During the Yankees' humiliating 2-1 loss to the Nationals on Tuesday night, WFAN radio announcer Suzyn Waldman was caught on a hot mic sharing her thoughts on the Yankees. The result sent New York to its ninth consecutive loss, the city's lowest losing streak since the 1982 season. A commercial was coming close to an end during WFAN's live broadcast of the game before Waldman was seen saying, 'God, this is boring.'

After the team slumped to their ninth straight loss on Tuesday night, their worst losing streak in 41 years, New York Yankees fans are left bleak. The Yankees are winless since beating the Marlins on August 11, 1982, the first month of a 79-win season when they brought together three managers in Bob Lemon, Gene Michael, and Clyde King. Their poor form continued in a 2-1 loss to the Washington Nationals, which saw Tommy Kahnle throw a go-ahead homer to CJ Abrams with two outs in the eighth inning.

George Frazier, a relief pitcher who appeared in two World Series appearances over a decade-long MLB career before going on to become a broadcaster, died in Tulsa on Monday at the age of 68.

Frazier has been remembered by Colorado Rockies fans as the team's color commentator from 1998 to 2015.
