Will Kuechel and Kimbrel play baseball this year?

[Chewbaccer]

Braves fan, eh?


Yeah....I'd hate the Yankees too.

Yep and I’m too young to remember 95. Stressful team to pull for, but I’m not lazy enough to be a front running fan

 

[nynasty]

Sure I have. Lived there, worked there. A large portion of the fanbase expects to win, and acts like children when they don't.

I remember once when Chuck Knoblauch tried to argue a call with the umpire during a live ball during the ALCS. Cleveland won on the ensuing run, and there were calls in NY for his head. He apologized multiple times, to no avail. It was Game 2.

Yup, that's life in the NY media fishbowl.

But that's not what your original post was about-you said Yankee fans become Met fans when the Mets are doing better, and vice versa.

And I'm here to tell you that's complete bullshit.

How 'bout the '99 beatdown?

Were you out of diapers yet?

I was 8, but Chipper was a left fielder and Smoltz was a closer when I really started watching

Oh man. You missed some great times.

At the beginning of the 90s, everyone was calling the Braves the "team of the decade"

No one was saying that by the time the decade ended.

Yep, and your front running ass became a fan sometime around 96

So bitter.

I can almost taste your tears.

Yeah, I witnessed that, too. Football season often only began when the Yankees were out of playoff contention.

I’m not bitter, but I’ll call a spade a spade. Seemed to have struck a nerve

No nerve to strike my man.

I've been watching baseball (Yankee baseball) for 3 times your life-span. Your opinion of my fan-hood is really of no importance.

Who the hell is talking about football?

Sheesh.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

They allow their closer to have neck tats that border on face tats, but no beard because they wanna stay classy. This is why people hate the Yankees

 

[nynasty]

Hu!

You're supposed to be a Yankee fan now.

Get with the program!

Is it Septober already???

 

[Pure Steel]

June is the new Septober......

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

June is the new Septober......

Huh...

Irregardless, baseball = Dead 2 Me

I guess I'm not switching teams this year like I always do.....

I didn't bother switching from 2013 to 2016...saved all kinds of time

You’re 84 years old?

Wait, you’ve been watching 3 times my lifetime, so you’re at the very least pushing 90?

And here we have another example of wisdom and age not being correlated

Also, I don't think age necessarily makes someone smarter about baseball. Aren't most teams hiring Ivy League guys in their 30s to run baseball operations these days?
