3-1. We felt it. Didn’t break. 4 more. The City. The Love. Last time the Dodgers & Lakers won it all in the same year was 88. 32 years ago. 8+24 = Kobe’s numbers equal ? 32.

The last time TOMPA BAY lost a World Series? 2008, 12 years ago. Tom Brady's number? 12.

RIP Tampa Bay

The shittiness that qualifies Atlanta well above the rest is the fact that the teams convince and trick us into thinking they are good every time and then find the most gut wrenching ways to lose year in and year out.

Detriot fans know that their teams are shit and never get their hopes up (at least lately). Us stupid Atlanta fans get our hopes up every year and let our hearts get ripped out over and over again like the masochists that we are.

LeBron is the GOAT for even giving Cleveland an argument here. Atlanta is not that miserable of a sports town, it's just what @GTfan27 said. The teams (including UGA) are typically always good (minus the Hawks for the most part), they just choke like nobody else when it actually matters.

Atlanta and Minneapolis are in the same vein. The others just suck. Vikings, Twins and Wild are all consistently decent to good but their playoff ineptitude is unmatched and only Atlanta comes close.

9 players with connections to Seattle, the LONE team yet to appear in the chip.

TB -
Mike Zunino
Zunino was the third overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft by the Mariners. He came up through the Mariners system as one of the highest-rated prospects in all of the MLB but never turned into that franchise catcher that the Mariners thought they had drafted. He finished his Mariners career with 95 HR over 587 games as well as a .207 batting average, .682 OPS, and a 7.1 WAR.
The Mariners traded Zunino to the Rays in 2019 and since his debut in Tampa Bay, he has continued his disappointing performance. Zunino has a .556 OPS over his two years with the Rays but he has had an excellent 2020 playoffs, with a .771 OPS and 4 home runs in 13 games.
Blake Snell
Snell grew up a Mariners fan in the Seattle suburb of Shoreline, WA, and was committed to the University of Washington. However, he chose to go pro as he was drafted in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the Rays.
Ryan Yarbrough
Yarbrough was drafted by the Mariners in the fourth round of the 2014 MLB Draft but never appeared in the majors for Seattle. He was a part of one of the multiple Mallex Smith Trades that the Mariners made, sending the two of them and another minor leaguer to the Rays for Drew Smyly.

Ji Man Choi
Choi was signed by the Mariners in 2010 and was a part of their minor league system for five years before he was DFA’d. He has traveled all over the MLB and has finally found a spot as the everyday first baseman for the Rays and has become one of the more likable players in baseball in the process.

Yandy Diaz
Diaz’s connection to the Mariners comes from his participation in a three-team trade that sent 2 All-stars on the move. He was traded from Cleveland to Tampa Bay in the trade that also sent Edwin Encarnacion to Seattle and Carlos Santana from Seattle (where he never appeared in a game) to Cleveland.


LAD -
Blake Treinen
Treinen was a part of a three-team deal in 2013 that sent Michael Morse to Seattle, Treinen, and A.J. Cole to the Nationals, and John Jaso from the Mariners to the Athletics.

Corey Seager
Corey is of course the brother of Seattle Mariner Kyle Seager. Corey’s mainstream stardom has inspired one of the better nicknames in baseball for Kyle: Corey’s brother.

Kike Hernandez
Hernandez’s first hit in the big leagues came against the Mariners when he was a member of the Houston Astros in 2014, and the day after he recorded his first hit, he recorded his first home run against the Mariners. He also gave us this magical meme (https://t.co/V7JxOAUORP) this season when Kyle Lewis made another amazing catch up against the wall in L.A.

Chris Taylor
Chris Taylor was the Mariners’ 5th round pick in the 2012 draft. He only spent 2 years and change in Seattle where he played 86 games from 2014 to 2016. In his limited playing time, he had 256 plate appearances and hit .240 with only 12 XBH. He did not hit a single home run in Seattle and finished his Mariner career with a .593 OPS.
He was then traded to the Dodgers for Zach Lee, who never made it to the bigs with the Mariners, and boy was it one of the worst trades of Jerry Dipoto’s tenure. Taylor burst onto the scene in 2017 when he played in 140 games, had an .850 OPS, and won NLCS MVP. Since then he has established himself as an everyday starter filling in all over the outfield and second base.
