Access the Yankees beat like never before

Don’t miss Greg Joyce’s text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he’s giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees.

You keep looking for signs. You keep looking for omens. It’s been a slog around the Yankees for a good six weeks now, they’d gone from 4 ½ up to four down in the AL East heading into Tuesday’s not-quite-must-win-but-not-quite-NOT-must-win game with the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. 

You know all about the whims and quirks of the long season, and if you ever forget, Aaron Boone is there after every game to hand you a glass of milk, some cookies, and some soothing words about how the sky isn’t really falling. 

But it gets old waiting for signs. 

It can get tiresome awaiting omens.
