Hi! I have another thread! It's more about me, the woman behind the account!
I'm a lesbian! And a baseball fan! Naturally, part of being a baseball fan involves developing favorite players. Brandon was my favorite player.
But you see, baseball players tend to be very
BREAKING: Per @Joelsherman1 the Mets’ “last-ditch effort” to sign Alonso consisted of a 3-year deal worth around $70M.
Alonso declined in search of more money and opt-outs.
I'm not understanding the logic here. The Mets still only have one corner infielder and they still need another everyday lineup bat. Signing Winker doesn't really fill either of those needs.
They came from Illinois and Ohio, left behind their old teams circa 2014, adapted vaguely 'left' vibes and decided the 'underdog' team owned by a hedge fund billionaire who pleaded guilty to insider trading would be theirs. Tonight is their night.
I'm still thinking about how at like 9:45 on Tuesday night all the women on my timeline stopped joking as the reality of the situation started setting in while men were still making memes and laughing.
Die-hard Yankees fans commit a hell of lot to their team.
162 freakin' games. Committing your 7-10 PM every single night. Crazy playoff ticket prices. Consistent hate from other fanbases.
Idk man. Just a lot. Would like to win one year.
Steve Bartman basically had to go into hiding for reflexively putting his hands up to not get smacked in the face with a baseball but this guy gets a puff piece for fully assaulting a player????????
Meet Austin Capobianco (middle), the fan that interfered with Mookie. I was talking to him at a local bar when a bunch of other fans asked him to take a pic with him and for his autograph. He was a beaut. Story up soon at ESPN: “If it’s in our area, we’re going to ‘D’ up.”
Freddie Freeman (35) is four years older than Kirk Gibson (31) was in 1988. Of all the comparisons between the two, that one might be the most unbelievable.
Ah yes arguing that you should root for the bully as opposed to the underdog. Go to other cities and tell them you live in the richest city in the world and they are beneath you. Nothing could be more Yankee fan than this take.

Using the word "parade" doomed the post/idea. Call it a send-off or final thank you tailgate or something.
But leaving the "parade" post up means you're going to continue to get dragged.
There are three categories of people hating on this tweet:
1) You're a Yankees (or other teams) fan
2) You like the Mets, but don't like us for whatever the reason may be
3) You didn't read the whole thing and think that the parade meant the actual team down the Canyon. Agreed, that would be absolutely ridiculous. Read it again, the "parade" would be... us... in the parking lot... showing the team, many who won't be around next year... our appreciation...
I love a lot of the Mets fans in my life but I am SO excited that the online Mets fans will now have to stop acting like their team is the main character of baseball.
