It's been a rough stretch of games for the Yankees.
Sure, they're still well ahead of everyone else in the American League East. At the time of this writing, they're currently nine games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays.
And yes, Aaron Judge is still mashing the baseball. He currently leads every hitter in MLB with 46 dingers. To put that in perspective, the next closest player — Kyle Schwarber — has 34.
There's a lot going for New York, but fans in the Bronx are apparently sick of this stretch of losing baseball they've been subjected to since the beginning of August.
So bad, in fact, that they're turning the bleachers into a night not at the ballpark, but at the barbershop.

Including Tuesday night's 3-1 loss to the Rays, New York has now lost 11 of its last 14 games. This stretch includes a five-game losing streak that saw the Yanks get swept by the St. Louis Cardinals in four games, and subsequent series losses to the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and now, Tampa.
