When Yankees manager Aaron Boone said late Wednesday night after another sloppy loss that his team was really close to turning the corner, he must have taken a peek at the upcoming schedule.
Here come the stiffs, starting Friday night with the White Sox in The Bronx for three games.
The Yankees were swept away in three ugly games at Minute Maid Park by the Astros because they played sloppy baseball.
An Astros base runner fell down halfway to home and, because of a poor relay and lack of anticipation, the Yankees were not able to get Tony Kemp out as he scrambled his way back to third base.
