Don't Believe the Hype
This team is playing like those nightmares you have when you try to do anything physical and it feels like you're on a planet with 10x the gravity.

Obviously, this is worse because it's the WS, but this is giving me '22 and '12 ALCS vibes. Just like every player got lobotomized and doesn't remember how to play nor operate simple motor skills.

I was still bummed and frustrated, but thank goodness I'm a grown ass man with (somewhat) of a life and career. Because if this is all I had - like when I was a kid rooting in '95 against the Mariners - I'd be devastated.

At this point, I have zero expectations, but, IDEALLY, let's grab these last two in the BX and take it back to Hollywood. I don't root for injuries, but if Shohei is banged up and Freeman doesn't hit another HR and our bats come alive and we learn how to run the bases ...yeah, never mind. :smh:

They both do exactly what Jerry/Hal want. Be likable guys with the fans who put up numbers in the regular season to keep the stadiums full and sell merch. As long as Judge and Dak do that failing every year in the playoffs is like whatever to them.

At least you're not a Jets fan though. :to:

That shyt is a fukking disaster. :mjlol:

It’s easier when the team is that bad. No reason to tune in and get angry. I’m 35 and I’ve seen my hockey team reach the conference finals twice. They haven’t won the division since before I was born so it’s easy to disengage. Going out ugly like this every October is so much worse. Every postseason feels like the 2011 afc title game levels of self inflicted mistakes. Last year the moment we heard judge got hurt I turned my alerts off and had no trouble or stress about it. That shyt is easy. Makes you feel like you’ve wasted all that time in the same way a show having a terrible finale makes you wish you never started in the first place (here’s looking at you game of thrones and the walking dead :pacspit: )



It’s one thing to see your team leave it all out there but run into a buzz saw or just run out of gas. It’s another thing entirely to watch them fold every time a contender punches them in the mouth while they let glaring issues sink them every year and then tell us were unreasonable for expecting a good effort and then when they finally have a shot the team captain has statistically the most unclutch postseason ever.

I hate how the sports world is all about being friends and everyone getting along and their feelings. I miss the days when teams truly looked at everyone else as their enemy and did it whatever it took to win including sitting struggling players and not giving a fukk about their feelings.
