But concerning to the point where you're calling for the heads of the GM and manager who put together the team who were capable of chasing the single season win record through July? Have a little optimism. We are calling for them to be fired because they have put the same team with the same issues out for years and years now, when it’s obviously not working. Either you are trolling or are just choosing to ignore the points people are explaining to you. At least you dropped the stupid ‘Mets jealousy’ thing.

It doesn't seem wild to me to say that the Yankees' play is particularly frustrating in light of the expectation that they should be better. After all, the Dodgers have given us an example of just how good an equivalently-resourced team can be. Still might hold off on the "lovely franchises that never win anything" bit.

There’s certainly something to be said for failed expectations or getting over the hump. But the way you frame it can once again show that it’s really just about a sense of superiority over everyone else. That’s why some fans are so mad. They’re used to laughing at the other teams and don’t like the feeling of it coming back on them.

Oh yeah the Yankees losing is delightful and I hope to continue enjoying it all the way until the Orioles pass them in the last week of the season. But it's not like the fans are being incoherent or incomprehensible when they're upset.

I don't think baseball today will allow for what the Yankees did in the past where they just won every year cause no one else was even close to being as talented as them. The past 10 years of Dodgers dominance is basically the best you can hope for your team to be and they've won a grand total of 1 World Series. Play offs are a crap shoot, if your team is consistently making it to the DS/CS you're sitting pretty good.

I mean I think great teams will still come along and still do. The Dodgers are having a very strong run. But the way the playoffs have expanded and are managed has definitely made it a lot harder and made things more of a crapshoot. In particular the “throw it all at the wall” approach to managing the pitching staffs makes for some really unpredictable matchups and victories for shorter staffs but it also runs the risk of burning out some potential dynasty arms on one or two playoff runs. But yeah. Discounting that your team keeps getting to the playoffs because they lose a short series is not only an impractical and myopic viewpoint but it feels like a miserable way to follow a team.

I just think advanced analytics means that even the worst teams in the league are competitive day to day. The Yankees stomping on everybody year over year was more an artifact of it's time. Once you reach the play offs every team has a decent shot at winning, one team usually doesn't just roll through easily and as we've seen even if they do it's very difficult to repeat that year over year.

Boone is the first Yankee manager ever to get a 5th year after not winning the World Series in the first 4. They operate like they are trying to win the series every year. That’s my point. And they should have the resources to do that.
