Some commented it was a delusion that is now over for the Yankees fans.
Yea the delusion is over. 14 games till we eliminated, 8 back. Absolute disgrace that this is what the Yankees have come to. What happened to the Yankees that my family grew up with? Why doesn’t ownership want the evil Yankees that won all the time that everyone hated back?
