No. Do not have this attitude. This is what I fear most. An entire generation of young Yankee fans happy that the team had a 100+ win season or almost made a run of it. Yankee fans should always see every season that doesn't end in a championship as an utter failure. It is what separates us from the lowly fanbases in all of the major sports.

Not a retired number legend, but a man who was honored this entire year by the Yankees. And I mean that I'm related, my dad was cousins with him.

When Osuna gave up that HR everyone was so defeated. I was 100% sure we were losing. And then when Tuve hit that blast, from my angle it just looked so high I was assuming it was just a routine pop-up to center. When it bounced off the sign it like, took me a couple seconds to truly comprehend and believe what I just saw and start celebrating. The Yankees probably outplayed us overall in this series and maybe deserved to win. But they are also the ONE team in all of sports that I cannot even remotely comprehend feeling sorry for.

And Doug Fister during the three/four year window when he was really good. Tigers have to be up there for biggest baseball disappointments since 2000 because that is an absolute killer lineup. Problem is that MLB playoffs is basically a crapshoot thanks to small sample sizes. Like Joaquin Benoit was an awesome reliever and then of course he gives up a grand slam to Big Papi. Or they're red hot and then they hit the 85 win Cardinals in the World Series and they can't hit a lick. I mean, during their run they knocked the Yankees out every time they faced them. In fact, I believe they beat the Yankees and Athletics every time and lost to every other team they faced. 2006: Beat Yankees, beat Athletics, lost to Cardinals 2011: Beat Yankees, lost to Rangers 2012: Beat Athletics, Beat Yankees, lost to Giants 2013: Beat Athletics, lost to Red Sox 2014: Lost to Orioles --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. <cite>TheRock1525 posted [p:929160665] in MLB and Ba...

red13n 10/24/19 3:43:11 AM #246:	The thing is, they are a team that needed to ride their starting pitchers hard more than anything. I think if anything the long layoff was of benefit to them. Especially since the Astros are in a near similar position of having to ride their starters hard but they had a lot of stressful innings in the ALCS. As compared to the Nats where their pitchers basically were just tossing innings to keep up arm strength in a comfortable NLCS. Greinke doesn't have the best playoff history or great recent results. The Astros should be concerned. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."
