Yankees Lose 9 In A Row For 1st Time In 41 Years…And Still Not A Peep From Hal
Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac here with another Sports Report for ya and today I’m getting right into it because I’m hopping mad! The Yankees are not just awful…they are becoming historically terrible at this point!
The Yanks lost their ninth straight game last night as they fell to the Nationals…2 to 1. They just can’t hit! They cannot freakin’ hit! No offense! NONE! It is the first time the Yankees have lost nine straight games in 41 years!
You gotta go all the way back to 1982 for a 9-game losing streak! And yet…where the hell is owner Hal Steinbrenner?! Hey doofus, you need to address this crisis in the Bronx, you coward!

And, according to Elias Sports Bureau, the Yankees are in danger of losing ten straight for the first time since 1913. The Yanks drop to 60 and 65, are in last place in the A.L. East, and may finish this terrible season under .500 for the first time in 30 years.
The Yankees have been outscored 53-20 and have not held a lead since the second inning of its 11-3 loss in Atlanta on Aug. 14. What is Hal Steinbrenner doing?! Why is no one getting fired?! Seriously!
How have general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone kept their jobs?! FIRE EVERYONE TODAY, Hal! Otherwise, you are truly a weak man and awful owner.

What would Hal’s dad, George, think of all this? I mean…he’d probably have half the roster and the coaches and front office shipped to Siberia by now! And he’d be right to do it!
This is embarrassing and totally unacceptable! Fix this NOW, Hal. And if you don’t have the passion and guts to be a sports franchise owner…then SELL THE TEAM. If you aren’t into it, Hal, get out while you and the Yankee organization still have a little dignity left. I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents.

The White Sox fired executive vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn, effective immediately, the team announced Tuesday. “Ultimately, the well-worn cliche that professional sports is results-oriented is correct,” owner Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. See, Hal?! THAT’S how a REAL owner acts!

Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield will replace Tom Brady as the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He says, quote, “I know how talented I am. I know what type of leader I am . . . everybody’s excited here.” Wow. From Brady to Baker. Good luck, Bucs fans!

Basketball. The National Basketball Players Association intends to file a grievance disputing the NBA’s $100,000 fine for James Harden over public comments he made earlier this month expressing displeasure after the Philadelphia 76ers failed to trade him.

11 Items to Make The Giants Fan In Your Life Say “Go Big Blue”
New York Giants Concealment Case
Not only is this item unique in the fact that you could hang it in your entryway, garage, or even man cave, but it’s a great item to keep all your essentials in one place. It has a sliding door to protect all your items and is an attractive-looking decoration for any Giants fan.
New York Giants New Era Throwback Long Sleeve Hoodie
I love everything about this long sleeve hoodie. Aside from the royal blue making the Giants logo pop, it has a drawstring hood to cover your head on the colder days and is perfect for both men and women.
NFL Hooded Face Cover
I know it seems a bit extreme but if you’ve braved the cold weather like I have a handful of times you’ve probably already added this to your cart. A hooded face cover is the perfect gift for any Giants fan in your life because it could possibly be the one thing that saves the day. It’s also a great item to pack when you plan a vacation for an away game this season.
Steel Tailgater BBQ Set
If this doesn’t scream football and New York Giants, I don’t know what does. If you’re heading to the stadium to grill some hotdogs and hamburgers this tailgater BBQ set is a must. It includes 8 pieces of heavy-duty stainless-steel tools. Your grill master will be thrilled and your stomach will thank you for it.
Wood NFL Cornhole Set
When the sun is still shining, and the warm temperatures are still here you might want to consider throwing a party at your home to kick off the season. This cornhole set is perfect for any backyard and yes of course on those tailgating days too. If you’re looking for some friendly competition this is the perfect purchase for you.
Ziploc Slider Storage Bags
You might be thinking why would I need these storage bags? Hear me out. It’s never a bad idea to pack Ziploc bags with you. These storage bags have the Giants logo right on them and are a decent size. I personally would even use them to bring some cash and perhaps my lip gloss into the stadium (depending on if you’re abiding by the clear bag policy).
NFL Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
A wireless speaker is a must during football season. While you can always play music at your tailgate or house party, you can also air the pre-game show in support of the New York Giants. Not only is it portable and lightweight but it’s the perfect outdoor speaker that has over a 30-foot range.
New York Giants Sweatshirt
Now, who doesn’t love a good ole classic hoodie? We selected this as a New York Giants Must Have because it not only looks comfortable but also is available in several colors such as black, royal blue, and sports gray.
NFL Women’s Soft Fleece Hoodie
No matter what the occasion is it’s always a good choice to have a soft fleece hooded sweatshirt in your closet. It can get chilly during football season but it’s also a nice item to have when you want to lounge around as well. This hoodie in particular has a classic look to it but most importantly showcases the Giants logo front and center.
New York Giants Pint Glasses
In my opinion, there’s no talking you out of purchasing a pint glass in general but especially if it’s customized with the New York Giants logo. You can use them at home or bring them to your tailgate. Plus, you can use it all year round whether your team is playing or not.
