This is it for the Yankees: their last chance. The Yankees have pissed away every opportunity this season to meet expectations and now they are down to their last one with eight of their next 10 games against the Red Sox. Play badly in these 10 games, and their season will be over with still two months to play.

Michael Hurley of CBS Boston joined me to talk about managerial changes since Red Sox fans have seen a lot of them over the last 10 years. The Red Sox have made five managerial changes and have had four managers since the start of the 2011 season. Meanwhile, Yankees fans have only had three managers since the start of the 1996 season. That could and should be four managers since the start of the 1996 season if things don’t change over the next 73 games.

Aaron Boone said, “The season is on the line,” and that was before the Yankees lost two of three to the Angels. One more bad weekend or week between now and the All-Star break, and the season will no longer be on the line … it will be over.

The Yankees played the Red Sox, so that means the Yankees lost. After scoring just three runs on Friday, the Yankees scored only two on Saturday, losing 4-2. The Yankees had a chance to go to Boston and have a big weekend to erase their deficit in the loss column, and instead, they have only let it grow.

The Yankees’ inconsistent season continued in Boston on Friday with a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. An all-right-handed lineup only scored three runs off Martin Perez, who is barely in the majors, Scumbag Domingo German and Luke Voit made errors, Gleyber Torres had another 0-for-4 and Phil Nevin got Gio Urshela thrown out at the plate with no outs. If you wanted to sum up the 2021 Yankees in a single game, Friday’s series-opening loss would be the perfect example.

The Yankees have won seven of nine, have won three straight series and have gotten themselves within striking distance of first place in the AL East, something that seemed impossible less than two weeks ago. Now they have a chance to tie the Red Sox in the loss column in a weekend series that is the biggest of the season to date.
