I am a Yankees fan.
Phillies have a team of destiny thing going on
I sure hope so.
For Juno and me it's not just villains. From the second the Astros came to the AL, even when they were tanking, they made our lives miserable. The shittiest part is Astros fans being still so insecure that they need to troll M's fans on social media every time the Astros do anything, even though Houston wins all the time and Seattle rarely does. It's fucking weird.
Ahh, see the mistake you made was engaging in social media
The Astros fanbase has this weird complex about themselves where they think they're the Yankees and have always been a winning franchise (many of the fans aren't probably very aware of how about 10 years ago they had 3 consecutive seasons of 100 losses because they only started following the team closely after they got good in the middle of last decade), yet they seem to believe everyone thinks they're a perpetually failing franchise and after every win are desperate to scream about how they've proven the haters wrong.
Hell, after the cheating scandal broke, that was the first track that the players took when talking go the media about it, they were moaning about how everyone thinks they only won because of the trash can shit and they're taking this as motivation to set the record straight.
Would love to see how they'd react to a stretch of, say, 5 seasons without a playoff appearance, they'd tear themselves to pieces.

Seems fun to be a Mets fan these days

Don't know if any of you watched the World Baseball Classic this year, but it was incredible. Blowouts, comebacks, nailbiters, home run grabs, a combined perfect game, and Shohei Ohtani just struck out Mike Trout in the 9th inning of the final to lead Japan over USA 3-2. The regular season is honestly going to be a letdown now.
What most interests me about the season is what effect the new rules have on the game.

The pitch clock is way more effective than even I thought it would be. The Blue Jays and Royals just finished a 2 hour 38 minute game where 14 totals runs scored off 20 total hits. Granted, they didn't play the bottom of the ninth, but I gotta think a game like that would have been 20-45 minutes longer last year. It's awesome.
And the Royals won a game, proving, all evidence to the contrary, that they are a Major League club.

I mean we've got a minor league team in our city and we get lots of tickets due to promotions with the grocery store, so we were pretty confident here that the pitch clock would be a good change for MLB since it's picked up the pace of the minor league games compared to how it was when we went to games when I was a kid (my mother always joked she was terrible luck because the games we attended always went on forever, but I think that's just the nature of baseball, or rather was)
