Alonso lacks any leadership skills in my opinion. It just seems like he's either not able to, or doesn't care to take on a leadership role on this club. Body language, what he says and how he says it would put anyone to sleep, regardless of how many HR's he hits. This team, like any team, needs locker room chemistry.

Since 2004 the Yankees are 186-165 against the Red Sox. Neither team has dominated the other but the Yankees have the overall edge while Boston has won both of their postseason matchups (an ALDS and a one game wild card) Past two years though Boston is 13-6 vs the Yankees.

Your problem is not Soto. You'll find that out after he leaves in 2025.

Mike i was in the GWB and these big semi trucks were swerving in and out of lanes what is going on with these truck drivers.

Mike is assuming Stanton will be good when he comes back. His history is that he either injures something else or goes back to striking out. But Jeff McNeil to Yankees might make sense.

I don’t think Rizzo is guaranteed his spot back.

Amen, Mike….no way that football player’s car he was a passenger in was driving above board! No fucking way

We were only four one-run home runs from winning. What's the problem?

It's still early. Let see what is going on in late August.

Holmes is an all star because there aren’t many good closers out there.

Nimmo should have been All Star in2023. If Mike says yes in 2024 he should be in.

Rice has done what he can so far. If he is hitting when/if Rizzo comes back you cannot bench him. And why, Mikey, would you "subtract those three at bats"? They happened.

As a life long Red Sox fan before 2004 the Yankees owned the Red Sox since then not so much...

Gotta give Rizzo his job back? Mike..... come on. Rizzo is no longer a major league player. Since Rice was brought in, he's tied for second on the team in base hits. Judge has 21 since then; Rice and Volpe are tied with 14. Mike.... get over your man-crush on Rizzo. It's over.

When will Yankee fans realize Steinbrenner-lite and partners make hundreds of millions every season regardless of how many games they win. The Mets are a .500 team period. Having a wild card after 162 games is a joke.
