Yankees have grown progressively worse over last four seasons
I’m not mad. I’m not angry. I’m not upset. I’m not even annoyed or frustrated. I’m accepting of the Yankees’ disappointing ending because it was a disappointing season.
Yankees disappointingly in wild-card game for third time in four years
When the Yankees and Red Sox met in the 2004 ALCS I was a just-turned 18-year-old college student living in Beacon Hill in Boston.

The Yankees can't offer their manager a contract after three seasons of underachieving
I thought this season would be different. I really did. Then again, I have thought the last three seasons would be different, and they haven’t been. Once again, these Yankees weren’t good enough to win in the postseason, and I’m not sure they will ever be ready to.

The Yankees will give the ball to the worst of their starting pitching options to try to save the season and force a Game 5.
The Yankees are on the brink of elimination after back-to-back losses to the Rays
The high of the Yankees’ Game 1 win has been replaced by the lowest of lows after back-to-back losses have put them on the brink of elimination. They will now need to win two straight games against a team they haven’t won two straight against all season, a team they are 3-10 against in 2020.
The Yankees will think about their pitching decison forever if they are eliminated

The Yankees scored nine runs to pick up their ace in Game 1 of the ALDS
