The NY Yankees are arguably the greatest and most successful sporting team in the history of MLB. Founded in 1903, the New York Yankees have won 20 AL East titles, 40 AL pennants, and 27 World Series Championships. The Yanks have won more titles than any other team throughout all the Major sporting leagues in North America.

Along similar lines, the Yankees are leading the American League East Division at 0.615 (72-45). Despite being at the top of the table, since July 9th, they have lost 22 of their 33 games. After their last night’s defeat against Tampa Bay Rays, the Pinstripes have shockingly lost five straight series, and the disappointed fans have reacted rather humorously.

Disappointed and Sardonic Fans of the NY Yankees

Last night, the New York Yankees took on the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium. Hoping for some respite from the consecutive losses, the Rays started off with some damage and took a 0-3 lead. However, the pitchers covered up well and limited any runs post the first innings. And once again, it was the batters who disappointed, leading the Yankees to a 1-3 loss.

After remaining 1-3, down in the 8th innings, and given their poor performance over the past few games, the dismayed Yankees fans turned the bleachers into a barbershop. The caption empathizes with the Yankee fans and rightly says, “The Yankees are so tough to watch right now.”
