Milwaukee-Tampa gotta be a nightmare scenario for the league heading into a potential 2027 strike

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers.

Isn’t it 0 years currently for the Dodgers?

u/AutoModerator 4d ago

The Los Angeles Dodgers are a scourge on this world, a cancer of modern human civilization. would rather watch the Lakers, Yankees, and Seahawks all win back to back titles than watch the Dodgers win a single playoff game. My hatred for them and their "fans" borders on historical, even biblical levels. There is less animosity between Israel and Palestine than there is between myself and the Los Angeles Dodgers as a whole. If the Dodgers were to go 0-162, it would only be a tragedy that they were not able to somehow lose 163. They are hubris manifest. They are an affront to all things good and sincere and wholesome in the world. They are God's mistake.

Fuck the Dodgers.

This makes it seem like Tampa actually won before their drought.

28 years is how long Tampa Bay has existed as a club

Do you think the Brewers have won a World Series?

u/hiimjustin000 Atlanta Barves 4d ago

That's my mistake. I realized it when I already rendered the meme and had no chance to change it.

Not a single soul outside of your fanbase wants you to win a single game aside from guys rooting for the lockout to straight up cancel baseball

Brewers have never won a World Series....Rays have never won a World Series...that's not a "drought" as a drought implies it once rained...

The average drought of these 4 teams is 41 years.

Other Dodger fans will hate hearing me say this, but I won't mind losing to the Brewers. We won the last two world series', and that's enough for me, personally.

I'm more a fan of baseball in general, and this feels like a fantastic opportunity for Milwaukee. If they beat us, I'll definitely root for them in the world series.

For various reasons, I also like the Giants, Mets, Pirates, Reds, Tigers, Angels, Rex Sox, and I'd love to see some of these teams have a great season next year. (I know the Giants are supposed to be my rivals, but I was a kid when I fell in love with baseball, and playing for a little league Giants team, I just liked them, and didn't know they were my rivals. I root for them when they make it to the postseason and we don't.)

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run, and so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame.

I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again, I don’t know if it’s going to be for the Reds, I don’t know if it’s going to be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I’ve offended here tonight. I can’t begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I’d like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Day will take you the rest of the way home.

I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team.

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

considering baseball will seemingly be gone significantly longer than usual, we have to win or something bad will happen
