The New York Yankees season ended in misery once again Wednesday night as they were eliminated by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Despite saving face and narrowly avoiding a sweep with a Game 3 comeback win, the Pinstripes were unable to completely salvage the American League Division Series in the Bronx.
Aaron Judge and co. suffered a 5-2 defeat to the Blue Jays in a do-or-die Game 4 to send them packing from the MLB playoffs.
The result sees Toronto advance to the ALCS for the first time in nine years, while New York’s season ends in yet another bitter end, just one year removed from their crushing World Series defeat.
The knockout loss, which marks the 16th straight year without a 28th ring for the Yankees, sent New York fans into a meltdown.
Yankees supporters immediately flooded social media with calls for manager Aaron Boone to be fired in what has become somewhat of an annual post-defeat postseason tradition for the Bronx Bombers.
‘Fire Boone,’ one blunt fan pleaded, while another called for a host of Pinstripes to be axed, adding: ‘I hope they get rid of the manager, GM, SS and that big mouth 2nd baseman.’
‘What’s the excuse going to be this year for failing again and still keeping Boone and Cashman…,’ another said.
A fourth chimed in: ‘Wow [Jasson] Dominguez bats 1.000 in the postseason. An extra base hit and run scored… nice move Boone… #moron.’
‘Get Aaron Boone the f*** out of New York,’ another piled on.
