The Yankees blew a late lead on Friday night to the Cardinals, were shut out on Saturday and blew a three-run lead on Sunday. They have now lost five straight and 16 of their last 25 games, having gone 21-23 since June 19. The Yankees are falling apart from a production and health standpoint, and it's foreshadowing another disappointing end to a season.

Aaron Boone inexplicably played Joey Gallo on Thursday night, and Gallo went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. The worst everyday player in Major League Baseball can't play in another game for the Yankees.

The Yankees traded for Andrew Benintendi late on Wednesday night, and it was a solid move. But it can't be the only move. The Yankees need a lot of help if they want to win the World Series, and they need to acquire that help by Tuesday afternoon.

The two most important games of the second half for the Yankees came in a doubleheader on Thursday in Houston, and they lost both games. With the 0-2 day, the Yankees’ lead in the loss column over the Astros for the best record and 1-seed in the American League is now at just two games.

The Yankees beat the Red Sox 6-5 on Thursday in the first game between the rivals in three months. The Yankees had a supposed enormous advantage on the mound with Gerrit Cole, but the Yankees' "ace" allowed five runs, all on two Rafael Devers home runs. The two teams could very well meet in the ALDS or ALCS, and with Cole's issues against the Red Sox, how can he be trusted against them in October?

The Yankees won the first game of their three-game series against the A's on Tuesday 9-5, and even though they are not playing the Astros, I can't stop thinking about that. That's how important and telling the series over the weekend was.

The Yankees overcame two three-run deficits to beat the Astros with a 7-6 walk-off win on Thursday night at the Stadium. Aaron Hicks had his biggest hit and biggest moment of the season in the bottom of the ninth, and Aaron Judge ended the game with a single on the eve of his unnecessary anticipated arbitration battle with the Yankees. This season has to end with a World Series win.

The Yankees trailed the Rays 3-0 and 4-1 and managed to come back to win 5-4, thanks to a two-home run night from Aaron Judge and a clutch, two-run home run from Jose Trevino. The Yankees won yet another series and are now 7-3 against the Rays this season.

The Yankees beat the Rays for a fourth straight game on Monday, winning 4-2 at Tropicana Field. Gerrit Cole was dominant, the offense did just enough and Wandy Peralta closed the door in the ninth as the Yankees improved to a ridiculous 50-17.
