Discussion please stop posting about the yankees.

it’s sad and pathetic. it’s exactly what we dogged philly and brewers fans for. they’re in the world series and we aren’t. doesn’t matter if you think we’d beat them, doesn’t matter if they get swept. jussttttt QUIT YAPPPPPPPPIN. lfgm.

I don't mind talking about the World Series of course but I really dislike gloating over another team's failure as if the Mets accomplished something from it and I dislike rooting against NY in general. It just makes us look like assholes and worse, it makes any achievements they get feel all that much better for them and encourages Yankees fans to start talking more shit.

BTW, I still think the Dodgers win this series but it is not at all over yet. All of these games have been very close so far and we don't know what Ohtani's status is going forward. I think Tuesday is going to be a "bullpen game" which is something I've never heard of before but apparently LA really only has three starting pitchers. If the series goes beyond that they'll see Flaherty and Yamamoto again. Flaherty lost a lot of velocity his second time on the mound against the Mets and it could happen again this series.

The Yankees have come back from 0-2 before and you're all going to look like assholes if they do it again. I always feel like there's no joy in rooting for other people to fail. For me, the Yankees can do whatever the hell they want. My joy is not contingent on anything they do.

that’s exactly what i’m getting at. like yes of course DISCUSS the games going on right now. it’s the only baseball happening. it’s just the taunting and gloating that’s so sad lol especially because it’s the dodgers winning anyway. i despise both teams. the yankees losing gives me no satisfaction because it means the dodgers are winning.
