=Cowtipper post_id=169816 time=1726157432 user_id=166] I say keep it. I don't really what the fear is in posting it. Not being a lawyer, I can't say for certain, but it is to vague to be considered libelous if that is your concern.

It is a bit hyperbolic to say the Red Sox have become Yanquis-like since 2004, it's more that they've continued a stretch of being perennially in the mix for postseason appearances, and constantly refreshing after a blip year or two going back to The Impossible Dream of 1967. Plus they've added three more titles to their ledger in those ensuing 20 years. However, getting the gorilla off the backs of both Chicago teams have not had the same affect on the two Chi-town teams! Cubs have won 4 postseason games since 2016, all in their attempt to repeat season of 2017 (losing a 5 game NLCS), and only making 2 other postseasons since. Yeah they still have been over .500 and in Wild Card hunts, but they haven't exactly been a dominant perennial force in the nearly decade since finally clawing back to and winning the World Series the way say a certain New England team has been. Kind of similar to the Mets over the decades now that I think of it. And then there is the franchise this poll is about. They got back, and won a World Series before their big brothers did, and were back in the postseason in 2008, though losing the ALDS in 4 games. Then they cratered for much of the 2010s before being resurrected towards the end. Followed by creeping into the COVID postseason and finally winning the Central again in 2021 for the first time since 2008, but lost the ALDS in 4 games. They followed that with a .500 season in 2022, and completely cratered to 101 losses last year, and now we have this season!

I imagine they'd like to get to September before having to activate either of them, but I don't think that's looking like a luxury they can afford. Scott did not bring either of them in late last night, what a Dick!

The MFers? Also you didn't check the Mets off Speaking of MFers, the most recent “hated by all of baseball, except their own fanbase” franchise, Astros might have enough by now?

Checking out the Mets vs the Durham Bulls (where’s Nuke & Crash!?) on Wednesday Aug 21st.

I'm getting trolling Jet fans out of my system with wondering where back in Jan of ‘69 Joe Willie walked off this plot of land where the stadium is, destining the Jets to decades of failure Different building entirely of course, might go down a rabbit hole of Orange Bowl and “I'm Still Calling It Marlins” Stadium configurations when I get back to my hotel

My flight is at 5, I probably will get the plane's wifi to follow along, hope I can have a celebratory beer after I'm settled somewhere in Miami! Not in the mood to help stop a losing streak in the building tomorrow afternoon!

Welp, that isn't promising

Yeah the poem is off base (no bad baserunning miscue pun intended). I can think of several Mets pre-1991 and a few more than since Vince Coleman's stint came to an end, especially since that specific post by the OP that could match him… OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH! Must have been a reference to the firecracker incident that expedited his departure!

Should be there a week from Monday for the start of the Independence Day Week festivities in the Capital. No giveaways that day though 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean, that's a 20 minute pod. I have to sit through 20 minutes of that to find like a six seconds remark? The reference was Connor wearing a cap in a screen capture

Well to be fair, Enterprise was the last, and shortest run 2001-2005), of the second wave of Star Trek TV series that went for nearly 20 years (starting with Next Generation's debut in 1987). The next time the Star Trek franchise rolled out a brand new TV show would be Discovery in 2017. It (which wrapped this year after 5 seasons) and successive series (Strange New Worlds, Picard, and Lower Decks) can be found more so on Paramount's streaming platform, Paramount+
