After clinching an ALCS berth in a decisive game five of the ALDS, Yankee fans flooded the streets in the Bronx and chanted, "We want Houston!"
Four games and four losses later, they would likely want to take that back.
The Yanks were swept by the Astros on Sunday night, the fourth straight time they have been eliminated from the postseason by Houston, and the third straight time that it came in the ALCS, with the Bombers one series win away from getting back to the World Series, a precipice they haven't experienced since 2009, before the Astros made their migration to the American League to set up eight years of torture for the Yankees.
So, instead of more celebrating in the Bronx, there was only replays of those "We want Houston" chants, trolling a fanbase that is once again left seeking major changes to build a team that can compete with the Astros they so badly wanted to take down in the ALCS.
