@scottcoleman55 There is a lot of stupid in this world. Very few things are as stupid as professional sport blackout rules. I’m 7 hours from NYC. Yankees, Mets, Pirates and Guardians blacked out here. Don’t get me started on missing NBA playoff games because they’re blacked out.
@JCLayfield I’ll add to this. Have any of you seen an average American 70+ year old man lately. Meaning one that didn’t wrestle and do what he loves for 30+ years to entertain us. The average 76 year old man in the US is dead. Flair looks great comparatively. So do most of these guys.
@fuzzyfromyt Don’t forget the Guardians. Signed Santana and traded away 2 starters to dump salary. Also signed Bieber who has no timetable for return. They will likely have a lower payroll this season. All about saving $. FO doesn’t get enough credit for dealing with an awful owner.
Sure it was a fun year. Sure it was fun to make it this far and have a competitive series with the Yankees. But this is our ceiling with the Dolan’s. Won’t ever get better.
This team, like many before it, had obvious issues. Needed another starter. Needed another big bat. Needed anyone with experience on the bench. And we got 2 scrap heap pitchers and Thomas at the deadline.
