Postseason 2020

Dodgers & Braves were also 1-2 in MLB in runs scored (349 & 348)

Over the past 8 seasons, the NYY have won:
1 division title
0 pennants
0 titles

Here is an exhaustive list of every one of the 15 current American League teams with fewer division titles OR fewer pennants OR fewer titles than the NYY over that time span:
White Sox
Mariners

Thatā€™s it. So you can see why, with the ALCS starting tomorrow, the current top headline on ESPN.com/mlb is ā€œHOW DO WE FIX THE YANKEES???ā€

Seriously, go fuck yourselves.

Iā€™m obviously hoping for the Astros to advance but Iā€™m fine with the Rays moving on as well. Itā€™s a win-kind of win scenario for me. Fuck the Yankees and go Braves!

Iā€™m with you. I was never a Rays fan, but obviously have many friends and family who are, and they are an easy team to like. Not necessarily a win-win, but I will easily root for the Rays, should they advance.

And as much as Iā€™d love to knock the Yankees outā€¦againā€¦their fans having to watch the Astros play is a joy all itā€™s own.

I read one article today about why the Yankees should be everyoneā€™s favorite team. The reasonā€¦and this was in all seriousnessā€¦they try harder, evidenced by their willingness to outspend everyone else. Other teams, specifically the Rays, should be hated because theyā€™re just pocketing their extra $300MM in revenue instead of spending it on payroll like the Yankees do. Theyā€™re not even trying, apparently.

It was like reading why donā€™t the starving children in Africa just dial up DoorDash and have them deliver some Chinese food? Completely serious.

Iā€™ve always pulled for the Rays and it was never a serious issue until the AL move. I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m a ā€œfanā€ but i always want them to win unless itā€™s the Astros. Seeing them beat the Yankees in their first postseason meeting was sublime.

Yep. And there is no shortage of loudmouthed, New York assholes in Tampa. So maybe theyā€™ll shut the fuck up for the next month.

I have a good friend here whoā€™s from LI and a big Yankees fan. Heā€™s probably one of the least asshole-ish fans iā€™ve encountered but he still canā€™t help being condescending in a way iā€™m not really sure is conscious. It probably is because, wellā€¦heā€™s a New Yorker.

Damn, I missed some pure Yankee hating porn last nightā€¦
Stupid hurricane.

As a former frequent traveler it has always been my observation that there is no shortage of loudmouthed, New York assholes in a distressingly large number of places.

Jomboy finally posted his video, and he was surprisingly neutral.

Fuck Jomboy. I hope he canā€™t fuckin sleep for the next year.

I get that itā€™s cute to hate on Jomboy, but he is honest about his fanship and wears his heart on his sleeve.

He deserves to be mocked for his Yankee knob-schlobbing, but heā€™s not nearly as bad as yā€™all make him out to be.

The actual paid baseball media is 1000x worse than him.

Ankle grabber.

Heā€™s the one who started the whole ā€œAltuve was wearing a buzzerā€ bullshit, right?

Yes.

Someone fed him that crap and he ran with it.

I loathe much of what Jomboy says about the Astros and his fueling of the ā€œscandal,ā€ but like Mark, I do not hate him or boycott his channel. He does lots of good work. He is a diehard Yankees fan for sure, but he makes that clear and is no worse than any of us would be with an Astros channel posting about Astros rivals or about the Red Sox or the Yankees. Read any random GZ to determine how objective and fair we are. Drehlich, Heyman, and the ESPN-led ignorant media are much worse than Jomboy.

I donā€™t have time for all the content available that I would like to see. I sure donā€™t have time for that Jomboy dude.
