New York Yankees

The week, game by game

Each game's fan misery, from first comment to the next game. ● marks a blowup.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.

Worst game: Sat, Oct 3, L 0-1 @ Tampa Bay Rays

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

Boston got swept out of the Bronx 9-0 and 9-2, and the fanbase lost all composure in the best way, one poster admitting he "just fell to my knees in a Costco." The turning point was Boone sending Schlittler back out in the seventh, read around here as "the ULTIMATE 'fuckkkkkkk you' to the Red Sox." Then Tampa, 0-1, a shutout loss that dropped them to 0-1 and brought the familiar verdict about not deserving the World Series. Misery eased to 37 anyway. Joy here comes with a receipt.

What fans said

• “Shoutout to Boone for out managing the Red Sox last night. Sending Schlitter back out in the 7th was the ULTIMATE “fuckkkkkkk you” to the Red Sox and I’m here for it.”

• “What happens when a front office goes into an offseason publicly stating a need for more bat power after losing to the Yankees in the first round, and then doesn't address that need?”
