The New York Yankees suffered another gut punch from the Boston Red Sox last night at Fenway Park with a heartbreaking 5-4 loss in 10 innings. It's not just a loss to the team you are chasing in the standings, it's the way you lost, again. One out from the celebration of victory, with the Bombers leading 3-1, Yankee reliever Chad Green served up a game-tying double to Red Sox slugger Kíke Hernández in the bottom of the 9th. If that wasn't bad enough, after taking the lead in the top of the 10th inning, 27 year old Brooks Kriske, with 10 big league innings under his belt took the soggy mound for the Pinstripes and proceeded to set a Major League Baseball record, no not in a good way.

Late this afternoon, after appearing on The Drive with Charlie & Dan, ESPN TV analyst Buster Olney reported that several New York Yankees tested positive for COVID-19 prior to tonight's scheduled second half opener against the first place Boston Red Sox. The 7pm game was immediately postponed. According to the ESPN reports, New York pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr. and Wandy Peralta were among those that tested positive.

The New York Yankees likely made it home on-time last night. Their jerseys, gloves, bats and hats, however, might have been a little late.

Now let’s take this series in perspective. The Yankees have played 77 games. More than half of the season is left. Yes they have lost all 6 games to the Red Sox but they play them 8 more times in July, 2 more in August and a final 3 in late September. There is time.

Where do you rank this year's World Series champions in league history?

The 2018 American League Championship Series is a joke! If Major League Baseball had any morals at all they would disqualify both the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros and start the series over with the New York Yankees and The Cleveland Indians because there's proof that both the Red Sox and the Astros are cheaters.

Buster Olney always has a blast making fun of Levack's love of the Yankees. So a day after a true beat down from the dreaded Red Sox, Buster was in rare form.

The Bronx is about to get one of the biggest three game series of this young baseball season when the top two record in the game face off. The New York Yankees will host the Boston Red Sox for the first time since the two teams brawled at Fenway.
