Brandon Tierney is disgusted with the status and complacency surrounding the Yankees.
The Yankees are off to a 15-14 start this season, tied for last place in the AL East with the Red Sox and eight games behind the first-place Rays.
On WFAN’s “Tiki & Tierney” on Monday, Tierney blew up the Bombers.
“The run differential right now is +2 — +2! — with a payroll of almost $300 million,” Tierney began.
“Now, for my own health, for my own sanity, I can’t scream about this every day the rest of the year, but it needs to be said again. The fact that Brian Cashman got a four-year extension is a joke! It is an absolute joke!”
Tierney does not believe Hal Steinbrenner is living up to his father’s legacy.
“And it’s a reminder that Hal can’t shine his dad’s shoes,” Tierney continued.
“George Steinbrenner did a lot wrong, but I can tell you this, if George was owner of the Yankees: He would be fired, Cashman, his son would be fired and Aaron Boone would be fired.”
“And I’m not even sure that it’s Aaron Boone’s fault, but the fact that there’s no recourse — if I’m Hal today, I’ve got to at least throw the Yankees fans a bone and say, ‘Yo, Aaron Hicks, as much as I don’t want to eat this money …’”
Tierney said he has had it up to here with talking about Hicks, who is batting .159 with just one RBI this season.
“As much as I am tired of talking about Aaron freaking Hicks, who’s still on this team, for some maddening reason, you are not the New York Yankees when you trot that BUM out on the field every day,” Tierney said.
“He plays. He stinks! There’s no recourse! The Yankees aren’t earning their at-bats! They’re playing no matter what they do! It’s an embarrassment what the Yankees are.”
