New York Yankees fans enraged after team's loss vs White Sox: "Bunch of overpaid, overrated, overpraised losers"
The New York Yankees' game against the Chicago White Sox summed up their performance all season: an inconsistent team failing to get results.
Their series opener against the White Sox ended on a sour note as the Yankees lost 1-5. Chicago won their third consecutive game on the back of some late offense and solid defensive work.
Fans took to Twitter to voice their claims after another disappointing showing:
The New York Yankees are becoming (or should I say ARE) a national DISGRACE!!!! I’M DONE WITH THIS BUM ASS, TRASH ASS TEAM, AND BRIAN CASHMAN HAL STEINBRENNER SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED AND ASHAMED OF THE PRODUCT THEY HAVE PUT FORTH!!!!!💀💀💀
A BUNCH OF OVERPAID, OVERRATED,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@TalkinYanks Season is over guys, it’s football season
@TalkinYanks I will not be watching tomorrow. Only watched today for Cole. Team has no guts. I wish someone would have the heart to call this team out even though it seems like it’s already over now
@TalkinYanks So glad the Yanks changed hitting coaches. Just imagine if they didn’t…
@TalkinYanks Reaching new depths every week.
@TalkinYanks I think I might be saying this early but maybe the offense isn’t good
@TalkinYanks Feel bad for whoever still watches this trash team
@TalkinYanks This has to be the worst situational hitting team in the history of baseball. A guy with a 5.5 era has 4 ks in 2 innings.
@TalkinYanks When Boone said it's right in front of us, I guess he was talking about every other team in the division?

@TalkinYanks This team is embarrassingly bad. It’s the hardest Yankee team I’ve ever had to watch. They literally can’t do anything right it’s crazy. Not doing anything at the deadline either way buy or sell is mind boggling.
As for the Yankees' offense, there wasn't much to say. They showed potential but failed to convert when most needed. They went 1-9 with 12 runners on base with another horror 1-run game.
On defense, things seemed to be fine as Gerrit Cole helped to keep his team in the hunt going as deep as the eighth but earned two runs in the innings. Chicago's offense scored three in the end as Andrew Benintendi drove in a run off a sacrifice fly and Luis Robert Jr. got a 2-RBI double.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone gets ejected for AL season-high sixth time
Aaron Boone was involved in a heated argument against home plate umpire Laz Diaz.
Boone was visibly upset throughout the game as some of the calls made by Diaz were outside the strike zone. In the eighth inning, with Volpe at the plate, the official called him out on a third strike which again seemed to be just missing the strike zone.
Boone couldn't hold it back anymore, and he gave Diaz a mouthful. After a verbal exchange, Boone appeared to mimic the official, and is expected to receive another suspension as a result of this outburst.
