2020 MLB Season...

[SWC75]

The players were all given the option to opt out of the season.

And if enough of them do that...

 

[KaiserUEO]

The Marlins slapped them around in 2003. Never forget.

didnt really slap them around, but a loss is a loss.

that series is remembered for 4 things...

1. Aaron Boone in the ALCS, which at the time, made the WS moot.
2. Jeff Weaver
3. David Wells' back
4. Beckett Andy Pettitte-ing Andy Pettitte, like he did to Smoltz

Hold the phone. You lost to the Marlins in a. Era where anything short of a ws.is a failure. You listen to Francesca he said people in the Marlins front office thought they had no chance to win that series.

CuseRunner should’ve put in more tee-work, since he’s so integral to the success of the whole operation.

not saying it wasnt a failure, it felt more like one after 04.

in 03 there was still sux euphoria to keep that WS as an ehh moment.

Weaver, choking away 2 games and Wells' not answering the bell in game 5...were 2 unscripted bad moments.

hes got work to do to even make the Yankee Wack Pack.

hes like eddie the produce guy.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld when Jerry is going to do career day at his school and George offers to do a segment. "We won the World series" and Jerry says " And you were integral"

[upperdeck]

just do it.

 

[Arangeman]

This is shaping up to be the best women’s softball season ever

lol, that’s exactly what came to mind when I typed the word “integral”.

Obviously talking crap is part of the sports fan experience, but CuseRunner has been going way out of his way to talk crap about the Yankees successes when it doesn’t even make sense to do so.

It’s like: “damn, half the Marlins have COVID and a bunch of games are getting cancelled. This is worrisome.”

CR: “YEAH WHO CARES, THE MARLINS SUCK AND THE YANKEES HAVE 27 CHAMPIONSHIPS SO TAKE THAT BITCH!!!”

He’s integral to keeping you guys busy - that’s for sure.

 

[OrangeDW]

Saw a stat where the league average is just .229 so far. Obviously very early and lots of guys often get off to slow starts...

But how much of this could be defenses just getting too good at positioning? So many hard hit balls that based on years of baseball watching experience look like hits, that end up being right at people.

 

[Alsacs]

2 world series 2000 and 2009 pal. Cheated out of a chance at another in 2017 and 2018. Astros in 2017 and Red Sox to a lesser extent in 2018.

Lol.
The Yankees were cheating as well.
Everyone in the game knows they did it as well.
They people in the OF sending signals in.
I don’t care but you are the type of fan who deserves to be reminded your team cheats just like the others.

Yankees celebrated that 2003 LCS like they won the WS.

Yankees gagged that WS.
I remember the Yankees in game 4 extra inning having the bases loaded and choking then David Wells taping out of game 5 after one innin but still they should have won that series.
Yankees were huge favorites in 2003.

Since 2004 the Sox have become a co-evil empire to the Yankees.

Yankees lost game 1 and all of NY was either still drunk or hungover and didnt give flyin fluck.

we had Moose, Pettitte and Clemens on deck.

W, W...extra inning Weaver choke job.

then it was Wells and and the aforementioned Pettitte game.

happened in the blink of an eye...

National league teams should never beat the Red Sox or Yankees if they reach the WS.
If they reach the WS they are good.
No national league team until they become a full time DH league should have the roster to beat an AL champ Red Sox or Yankees team.
Sox are 16-3 in the WS since 2004 4 Titles.
Those late 90s Yankees teams took care of business in the WS.
The 2001 WS you faced Schilling and Johnson 5 of 7 games that was why you lost that one and you still should have won it if Mo Rivera didn’t gag.

Last 20 years, the AL has won 10 and the NL has won 10...

 

[Alsacs]

Yeah but the Red Sox are 4-0.
It depends on the team.
AL superpowers shouldn’t lose the WS.

Indians/Royals types don’t spend what the Red Sox and Yankees do.

03 redsux wouldve steamrolled the marlins.

the 03 Yankees were tired and just won the only series the City really cared about that year.

the 04 debacle, has all of us beating ourselves up for the way we felt in 03...

 

[Briancuse]

I can't wait until Steve Cohen buys the Mets fires Brodie and sends Diaz and Cano packing.

Multiple Cardinals players tested positive.

We are one team outbreak away from the season being canceled.

 

[OrangeDW]

Only so many 7 inning double headers you can play. This looks bleak.

 

[CuseRunner]

No we are not. 30 man taxi squads this year and entire minor league systems at their disposal. Manfred will not cancel the season with a strike in 2021 looming.
