DoctorWhom Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Remember when the Yankees had a 15 game lead in the division and were a near unanimous lock to win it? .....Now that's down to a 4 game lead over the Rays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it is injuries or they peaked too early. But dang they have really stunk it up since I flew to the Caribbean in August.

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The Mariners have the second-best record in MLB since June 19 (43-19), and only gained 3.5 games on the Astros in that time. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 No Mariners fan should count on a wild card until the team is playing in October. I've been around this block before.

Germanshepherd Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think this Yankee team is gonna finish with about the record I thought they’d have at the start of the year, they just took a really weird path to get there. Just gotta make the playoffs now and hope you find whatever that first half team had stashed away somewhere.

Puh-lease, get over it. The Red Sox cheated to need I remind you (yet no one gave a sh!t). And we've proven we can win without it, just see last year (minus the World Series). 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball‘s widespread cheating era was better than the modern Excelball, anyway. Bring back PEDs, ban data modeling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Astros take it a step further? Yes. However, the "we can with without, just look at the year we didnt win the World Series" is an odd take. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you guys are overreacting. It's not like we hit home runs on every pitch just because we knew what was coming. And oh yeah, the Steelers cheated in Super Bowl 40, and yet I see no one put an asterisk on that title. Same with the Patriots with Deflategate, but no one has an asterisk next to their ring either. Are people putting asterisks on the 1919 White Sox world series appearance or the Red 1919 World Series win? Of course not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Patriots with Deflategate, but no one has an asterisk next to their ring either. I'm not sure anyone here is overreacting. It seems that you're the only one bothered about it. There's no asterisk for 2017, either. This isn't the NCAA, they aren't going to take a World Series away. Astros players on that team will continue to pay the public price for what happened, and that's that. Guys like Beltran, Cora, and probably unfairly Hinch will always have that blemish. Do I even actually care that the Astros stole signs in 2017? Not one iota. However.... The outcome of a play doesn't correlate to the seriousness of the level of cheating - in any sport. Just because there wasn't a home run or RBI on every pitch does not make it a lesser infraction. Baseball is an incredibly hard sport, even when you know what's coming you still aren't going to square up on it more often than not. It's still a very clear advantage, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
