NEW YORK — Yankees fans may hate GM Brian Cashman right now, but he has a lot in common with them. Before the team tried to snap a nine-game losing streak on Wednesday night against the Nationals, Cashman slumped in a chair in Yankee Stadium’s press conference room and repeated much of what you can read on Twitter or in the New York tabloids these days.
He alternately described himself and the team as “embarrassed,” “not proud,” “disappointed,” “frustrated” and “angered.” He called the Yankees’ season “horrific,” a stretch he “wouldn't wish on anybody” (except, presumably, the Red Sox) and “a disaster.”
He added, “Obviously, we’re in a bad spot. We’re losing sleep over it.”
