To say that the New York Yankees have been terrible in the ALCS is a massive understatement. Despite the team's struggles to finish the season, New York fans held out hope that they could turn it around in the postseason. However, their entire playoff run shows that nothing has changed for the pinstripes since the end of the regular season.
After barely getting past by the Cleveland Guardians, the Yankees have been completely molly-whooped by the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Houston's elite pitching has exposed New York's god-awful hitting, and the latter's pitching can't bail them out of their struggles. It's an embarrassing performance for a team pegged as a title contender at some point.
Naturally, the vocal Yankees fanbase loudly expressed their displeasure on Twitter. Their shut-out Game 3 loss has brought out feelings of despair and frustration on the bird app, and honestly, who can blame them?

The Phillies have 10 runs tonight. I don’t think the Yankees are going to reach 10 runs in the entire ALCS.

Even fans from the other teams have started mocking the Yankees, all while pointing out that Aaron Judge is set to be a free agent.

These are dark times for the Yankees fanbase, and it could get a lot worse after this year. As mentioned earlier, Aaron Judge is set to be a free agent. The star outfielder has not been shy in admitting that he's willing to test free agency. Losing Judge right after an epic season collapse will be the worst-case scenario.
Perhaps the Yankees can turn this around and create history. A 0-3 comeback would be a legendary story after all. Based off of their recent performances, though… there's not much hope in the Bronx for them to somehow eke out a comeback.
