Digby Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Baseball is no sillier than performance art, or going skiing, or watching 80 superhero movies per year ... humans have a need for the occasional dip into meaningless entertainment and watching competition is as valid as any other. Doesn't mean it doesn't have big problems but I find the "it's a kids game" argument overly reductive. Plus there needs to be a place where masculine aggression can be contained, instead of like starting wars or violent acts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we start dissecting one form of entertainment, they all become pretty stupid.

BrySmalls Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I am glad the media is hyping up Aaron Judge's homerun chase towards the end of the season. Not sure when the next time we will see anyone hit more than 60 homeruns in a season. I hope the media hypes of that future player as well regardless of which team they're on. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 It's happened! Mariners walk off home run ends a 21 year wait! Gotta feel happy for Seattle. 4 1 2 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhom Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 So glad Seattle finally broke through! I was Far more invested in this the than anything about the Yankees or Aaron Judge. Hopefully the Mariners can get some nice revenge on the Yankees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Sacramento Kings now have the longest playoff drought in the big 4 leagues. Last made the playoffs in 2006 2 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I was there and it was awesome. It felt like Cal Raleigh's ball was in the air for an hour. Such a cool moment, especially for the long-time baseball fans of Seattle who have been begging for a winner. The Ms look legit, but even if they flame out of the playoffs, they'll have this moment. Really cool to be in the building for it. 11 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...
Kooky01 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 A little late, but congratulations to the Mariners, @DG_ThenNowForever and @Seadragon76 on making it to the dance for the first time in 21 years from your division rivals who were in the NL last time it happened. Y'all definitely deserve this moment, especially how you clinched it. See ya in the ALDS (hopefully). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last made the playoffs in 2006 Sorriest franchise in pro sports. They deserve this title. Stoked for the M’s. I really hope they can beat the traffic guards and prevent us from having to see that particular mess go any further in the playoffs.

GDAWG Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I actually hope the Mariners make it to the World Series as it would be really neat to have the MLB be the first of the major leagues to have every single one of their teams make it to the championship (World Series).

DoctorWhom Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Mariners are pretty good, but realistically I can't see them making it past the ALCS if they have to play the Yankees or Astros. Of course as I said, I'd love to see them get some 21 year old revenge against the Yankees for ruining their record breaking season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If the Yankees miss the WS, I'd rather the M's make it than any other AL team on the field personally lol Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 O's clinch a winning season, win the series in The Bronx, and Judge doesn't get #62! First team since 1899 to have a winning season after losing 110 games the last season. Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 ^ Heard that before; let's not get our hopes up. This was a good season for Baltimore, but history hasn't been very kind to them, even after 2014. If I was an O's fan, I would just relish in the fact that they were literally in the postseason hunt at some point (and finished with a winning record). Still, I'd like to see what next year can bring for them. There is reason for optimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, the two longest playoff droughts in each league snapped with Seattle and Philly. Well deserved. Hope my Astros win again (not just to piss off everyone else here). That being said, I wish all 12 teams good luck. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
