George Lombard is reaching Mark Lewis territory — that’s a very bad thing

Mark Lewis may have some champagne ready for Friday’s Yankees-Red Sox game. Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr.’s stretch of committing errors in six straight games has him just one more error-filled game away from joining Lewis in a dubious club. Lewis, a former light-hitting infielder, is the last player to commit errors in seven straight games during the 1992 season with Cleveland, according to ESPN. Lombard has actually already made history with this streak reaching six straight games after he bobbled a grounder during Thursday’s 5-1 home loss to the Astros. He’s the first Yankee shortstop to do so since Roger Peckinpaugh in 1915, although that’s not bad company to be in considering the shortstop earned 1925 MVP honors. Lombard is also the first Yankee to have six blunder-filled games
