@Arkselta Wilds was so good. I never got the hate. Great battle pass and fun in-season gameplay mechanics.

@PawtucketSox AI generating a player holding a World Series trophy is biblical levels of loserdom

@zo_demalia Damn, I think you’ve got your choice

[Ari ⚾️ @ari_zanger]

@zo_demalia Good god, Zo, if you care about yourself at all DO NOT become a Spurs fan

OTD in Celtics history: Banners 17 and 18 🏆🏆

6/17/2008: Celtics clinch NBA Finals over Lakers
6/17/2024: Celtics clinch NBA Finals over Mavericks

16 years apart, the Celtics secured championships No. 17 and No. 18 — making them the NBA's winningest franchise ☘️

@PWHL_Report The good will the league has lost by fucking up this expansion process so badly is generational

@BenCampb_ @CaniacBombs This last line is huge. Everyone hyping Montgomery after like 5 games. How did Campbell look for the first month of last year? We won’t really know who’s better for a while. And at the end of the day, you’ve gotta judge trades on what you knew when they happened

[Ari ⚾️ @ari_zanger]

@CaniacBombs That’s looking in hindsight though. We would have crucified Craig for giving up Mayer, and Monty basically hadn’t played pro ball, while Campbell had destroyed every single level
There is PLENTY to be upset about. Don’t wast your time getting mad over a trade where we got our Ace

@Razorfin_Hunter @CaniacBombs @zoidbergererer My mantra this summer has tuned into “don’t manufacture anger over things we don’t need to. There’s plenty to actually be super about.”
You make that crochet trade 100 out of 100 times because at the end of the day he will have by a wide margin the best career of any of them

[Ari ⚾️ @ari_zanger]

@CaniacBombs @zoidbergererer If Chase Meidroth becomes a 3-4 win player that’s like the 150th percentile outcome LOL.
Kyle Teel is great but is so far from one of the best offensive catchers in baseball. we would have CRUCIFIED Bresbot for trading Marcello. And his development isn’t over, he’s not a bust yet

@Tatumburneracct @CDRosario_ @FasterPP I’d argue other fanbases out there are MORE like that than us. 53 years since they won a chip and you think they care more about some hardware for one player than a title for the team?? Get fucking real.

Stan culture is waaaaay more recent to sports than fanship

[Ari ⚾️ @ari_zanger]

@Tatumburneracct @CDRosario_ @FasterPP lol sure. I’ve watched the Celtics since I was a kid, so yeah, I care more about the team than a member of it. I LOVE, JT and everything he’s done for us, but yeah the team comes first. There was a Celtics before him and there will be a Celtics after him

[Ari ⚾️ @ari_zanger]

@PiocheX10 100% but the team comes first. “Ridiculous fanbase” for caring more about the team getting a title than a franchise player winning an award?? Just backward priorities imo. I would have loved JT to get it, I also love the narrative of JB getting it given that’s how we got there

[Ari ⚾️ @ari_zanger]

@Tatumburneracct @CDRosario_ @FasterPP I promise u there are a lot more people like me who care about the team winning than a specific player. There are 0% of Knick fans who would prefer the team lose than Brunson not win fmvp. I’ve got a deep love and attachment to Tatum, but it’s bc he’s A PART of the C’s
