With the Yankees mired in what is, for them, a span of several years worth of irrelevance, we haven’t had as many reasons recently to remember how obnoxious their fans and media are.
After all, the Yankees haven’t won a playoff game since Game 5 of the 2012 American League Division Series, the one where Nate McLouth missed a home run by something like two inches. The Yankees have not won more than 87 games in any of the past four seasons.
The Yankees have managed to pull off this streak of non-contention despite having a combined Opening Day payroll over the past four seasons of $869,093,097.
