NEW YORK -- As Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray was having yet another terrible outing Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium and then laughing about it as he was pulled in the third inning with his club down six runs, an ugly part of his past was discovered on his @sonnygray2 Twitter account.

One of his tweets from 2012 paints the right-hander as a racist.

Judge for yourself:

Thank goodness I wasn’t on Twitter when I was in Jr. High School.

“Regardless, this points up the perils of social media. I may go to my grave never having signed up for Twitter, Facebook, or the equivalent. Posting on Fr is risk enough!”

You think you have it bad...I’ve never signed up for those things either, plus I’ve never even had a cellphone!

They can’t break through on kneeling for the Anthem in baseball, so let’s go back in the archives to find something someone said, did, or thought as teenagers. Just wait another 5 years when Alexa is hacked and tells all that was said in someone’s home.

Ding, ding ding. We have a winner. This is #blm, #antifa, #resist all rolled into one. And this one is especially sweet for the left because it's the Yankees who don't have a special homo day.

I wouldn't consider never signing up for a social media account as being bad. Quite the contrary.

A cellphone, OTOH, is a different story. I can't imagine raising a teenager, especially one who has reached driving age or goes off to college, without one. But my wife and I use our smartphones almost exclusively for phone calls and text messaging.

Anyone who "waives" their smartphone over a credit card reader to pay for a cup of coffee or logs into any important account (bank, financial, etc.) with their smartphone deserves the personal nightmare that may result when your "secure" connection has been hacked.

SUPPOSEDLY already happened.

Was a ‘report’ over husband and wife talking about the neighborhood and neighbors and really tearing everyone and everything up.

Apparently ALexis(??) heard a name, dialed the number and the couple that were dialed heard more than they were supposed to.

Sounds ‘fishy’ BUT entirely possible...<: <:

D did the black friend tweet racist remarks? Notice how all of these supposed racist ball players aren’t a minority? I bet they’re not even looking at minority players tweets.

How come Obama and wifey aren't being accused of racisim....they were singing along with one of jay-z's songs using the forbidden word.

Further why isn't Jay-z in trouble along with the record company?

I really couldn’t care less what Sonny Boy tweeted in 2012.

What tickles me pink is that the lowliest of the low Orioles pummeled Gray and the hapless Yanks today. Go Birds!

Yanks are 6 and 6 against the cellar dweller Birds.

But THEY are going to go ALL THE WAY!!!!!

They saved themselves to being eliminated on August 7. Pushed it to the 8th.

EVERY NAT had a good day Monday...well may Kelly didn’t really appreciate it.

Saw a comment saying Nationals on Monday acted like a ‘pack of dogs’ that got a reprieve and went wild.

(Referencing Trade deadline that had EVERYBODY being traded. Talk about FAKE NEWS).

They only ‘traded’ one but saw a ‘report’ that Kintzler had been critical of the way Davey was handling the bullpen.

Then Kelly gets dumped for ‘dissing the team’ and today EVERYONE RAN EVERYTHING OUT.......
