BRONX \u2013 New York newspaper headline writers had a field day in Monday\u2019s editions after the scuffling Yankees gave up 23 runs over two American League Division Series losses to the Blue Jays in Toronto last weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cD\u2019Oh Canada\u201d was splashed in big block letters across the New York Post\u2019s sports page while \u201cNorth Scar\u201d was the headline on the game story.<\/p>\n

Newsday went with \u201cCanadian Clubbed\u201d and the Daily News used \u201cBummer, Eh!\u201d on its sports page.<\/p>\n

The Yankees lead all big-league teams with 27 World Series titles, but the last crown was back in 2009. New York won the American League pennant last year but fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re used to winning,\u201d said longtime baseball writer Ronald Blum of The Associated Press. \u201c(Some) 40 years of (late owner) George Steinbrenner browbeating \u2018Winning or bust\u2019 has taken a hold in the fanbase. So anything other than a World Series title is considered a failure.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, going to the World Series and falling apart in Game 5 is considered a stain on the franchise\u2019s history by most of the fanbase.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Yankees manage to pull even, a decisive Game 5 would be played Friday in Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of buzz (here), but there was a lot of buzz in Toronto,\u201d said New York Post columnist Jon Heyman. \u201cI was very impressed, the fans were really, really into it. It was really a great atmosphere I thought there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays won the Fall Classic in 1992 and \u201993. Toronto\u2019s last playoff series win came in 2016.<\/p>\n
