WFAN legends Mike and the Mad Dog are united again in taking a strong stance against the many Yankees players who aren’t over the Houston Astros’ cheating.

They want Aaron Judge and the rest of the Yankees to stop harping on their team maybe being robbed in the 2017 American League Championship Series. The constant venting this week in Tampa led to Mike Francesa going on a rant in his Tuesday night WFAN podcast and XM Mad Dog Radio host Chris Russo doing the same Wednesday hosting MLB Network’s “High Heat.”

“Did the Astros cheat? Yes,” Francesa said on air. “But the idea that the Yankees can’t get over this season because of the fact that they were cheated, get past it. How about playing better. Be good enough that they can’t take it from you. Then you’ll be considered Yankees. Stop the whining.

“Nobody is going to put a little gift wrap on the trophy and hand it to you. You didn’t win it. Sorry you haven’t won in a long time. Go change it. Go win. When the other teams didn’t beat the Yankees, I didn’t hear them whine like that.”

Both Francesa and Russo contend the Yankees are off base for complaining because they only scored three runs in their four ALCS losses in Houston while the cheating was going on and because they’ve won championships getting great production from players linked to steroids, especially Alex Rodriguez in 2009 when the franchise won its last World Series.

“The Yankees were the absolute poster boys,” Russo said. “They ran a pharmacy from 1995 right up until 2009 as far as steroids are concerned. They had 26 players in one way or the other – Mitchell Report and everything else – who were wrapped up in steroids.

"I’ll go through the list if you wish. Everybody from Randy Velarde to the beloved little A-Rod, who by the way was dominate in the 2009 postseason. And he was juicing. And (Robinson) Cano was at second base (in 2009). How about (Jason) Giambi’s two homers against Pedro (Martinez in ALCS Game 7) in 2003? Melky Cabrera is another one.

‘The whole world was doing it, I get it, but the Yankees had a lot of success with players who either were doing steroids at the time as a Yankee or subsequently were punished for doing steroids in previous issues like A-Rod. So the Yankees have got to be careful as an organization of making too big of a deal about 2017.

"If the Yankees are going to throw stones, I’m going to throw ‘em back to a certain degree.”

Francesa feels the same.

"Do the Yankees want people to whine about the fact that they used guys who used steroids in series where they won championships? Do you want to hand those back? Of course not. Nor should they have to give them back.

“Without A-Rod the Yankees don’t win that championship in 2009. We don’t know if A-Rod was doing something or not. Obviously, at different times he was.

“But we know that through the years all different Yankees were doing steroids. Do we want to forget about that or do we want to remember that? Do I hear the Yankees saying give back the Jeffrey Maier game? That play was absurd. Do you want to give that back?

“This whining from the Yankees … You’re above it. You’re the Yankees, stop! The Yankees look bad whining about this. You’re the Yankees. You want to whine about championships you didn’t win? You weren’t good enough. You haven’t been good enough for a long time to win a championship. Go win one! You’re good enough this year. Go win one.”
