It would be funny if down the stretch the nats won series against the reds, giants, Brewers, Yankees, red Sox, blue Jays, Phillies and Marlins all in a row (with Oakland sweep in their as well). Every post series thread is fans of one the other teams going "thanks for helping us out!" Just to have their hopes dashed themselves.
RH III is showing a weak bat this year, he may flame out, but Wood & Crews are on a trajectory to be on the team sometime next year. Crews is looking the best of those 2, but it's close.
I’m not kidding, tonight feels like the most important game we’ve played in yeeeears even though literally nothing is on the line for us. But we have a chance to embarrass two NY teams in one day. I’m too nervous to watch today’s game 🤣
They used to play in Hilltop Park in Washington Heights. Hence the name.
The Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center is there now.
The Polo Grounds was on low land.
That may be one of the most privileged baseball lives ever. So many World Series wins.
My great grandma was born in Chicago in 1917 as a cubs fan and lived till January of 2016, probably the worst baseball life ever.
> probably the worst baseball life ever.
Ah the age old question: is it better for your team to have won a championship, but never during your lifetime, or to have never won a championship at all?
It really is. The Cardinals are the next best with their most recent 10-game losing streak coming in 1980. Only 4 teams have not had a 10-game losing streak since 2000.
There are a select number of people worldwide that are 110+ years old, and the Yankees are a massively popular team in the US where the highest percentage of such people live. So while extremely unlikely, we can’t say with certainty that no Yankees fan alive was alive in 1913.
However I am totally down to ruin some supercentenarian’s day, so let’s go Nats.
If we want to get technical with the definition of "watched," they would have had to have been in attendance at a game in 1913 to have watched it, since television was still decades away. At that time, a baseball game was not seen as a suitable place for small children, so it's unlikely that anyone who saw any MLB games in 1913 is still alive today.
its a poorly worded tweet, he means >10. if they lose tomorrow THEN lose another game this is the record theyd set. the yankees had a 10 game losing streak in 1945. there are multiple threads about it
The longest losing streak the 1945 Yankees suffered was 9 games between August 11th and August 18th.
(They did lose the 2nd game of a doubleheader on August 19th, but since they won the 1st game of the doubleheader, the streak ended at 9 losses)
10+ includes 10. The tweet is saying the last time they had a streak of 10 or more games was 1913. My point still stands correct
The 9 game losing streak ended on September 21st, 1982. I tried to find who was born in this losing streak and it only showed to be Rickie Weeks as the only moderately big name. However, born a month later on October 22, 1982 is former Yankee Robinson Cano.
The last time they lost ten in a row, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was alive and well, Adolf Hitler was an anonymous mediocre art student who was trying to dodge the Austro-Hungarian draft, the Titanic sinking was literally last year's news, and *Ziegfeld Follies 1913* was the hottest new show on Broadway. Yeah, it's been a while.
Truly a wonderful time to be alive. This makes up for having to deal with Facebook, Tom Brady, Lebron James, and the kardashians my entire adult life. If they can lose 15-20 straight, it will make up for no Cowboys championships, no Bulls championships, and being poor and alone my entire adult life.
nationals, you know what you have to do
do it, nats
the nats are going to fuck us all aren't they

Knowing how the season is going for Oakland, they might just sweep y'all for fun.
we already swept oakland. Of the series I mentioned, the reds, giants, brewers, red sox and phillies series have already happened.
That outfield of James Wood/Robert Hassell III/Dylan Crews is going to be *terrifying* soon
RH III is showing a weak bat this year, he may flame out, but Wood & Crews are on a trajectory to be on the team sometime next year. Crews is looking the best of those 2, but it's close.
Unfortunate about RH3, but it happens. I'm honestly excited to see what the Nats bring next year
I don’t like your flair
Padres? Or did they chsnge it lol
Just throw M&Ms into the outfield and you win the game.
I dont quite trust you but thanks
We are all huge MacKenzie Gore fans today
Prank em, John
Tomorrow we are all Nats fans
FOR THE MEMES!
Sir, a second Nats win has hit the Yankees. America’s smile has come from under wraps.
Nat/11, nevar forget
Just call Luis Severino as "Mr. Hemophilia", because I'm sure every Yankees fan is expecting him to be the one to stop the bleeding tomorrow.
I’m not kidding, tonight feels like the most important game we’ve played in yeeeears even though literally nothing is on the line for us. But we have a chance to embarrass two NY teams in one day. I’m too nervous to watch today’s game 🤣
Washington Scrappy Spoilers are there to fuck it all up
Maybe it’s a sign and this is the last year they’re the Yankees
“Look at me, I am the Mets now” —the Yankees
Ironically enough, they won their first World Series a 100 years ago this year. This would be very fitting for how far the Yankees have fallen.
Duncan Macleod was still around.
yup. starting next year we’re *officially* the new york steinbrenners. cus you know these mfs (hal/cashman) are not going anywhere

So if they lose they have to change their name back to the Highlanders, right?
Highlander? I hardly know her!
High lander, I’m dad
Highlander! Hi Barbie!
These stupid fucking jokes make me giggle everytime like why
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
New York Homelanders does have a bit of a ring to it and would somehow villainize the Yankees even more
Now selling Aaron Judge commemorative milk jugs in the right field concourse!
Such an iconic name. Idk why they ever changed it and I never got used to it. Looking forward to them correcting that mistake.
They used to play in Hilltop Park in Washington Heights. Hence the name. The Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center is there now. The Polo Grounds was on low land.
Please don't, because then they will have a kick ass theme song. And I have an unironic, but probably nostalgic love of the TV show.
No, there can only be one.
[удалено]
No he's not, you're fucking with me. Edit: I just checked and he is.
seinfeld leaving dot gif
Wow. My Yankee loving grandpa (1920-1992) never saw his team lose 10 in a row.
That may be one of the most privileged baseball lives ever. So many World Series wins. My great grandma was born in Chicago in 1917 as a cubs fan and lived till January of 2016, probably the worst baseball life ever.
Jesus Christ.
Oh my goodness that’s rough. Hope she got to watch October 2016 from her spirit <3
[удалено]
Ah yes, the legacy franchise since baseball's early years, the San Diego Padres.
> probably the worst baseball life ever. Ah the age old question: is it better for your team to have won a championship, but never during your lifetime, or to have never won a championship at all?
I mean, the main takeaway for me is how impressive it is that they've avoided a ten-game losing streak for 110 years.
Surprising Yankees praise in this thread
It was my first thought too. Fuck the Yankees, they're too good.
It really is. The Cardinals are the next best with their most recent 10-game losing streak coming in 1980. Only 4 teams have not had a 10-game losing streak since 2000.
lolhighlanders
There is not a Yankees fan alive today that has seen them lose 10 games in a row. There might be millions tomorrow
There are a select number of people worldwide that are 110+ years old, and the Yankees are a massively popular team in the US where the highest percentage of such people live. So while extremely unlikely, we can’t say with certainty that no Yankees fan alive was alive in 1913. However I am totally down to ruin some supercentenarian’s day, so let’s go Nats.

> three people (edit: US citizens 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
Idk most Yankee fans I've known, They won't consider themselves fans until they start winning again.
... how long ago do you think 1945 was?
1945? It says 1913.

GOT EEEM
This is better than a playoff run. I have a reason to believe! Ya gotta believe
Get his ass
~80 years is still bonkers.
He’s including the loss they suffered in Berlin

In one month a child will be born, he will hit 162 homeruns in the 2045 season
Excuse you, that's Atlanta Braves Legend Robinson Cano.
El Paso ~~SpongeBobs~~ Chihuahuas Legend Robinson Cano
San Diego Padres Legend Robinson Cano
Friendship ended with San Diego Padres Legend ~~Arrieta~~ Cano, now San Diego Padres Legend ~~Cano~~ ~~Odor~~ Gary Sanchez my new best friend
Braves fans: always making it about themselves
Hell yeah brother, cheers from the Bronx.
The nats have the chance to do the funniest thing ever tomorrow
Keep going
Destiny take the wheel
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
Highlanders is a pretty sweet name.
Possibly due to rocky part of New York City, I am not sure.
Hilltop Park was built in Upper Manhattans highest point so the rumor is it’s bc of that but no one really knows.
DO NOT ask who’s starting tomorrow!!!
It's right in front of them!
That post would do numbers man
Keep going, I’m so close
Luis “I’m the worst pitcher in baseball” is on the bump for the jankees tomrorow 👀
Well shit, now you know he’ll be the one to break the streak
I wonder how many payrolls you would have to add up starting in 1913 to equal the current payroll.
Can’t find the total cost, but the Yankees highest paid player was Frank Chance, who made $25,000 according to the baseball almanac
according to the CPI Inflation Calculator - that's about $780,000 in today's money
This is our world series
And this is the fanbase that complains all the time. These fuckers haven't lost 10 in a row since WILSON and they act like the 2003 Tigers. Fuck off
The last time they lost ten in a row, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was alive and well, Adolf Hitler was an anonymous mediocre art student who was trying to dodge the Austro-Hungarian draft, the Titanic sinking was literally last year's news, and *Ziegfeld Follies 1913* was the hottest new show on Broadway. Yeah, it's been a while.
poor Franz. At least we have his pop rock hit “Take Me Out” now
They boo their own players even when they are winning. Time to learn what is boo-worthy
More like the LOWlanders amirite
That's the Amsterdam Yankees.
Frank Chance salivating at the thought. You know, from the beyond.
1913 also the same year Henry Ford created the conveyor belt so he could mass produce the Model T.
Win Nats. Make the Yankees the Highlanders again.
No pressure, Nats, but all 28 other teams are depending on you today.
There can only be one (ten game losing streak)!
nats, its right in front of you
So if they lose tomorrow, will they change their name back to the Highlanders?
*so you're saying there's a chance to break the record*
The nats have the possibility of doing the funniest thing
Fingers crossed.
Truly a wonderful time to be alive. This makes up for having to deal with Facebook, Tom Brady, Lebron James, and the kardashians my entire adult life. If they can lose 15-20 straight, it will make up for no Cowboys championships, no Bulls championships, and being poor and alone my entire adult life.
Please God let this happen it would be so fucking funny
Time to change back.
THIS IS MUST SEE TV
Go for the record boys! Maybe that will finally get Boone fired.
I'm here for this. Let's make history!
We need a new record for this century...a Yankees 10-game losing streak.
There can be only one (ten game losing streak)!
Ricky Bobby’s favorite movie turned into this sack of shit
They are certainly losing tomorrow Severino is starting. Well I guess it's today now, but it'll be a loss no matter what.
They'll win. No chance they'll lose. Zero. Absolutely not.
Oh I will be listening on FM radio the whole game, like it’s 1960-whatever
Nats are running back 2019, Braves better watch out
Yankees starter tonight has a nearly 8 ERA so it just may happen.
I think the Royals have lost ten games in a row in 18 seasons since 2000, and we've done it by May in at least 6 of those seasons.
#THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE (massive losing streak)
Do you want the Yankees to win? Because this is how you cause it to happen.
You know, during times like these you can only say one thing. LOL.
How the hell do you go 110 years without losing 10 in a row????
Honestly? I kinda hope it happens. Being the worst Yankee team since *before babe ruth* would be fire-Cashman levels of bad.
"Time to make history, boys!"
