It's getting ugly

It's getting ugly and I'm not just talking about the on-the-field stuff. Even the level-headed Tyler Kepner is starting to really get ugly:

It is late August, the Boston Red Sox are in town, and a poor showing by the gurgling Yankees could sink their playoff hopes. This may be the closest the Yankees get to the postseason, and Alex Rodriguez is in October form.
......
The Yankees are 11-12 in August, and Rodriguez has grounded into nine double plays in the month while hitting .238. If they cannot depend on Rodriguez in the clutch, the Yankees have little hope of a monumental comeback.

I can only wonder what Lupica and the real screamers will say today.
