VIDEO: Mike Francesa Jinxed the Hell Out of Masahiro Tanaka Hours Before He Was Shelled in Boston
By Brendan Azoff
Mike Francesa's takes and timing keep on getting worse, as the infamous talk show host has always been known for his scorching hot opinions which are usually incredibly incorrect. On Thursday's show Francesa discussed what a stud Tanaka was, and just a few hours later the veteran hurtler allowed 12 earned runs in 3.1 innings.

Mike is probably going to want this video clip taken down, as his incredibly bad take came just before the Yankees righty got absolutely destroyed by the Red Sox lineup.
"Real Deal" Masahiro Tanaka gave up seven runs before getting out of the first, miraculously topping his last brutal start against the Red Sox which came in London. He exited the game having given up 12 runs. Yikes.

All in all, it was a bad day for New York sports, between those who take the field and those who are paid to discuss the ramifications.
