These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
Idk what's worse. Losing Vea for the season with minutes to go in a game or the fact that Donovan Smith is still our LT?
Vita Vea out for the season with a fractured ankle. Yikes.
This team low-key just wasn't good and I've been saying it all year. It's kind of a surprise they made it this far. The lineup is filled with easy outs, the bullpen is a circus, the rotation is Cole and friends, and the manager is special in the head. It's time for the GM who did nothing about this to go. He hasn't won a f***ing thing without Jeter, Rivera, and co., none of whom he drafted.Re name them to the 98'ers and I'm not even kidding.
@Machinehead Not trying to bag them too hard but you guys need to be getting way more out of Judge and Stanton. This was another really bad let down

In Judge and Stanton's defense, they're just not taking a team all the way. The Yankees don't have "the guy" on offense. It looks like Judge's 50+ homers were an aberration. He's batting second because he's a #2 hitter. That's what he is. His best attributes are walking and defense. He's just a tall Bobby Abreu who had one bonkers year. Stanton is a 5/6 hitter who can run into one. Not a guy you should be relying on.
Who's in the meat of the order? I like Aaron Hicks and Luke Voit, but that's your 3 and 4?? It's just not impressive. They should have been in on Yelich and that's going to haunt us.
To be fair, the Rays don't really have the one superstar either but their approach is night and day. Every at-bat is tough. Meanwhile, the Yankees go up there like "me hit homer oogah boogah" and they don't have the talent to back that up anymore. A-Rod retired, folks. That goes back to the manager.
I'm not saying it needs a complete overhaul, but they need to do some soul-searching like the Lightning did.
I hope you guys beat the Astros.
I did get an A on that paper I was writing during the Finals so maybe you're rightThat might be the most brutally honest postmortem I've ever read. You should start a blog man. You'd be as big as UrinatingTree if you did sports for a living

What's racist about Seminoles? When they were setting up the team's mascot and all in the 70's, they asked for permission from the Seminole Tribe of Florida (which is distinctly different from the Oklahoma tribe) and gained their blessing to not only use the Seminole identity, but they even helped the design Chief Osceola and Renegade. In 2005, the University banned hair dresses from games (the tribe didn't ask them to) out of respect for the tribe. The University does EVERYTHING to make sure the Seminole tribe isn't offended.OK, Native American nicknames in sports have come under increased fire in the wake of George Floyd. One team, Washington in the NFL, has already retired the Redskins name. Another, the Cleveland Indians of MLB, is discussing a name change.
Personally, I think all teams with Native American names should change.
Florida State is one such team (or teams, rather) that should change. A good nickname I have come up with for FSU is Senators, which reflects the fact that the university is located in the capital of Florida, Tallahassee.
Let's see them make the playoffs first baby steps.Rowdies won 4-2 last night, so that's three Tampa Bay teams that have won at least one playoff round.
Your turn, Bucs.
Yes and then next year they redeem themselves, just like the Lightning.So are the Rays gonna blow it tonight?
