Brian Cashman was blunt in his assessment of the New York Yankees' play to date.

"We suck right now," Cashman said. "As bad as we can be."

Despite the statement, the general manager yet again issued support for manager Aaron Boone.

"This is not an Aaron Boone problem," Cashman said. "This is not a coaching staff problem."

Cashman shifted the blame away from Boone toward himself.

"It's easy from my chair to say, 'Let me throw something overboard to just satisfy the masses.' It's harder to actually stick with what you've got because you believe in it," he said. "These people care. They're working their ass off. They're really good at what they do. We're not getting the results. I'm the head of baseball operations. That's more on me than them."
