Yankees ‘have become masters of the excuse,’ Mike Francesa says

Mike Francesa does not want to hear about the Yankees’ injuries any longer. Or home run balls getting knocked down by the open roof. Or the Astros’ past cheating.

“The Yankees have become masters of the excuse,” the WFAN legend said on his BetRivers podcast after Houston wrapped up its ALCS sweep. “Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Get the result. That’s it. They need changes. They need wholesale changes.”

Francesa said he no longer believes the Yankees will do anything to win. But the first step following another “brutal and numbing” loss to the Astros is to move on from general manager Brian Cashman.
