I bought a couple of Yankees fans a DiMagio jersey as a sincere parting gift… 😏

The last time anyone liked the Dodgers, lol.

We actually appreciate that, thank you.

Yankees has same number of October wins as Red Sox

u/JinFuu Houston Astros 7d ago edited 7d ago

Hey! They also got embarrassed in the 20232 ALCS!

u/BigBallsMcGirk Texas Rangers 7d ago

ALDS you mean?

I certainly remember the 23 ALCS. 😘

u/JinFuu Houston Astros 7d ago

2022, I was a dummy and just went back one year instead of remembering they didn't make it at all in 2023.

I'm all for dunking of the Yankees as much as the next guy, but idk why this would be called an embarrassing loss. The Rays are a really, really good team. People discount them because they don't have the big names and are small market but they're like the 3rd or 4th best team in the MLB (at worst).

u/fuilin 7d ago

Got no hit through 8 innings, most embarassing base running of the season let alone play offs, error filled 2nd game to throw it away, all time bad line up decisions, never at any point leading in runs.

u/livsjollyranchers Boston Red Sox 6d ago

They were the best AL/AL East team pretty much all season but the Yanks and BoSox got all the coverage. What else is new?

u/Organic-Baker-4156 Pittsburgh Pirates 7d ago

A few post season games are not indictive of a team's ability. Winning enough during the regular season to make the past season is.

u/Beneficial-Class-314 New York Yankees 6d ago

At least we embarrassed another team before going out 😉

u/Nipple_Pirate New York Yankees 7d ago

Still had the pleasure of smacking Boston before facing a real playoff team

1

u/RebelSGT New York Yankees 6d ago

Boston’s loss was embarrassing. 18-2 in two games.

u/IAmGrum Toronto Blue Jays 6d ago

The last four times they've made the playoffs, they've been eliminated from those playoffs in home game. They are traumatizing their own fans when they make the playoffs at this point.
