900. And the Red Sox are nipping at their heels. This is a disgrace, and the only thing that's keeping New Yorkers' hopes alive is the idea of George Steinbrenner freaking out like never before. Of course, every other baseball fan is probably thrilling about this, but from our perspective, it's now September, there's no way the Mets are making the playoffs, so you've got to do your job, Yankees.
