Man the Yankees really are just one massive disappointment. You’d think this much embarrassment and mocking from opponents would be enough to make big changes but nah let’s just win 90 games next year then get embarrassed again. Whose turn is it? Orioles wanna step up to the plate?

Wanna trade franchises?

u/zygodactyl86 Cincinnati Reds 6d ago

I’d trade you in a heartbeat

Be a reds fan… I’ll take playoffs every year please.

u/damnrightslimanus New York Yankees 6d ago

I hear you, I get it. But the Yankees spend top tier money every year (I understand you’d like the reds to do that too) just to get EMBARRASSED every year by a new team. The AL has taken turns ending the Yankees season to the point where the Yankees are the joke of the playoffs

u/Pndrizzy Seattle Mariners 6d ago

It's not your money. The team you are watching has a chance every year. That's the exciting part. You'd really rather they cut payroll and win 68 games?

Mariners fan checking in 🫡

too busy mourning the firing of the Orioles Bird...

This is privilege right here folks. There are plenty of baseball fans that would die to have a team that consistently gets to the playoffs and occasionally is a championship contender. Only problem is that the Yankees are one of the most hated sports franchise in all US sports (for good reason) and some fans can't take the smoke.

I wouldn’t die, but it would be nice.

u/damnrightslimanus New York Yankees 6d ago

Yankees deserve all the smoke and mockery they get from other players. I don’t care what fans of other teams have to say. The Yankees are disappointing, that’s objectively true

u/bluetriumphantcloud 6d ago

So are their fans

u/ArmyofThalia Chicago Cubs 6d ago

Yankees should switch spots with the Mariners for 50 years and see what happens

Now where did I put my monkey's paw

u/nyornowhere914 6d ago

I mean sure, but it makes sense that Yankees fans expect more based off of Yankees history. Expectations change depending on past success.

u/dwpea66 Los Angeles Dodgers 6d ago

They also tend to humiliate their way out of the postseason. Errors galore, fans grabbing balls, etc.

u/BboySparrow Los Angeles Dodgers 6d ago

in all of US sports? can I get some lore on that on what makes them one of the most hated sports franchises

u/AzureRaven2 Baltimore Orioles 6d ago

I'll be damned if the O's ever do something in my lifetime lol

u/Outside-College-2797 New York Yankees 6d ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Orioles finished in second place next year. They weren’t that bad of a club this year and if the Yankees run it back in 27, I won’t be invested much.

u/WerhmatsWormhat Baltimore Orioles 6d ago

Depends if we improve the team. We’re not crazy far off, but the current team is very flawed. We need 2 solid OF, a starter (2 if we let Rogers walk), and bullpen help at a minimum.

1

u/Outside-College-2797 New York Yankees 6d ago

Yeah I don’t know about starters. Cash is probably waiting on Clark to return healthy. If anything I would be in on Tarik Skubal and trade some players to improve the holes on the team. I haven’t seen whose available in free agency yet so that’s an avenue as well.

Man the Yankees really are just one massive disappointment.

Oh you poor thing. It must be really difficult not having had a losing season since 1992.

-1

u/beachmedic23 New York Yankees 6d ago

Who cares? No one gets a trophy for being above .500. that's the baseline expectation for a professional franchise.

1

u/WerhmatsWormhat Baltimore Orioles 6d ago

I wouldn’t hold your breath on the O’s doing anything useful.

u/Internal-Plantain-56 New York Yankees 6d ago

Run it back next year! Maybe it'll get a different result!

1

u/HicDomusDei Baltimore Orioles 6d ago

Orioles got BIG things in store next season. We've already fired the Oriole Bird mascot and Mr. Splash. As you can see we are deeply committed to winning and are making the tough but necessary decisions.

1

u/CacahuatesSalado 6d ago

As a Braves fan. You need to be quiet. Back in the day we would always make it to the playoffs and then lose in such disappointing fashion.

u/Yellowman_95 New York Yankees 3d ago

The people in charge aren’t in the trenches here, they just laugh at us while they’re on their way to the bank.

Want to make change? Stop giving them money. Haven’t been to a game since 2024

u/spazz720 New York Yankees 6d ago

Dude what are you six years old?

“Oh no they are mocking us?!??!?”

Christ dude…the better team won. Grow up and realize that it’s just a fucking game.

1

u/damnrightslimanus New York Yankees 6d ago

You alright pal? I’m aware the better team won that was painfully obvious. Yanks haven’t been the better team in 17 years that’s my issue. I guess you like getting embarrassed every year by AL rivals, probably have a humiliation kink

-3

u/spazz720 New York Yankees 6d ago

Or I see it as a game and have a life to live without whining on the internet.

u/damnrightslimanus New York Yankees 6d ago

Whining on the internet about me whining on the internet is better, you’re right

u/AmalatheaClassic New York Yankees 6d ago

Yeah man I say it every year fire Cashman but they don't listen to us.

u/Separate_Battle_3581 6d ago

Embarrassed? I'm not embarrassed, we go to the post season every year. We need to drop this demented idea of "world series or bust." Our franchise PR strategy is designed to leave its fan base feeling like angry losers every year.
