I wish endless misery on the teams that cost us glory this decade like the Rangers and Tigers.

Watching the Tigers lose the WS again after the Jeter injury gifted them that series was such a highlight.

Soon, Verlander, Price, Porcello, Scherzer, and Sanchez will all have rings.


Gotta get one for Jeremy Bonderman


Bondo wasn't on the 2014 roster, was he?

End of baseball depression setting in.

yep this now

i was glad to have a break from baseball because of the utter depression of what happened

but now reality is settling in.

i miss it. this is going to be a long and brutal offseason, especially for my club that badly needs to spend (smartly) but base payroll is going to start so high next year it's not something they're gonna do

Now just 6 franchises left that have never won it all

Mariners
Rays
Padres
Rockies
Rangers
Brewers

Who will be next?


extending this out to "won in our lifetimes" since that's really more relevant. Like if you're the Indians and haven't won since the 40s, or last won in the 80s you may as well have never won since we never experienced it. I'm gonna consider our lifetime as won in the 90s or later pretty much.

So that adds:

Indians (1948)
Pirates (1979)
Orioles (1983)
Tigers (1984)
Mets (1986)
Dodgers (1988)
A's (1989)
Reds (1990... 30 years next year)

As much as Id love to see the Brewers win one, since I was born about 5 months after the only time they made it to a World Series, its not happening anytime soon. They have too many holes to fill in pitching alone, and they cant outbid the teams who will spend whatever they need to in order to win. Unless their terrible farm system suddenly starts shitting gold, they wont get one.

Strasburg opts out.

Will likely sign a new deal in Washington but, the Yankees should come way over the top money wise on it to try and turn his head.

Sign Cole and Strasburg and we start a dynasty tbh

Pete alonso baby o ya this is all we got to celebrate (and degrom cy young again???). Ridic that it wasn't unanimous but I guess west coast writers want article clicks (he had an explaining himself dont hate me mets fans article ready to go within minutes of the reveal)

Reported only the red sox, yankees, and cubs will be over the luxury tax this year which is bad news for the Mets cuz they start very high and dont have.ich room to add without going over it in a year where they really need someone like Rendon and/or Cole... and a bunch of depth. They got so lucky with injuries last year and won 86 games. They are probably gonna replace wheeler with someone worse and have more injuries so unless they make strong moves that number is going down

I thought a couple more would vote for Soroka. Alonso deserved it but it's not like Soroka was just some bum. He had a fantastic rookie season as well.

Also apparently it looks like the Astros were stealing signs with a camera in center field in 2017. They'd then bang on a trash can in the dugout when an offspeed pitch was incoming. Has really not been looking good for the Astros this last month.

Very unsurprisingly, as Yankee fans were calling this out all series. Especially frustrating that this bullshit is affecting players' careers due to their ALCS performance.

I mean, if I had a vote, I would probably have voted for Soroka. He will finish 6th at worst in the Cy Young race as a 21 year old and in this new era of a juiced ball, having the second-lowest HR rate among qualified pitchers in all of baseball is insane.

How did they manage to do that in Game 7 on the road against Yu Darvish?

And with that amazing home field advantage, how did they go 0-4 at home and 3-0 on the road against the Nats?

The funny part about all of this is that this is the most egregious systematic cheating in the mlb that I can remember, yet it's literally one-quarter as bad as what the Pats were caught doing. How that team didn't get nuked is beyond me.
