Rays’ dominance shines light on worst Yankees fears
NY Post
Esteem and empathy.
This is where the Yankees-Rays rivalry — I suppose calling it the “Rays-Yankees rivalry” better captures the moment — resides at this meaningful milepost of the 2021 season. It can’t get that intense when only one team is playing well. The Rays defeated the Yankees, 3-1, at a sunny Memorial Day matinee in The Bronx, the Yankees’ fourth straight loss and sixth in seven tries, as Aaron Boone’s bunch fell to 29-25 and dropped 5 ½ games behind Tampa Bay (35-20) in the American League East. At the one-third mark both spiritually (as per the holiday) and literally, the Yankees are on pace to finish 87-75 and miss the playoffs, an outcome that would arguably represent their worst season, viewed through a macrocosmic prism of where they are in their competitive cycle, since they began their run of consecutive winning seasons in 1993.
