How In The World Does This Guy Still Have A Job?

You know what’s more consistent than the Yankees making early playoff exits? The Yankees front office defending Aaron Boone like he’s a national treasure. It’s July 2025, and somehow we’re still here—watching this team unravel under the leadership of a guy who should be managing a Little League team in suburban Ohio, not the most storied franchise in baseball history.

Let’s make one thing crystal clear: here at Bleeding Yankee Blue, we’ve been banging the drum about Boone’s lack of leadership since Day One. Not Day One of this losing streak. Not Day One of his tenure. I’m talking about the day he strolled into the Bronx and took over for Joe Girardi, like some fanboy who wandered onto the field and never left. We saw the red flags immediately. You? You’re just catching up.

Tonight’s 12-5 embarrassment against the Blue Jays wasn’t just a bad night—it was the kind of humiliating loss that would’ve had George Steinbrenner breathing fire and Boone cleaning out his locker by sunrise. THAT’S THE WAY IT USED TO BE! But alas, Big George is gone, and now we’ve got Hal “Soft Hands” Steinbrenner at the helm, where instead of action we get tweets and press conferences full of empty platitudes. It’s like watching a house burn while someone politely asks the fire to chill out.

This is what Boone does: he smiles, claps, and talks about “turning the page” while the team melts down. The Yankees are 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position. They’ve lost 7 of 9. Once up seven games in the AL East, now barely hanging onto a one-game lead. It’s not just bad baseball—it’s mismanaged, uninspired, lost baseball.

And don’t give me the “Boone’s doing his best” speech. Managing is easy when you’re winning. A monkey could do it with a 7-game lead in June. The real test is when things go sideways. That’s when you need instincts. Fire. Strategy. Accountability. Boone has none of that. 

The only fire he’s shown is when he tweaked his knee playing pickup basketball after his 2003 ALCS walk-off. That’s the last time this guy was relevant in a positive way, and even then, he managed to screw it up. That wasn’t just a boneheaded moment—it was a preview of the baseball brain we’ve been cursed with ever since.

And yet… we kept him. Year after year, excuse after excuse, blowout loss after lifeless press conference. Eight seasons of nothingness. Boone praising guys like Anthony Volpe even when they’re booting grounders and hitting .198, while throwing shade at guys like Jazz Chisholm for a defensive error tonight. The hypocrisy is nauseating. Boone coddles his favorites like a Little League dad whose kid bats ninth but gets the game ball anyway. Accountability? Never heard of her.

And here’s the kicker—Yankee fans everywhere are finally starting to catch on. They’re mad. They’re frustrated. But if you’re just waking up to the Boone Disaster Era now? Sorry, you’re late to the party. We’ve been screaming from the top of the Stadium since 2018. Boone isn’t just in over his head—he’s not even qualified to bag groceries. But sure, let’s keep handing him the keys to the Ferrari… he’s gonna fuck it up.

This isn’t about a bad stretch of games. This is about a pattern—a documented era—of mediocrity. Boone is the king of soft excuses and postgame nonsense. And the front office? Equally guilty. The press conferences? Stupid. The softball interviews with Boone and Jomboy? No need for them, they’re a blowjob anyway.  Many in the New York Media won’t even attack this guy because they want access to the players. Screw the access, how about speak the truth. If you are a true, TRUE fan you cannot possibly be happy about Aaron Boone as your manager. We are fans and we are NOT! It’s been an awful 8 years with this guy. And so, I say… you want to fix this team? Start with the manager. Fire Aaron Boone. Get a leader in here. Someone who isn’t afraid to get in a player’s face or speak the truth when things are crumbling.

Until then, the Yankees will keep spinning their wheels, wasting talent, and lowering the bar for what it means to wear the pinstripes.  We will never win a championship with this guy in charge.  It’s plain and simple.

No, we’re not panicking because of this recent losing streak. We’re just tired of being right.
