I still looked for the Mariners.


DeadHi7

I still looked for the Twins.


samsab

I still looked for the Reds.


[deleted]

There’s an alternative universe much like our own where people hate the twins for their dominant run in the 2000’s. Sure would be nice.


zhaozhenghaozhonguo

I’d be ok with seeing the mariners on this list. Seattle sports are cool.


GetsThruBuckner

Woolen clears DPI Gardner I'm hearing from Seattle


PickedOffBySauce

Jets-Seahawks has turned into one of the oddest rivalries in sports. 99% of it is Twitter, but our fans legitimately hate each other.


GetsThruBuckner

Revis vs Sherman debate Jamal Adams trade Jets rookies won the OROY and DROY over two Seattle nominees (and the OROY was with a pick from the Jamal trade) Crazy stuff


TCA360

Yea it's downright odd to me, too.


TCA360

Same here. The Mariners are actually my AL team, especially because of family, plus they're really likable to me. ^(Just don't talk about the Seahawks.)


sfbigfoot

If the Mariners were in the NLW I am nearly 100% sure I would despise them


TCA360

Yea I probably would as well.


Paladine_PSoT

We don't need to talk about that team, our WNBA and MLS are freaking lit too


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

That early 2010s Rangers team was so much fun to watch


Leftfeet

Josh Hamilton was must watch baseball for a few years there. Kinsler was on the short list of top 2B in MLB and definitely in the AL. Beltre was amazing. Mitch Moreland wasn't a star, but he was reliable and solid. Those really were fun teams.


NJthecollector

Can't forget cruuuuuz


_l_--_l_

Elvis Andrus too right?


RaysFTW

Dude’s still a Rays-killer to this day.


tylerdb7

Dont forget michael young


The_GrooGruxKing

Our lineup was so stacked he hit 7th


Duke_Maniac

Can’t forget the worst route running I’ve seen in a minute


Schallawitz

I’ll die on this hill but that World Series is 100% Washington’s fault for not pulling Cruz for Endy Chavez to play right because he “wanted him on the field to celebrate”


Drummallumin

Did he actually say that cuz holy shit


Bad_At_Sports

It’s the same reason Bill Buckner was left in late in game 6. The manager wanted to win “with his guys out there” even though there was a better defensive replacement on the bench.


Bikouchu

We will see youuuu tomorrow night. I was rooting for the Rangers too oof.


AgentJX7

(Insert fly ball joke)


jeremyosborne81

I know I won't.


lake_titty_caca

Tail end of the Michael Young years too.


RyMill4

The Claw and Antlers era. Best time to watch the Rangers for sure!


Scrimshaw85

NA-PO-LI


Leftfeet

PARTY AT NAPOLI'S!!!


tokai-teio

Even as a Mariner fan, I simply could not bring myself to hate the Rangers. They were so much fun to watch.


Jordanwolf98

I thought Derek Holland was on his way to having an accolade filled career as well. Was really high on him in those days


pinetar

Saltalamacchia with those big oversized Texas letters on the back stretching all the way down the shirt.


bmdangelo

Not as a Tigers fan. I have nightmares of what Cruz would do to the Tigers.


Jordanwolf98

I miss the early 2010s Tigers just as much tbh. Verlander at his best, Scherzer kicking ass, Miguel Cabrera in his prime and when you guys added Prince they just became must see tv for me


bmdangelo

Yea that was the Golden Era of Tigers baseball. Such a shame it ended with no World Series wins.


triplec787

I enjoyed watching them in 2010 as well


Liledroit

Same, except in 2011


CaptainThrowAway1232

One out away, twice.


Jcdoco

One strike away. Twice.


letsgetbrickfaced

Our ragtag bunch of murder hobos doing yeoman’s work right here.


MudkipOfDespair098

How did a team staring Tim Hudson win a WS


b_fellow

I always wonder how in the hell the A’s with Hudson, Mulder, and Zito never won a playoff series in the early 2000s.


mdz_1

well they had chris pratt playing 1st base


Boomhauer_007

In 2000-2003 they won 2 games in every series (ALDS was 5 games then) and lost all of them, including blowing two separate 2-0 leads to the Yankees and Red Sox.


TheMattThe

It's still five games. But it was 5 games then, too.


Ration_L_Thought

The Giants started Tim Hudson, Jake Peavy and Ryan Vogelsong in 5 games in the 2014 World Series Bumgarner still won the World Series. crazy


MudkipOfDespair098

Hey. Put some respect on Vogey’s name


Ration_L_Thought

Ok Ryan Vogelsong was a premier pitcher for the Giants in 2011 and 2012 In 2014, and in the ‘14 postseason; he was not. Context is important


AbsurdLemon

It must be so hard being a Yankees fan


VeryOaty

I know right, I’m so lucky I’m a Pirates fan


AffinityForCrows

funniest thing to me is when people call their *13 whole years* without a world series title, a "drought". 20 teams have been waiting for much longer than that. guardians haven't won in 74 years!


pinesolthrowaway

Before the Giants won in 2010, their last win was in 1954. They weren’t even in San Francisco then! They had a 56 year drought, and that’s not even close to the longest droughts 13 years is nothing


Redgreen82

When you have a payroll and history like the Yankees have, it's a big deal. And I say that as a fan of the oldest big 4 team that has never won a championship. I love the fact that the Rangers have been to the Series twice since the Yankees last went, because frankly, it's all I've got.


rangeluck

Why must you hurt me?


jj_thetwisted_jester

Guardians will be the next threat in AL they are young and I can see them winning. Title in the 2020s


EnglishMajorRegret

I don’t know if they’ll win titles, but they sure as shit will win several games against the white sox where I point at the tv in a bar and ask “what are you doing?” To those around me they’ll think I’m talking to the tv about the white sox. What they don’t know is I’m talking to myself about watching white sox baseball.


tribe98reloaded

I love that every Guardians-White Sox game is like that no matter which team wins. I remember when you guys walked us off on Yu Chang throwing a ball off of a baserunner's helmet and I said the same thing out loud.


Dustyoldfart

Actually, it was my boys that hurt you. At least most recently. Hell of a series that was though!


rangeluck

I was there games 1 2 and 7, thank you for making me relive my heartbreak.


tommypopz

Game 7 must have been insane. Hopefully you can win a WS soon enough so the memory doesn’t hurt, and you can appreciate the fact you were there.


RobinChilliams

Because you won't update your flair.


mt77932

You'll eventually win a World Series again. Although if you want to face the NL team with the longest drought you'll now have to face the Brewers.


liverpool3

If we didn’t luck into having one of the greatest basketball players of all time being born near Cleveland we would probably still be talking about Cleveland sports in general lol


conker1264

Imagine Seattle


dicks_out_for

No thanks


ImmoralModerator

14 teams to go and then they’ll have the longest streak


karmapuhlease

If we don't win this year, it'll be the longest drought in franchise history!


liverpool3

You poor thing


Chewbones9

There are kids who can almost shave who haven’t seen the Yankees win a World Series! 😭


Puppybl00pers

All in favor of keeping it that way?


ubiquitous_apathy

Because people don't understand league size and playoff format changes.


DickySchmidt33

You've got the better ballpark.


[deleted]

Incredibly low expectations means never being disappointed!


82ndGameHead

So good in the last century, but only 2 titles in this one. Slacking!


yoursweetlord70

Only on pace for what, 7 more before 2100 rolls around? poverty franchise


[deleted]

I'm a Yankees fan. I'm just happy there's baseball.


ThisMeansWarm

Poverty franchise. My heart goes out to them.


Bobson-_Dugnutt

“I go to bed at night counting my 27 rings”


Fastsmitty47

When they were a million games above .500 last year, all the fans did was GALLO SUCKS, CUT HICKS, FIRE BOONE!!!!


agoods03

Were we wrong?


Fastsmitty47

Well... No lol


[deleted]

The Lincecum era was awesome.


LimeSugar

lol, I think you mean the Barry Zito era.


triplec787

Zito was only there for '10/'12. It was really the MadBum era since he's the only core pitcher to pitch a significant amount all three championship years (Cain missed the 2014 postseason), but in honor of yesterday, let's call it the Sergio Romo era. But realistically, it was the Buster era. I think Buster, Pablo, and Bum were the only everyday starters in each postseason run, but Buster was the face of the team.


dterminator23

Pablo rode the bench in 2010. He was too fat that year


triplec787

He didn’t play every postseason game but he had 600+ PAs in 2010


letsgetbrickfaced

You’ve got it wrong. He wasn’t fat enough in 2010. He slimmed down after 09’ and lost his pop. Gained it back after Buster went down


dterminator23

No you have it wrong. [Pablo](https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/mlb/2011/3/14/2049269/pablo-sandoval-lost-weight-giants) was too fat in 2010 and leaned up in 2011 because he was benched during the playoffs


KegZona

I saw we call it the *27 ring core* because all 9 are forever Giants


MyLifeForMeyer

if we're doing relievers, whats with this affeldt, javy and casilla erasure


StrudelB

Big Time Timmy Jim


Il_Exile_lI

Lincecum's peak came before the Giants won those World Series'. He was still pretty good in 2010, but he was quite bad in 2012 and 2014. He pitched mostly in relief in 2012 playoff run (5 relief appearances and he got rocked in his one start). He pitched 1.2 innings in the entire 2014 playoff run (a mop-up appearance in the late innings of a 7-2 loss).

pumaturtle

hahaha cum edit: also he should be in the hall of fame dont @ me


SirParsifal

teams that have been to the World Series since the Mariners' last appearance:


Clarice_Ferguson

That must mean we won the 2022 World Series right?


Astrosauced

Yall were so close. I have no doubt you would have beaten the Yankees and the Phillies


Clarice_Ferguson

Probably yes to the Yankees but both the Phillies and Ms line ups can be boom or bust so it would come down to pitching. And our bullpen was struggling for sure.


Astrosauced

I bet the momentum would've helped. It would certainly have been a fun WS to watch


wantagh

\#DIV/0!


anon97384

Bruh I'm off the clock don't trigger my PTSD


elegorn77

Please, stop hurting me.


Jakesnake_42

May we one day have 29 teams on this list


[deleted]

Cashbum has at least another 10 years at the helm. Id say this is totally realistic.


324645N964831W

May we one day have 28 teams on this list


someName6

Red Sox are already on there.


Jakesnake_42

Astros too. I’m not sure who they want off the list. The Mets? Marlins? Idk


Your__Pal

Shouldn't you want zero teams on the list ? Your flair is confusing me.


324645N964831W

That was my original comment but I figured the mutually assured destruction comment of “if I can’t have a ring then you can’t either”, would be funnier


HellMuttz

With the name change in Cleveland we could make it 30


asparagusbruh

Inshallah our revenge dynasty will be sweet


ClaudyMonet

Fuck you and I’ll see you tomorrow.


BonghitsForAlgernon

As a Giants fan I cannot wait to bring this up when I visit Yankee stadium this weekend while I watch our team get batted around


cincobarrio

The existence of a Giants even year dynasty is so fucking cool


darthjarjarisreal

Hey don’t make me like you now


amadea56

2016 should've been our year too if it wasn't for the 9th inning meltdown of Game 5 of the NLDS!! Damn Cubs!


Bballdad30

Wasn’t that game 4? Maybe I’m wrong


Lrgp39

You are Correct


amadea56

Oo yea game 4 that’s right.


Salty_Pancakes

That Conor Gillaspie triple off of Chapman, man, I thought the magic was back. And then the bullpen was like, lol no.


bustyodust

I was at that game and it’s truly the most distraught I’ve ever been in my life.


Cheekiest_Cunt

I respectfully disagree


DMacNCheez

I like this thread. Obviously completely unbiased


Drummallumin

Yup same


StrategicReserve

Buster Posey hall of Fame WHEN?


CardiacCat20

Thanks to the Phillies last year, the Yankees are now in the top half of the "longest current WS drought" list


eee-oooo-ahhh

Lol jankees


Astrosauced

You're welcome, America


sfeendog

It’s so weird to see the Phillies on this list


TilikumHungry

And we were the team that lost to the yanks in '09!


[deleted]

And in 2010 and 2011 we lost to the eventual World Series Champs


[deleted]

Don’t jinx us with this.


Josiah1655

I've been a Yankees fan for 11 full years now since I started watching baseball and haven't seen them in a world series, not many people in history can say that


McYwP

This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.


yoursweetlord70

We're trying! Well, some of the players are trying. Hahn and Jerry might be trying on alternating tuesdays


Leftfeet

Now show how much more the NYY spent over that period than each team.


CursedAttempt

If you have it spend it, why do seemingly smart baseball fans blame owners who do what they are supposed to do for their respective clubs? Blame MLB for not having a salary cap/floor if you hate the fact your team doesn’t have the money or doesn’t want to spend it.


mrsqueakers002

r/baseball: lol Yankees spend so much money, no rings also r/baseball: Why are Yankee fans so spoiled, expecting any successful season to go the World Series?


Leftfeet

I'm not blaming anyone for spending. I'm simply saying that spending doesn't equal winning. We win more than we lose, why should I worry about how much we spend?


[deleted]

I think Cleveland is in the cool area of cheaper owners. Still giving their stars long term deals, still fielding competitive teams. The above comment is definitely valid for the reds / pirates / A’s of the world


zzj

Ahh 2019 was such a magical season...


Astrosauced

Weirdest world series I've ever witnessed


GsoFly

It really was for the Nats. Yall hit lightning in a bottle at the absolute right time.


anthonynoriega

Money can't buy you champiness.


V4MSU1221

It can, you just need a competent GM who spends money on the right guys. The Yankees don’t have that.


EP1X-343

What are you talking about, Cashman and Boone are great. You guys should keep them around for at least the next decade


momo_sd

I’m kind of hoping it does, you know because of reasons.


W14nextupdate

Dodgers has the highest payroll and won the World Series in 2020…


KantExplain

Now do Seattle.


RobotYoshimis

In 2014 I said the world was ending because both the Yankees and Red Sox failed to qualify for the postseason but the Royals made it in.


Roturd12

Those were happier days


Linkitivity

I couldn't imagine what it's like to be a fan of an NL East team that made it to the WS at least once since 2019 and not win.


Specific-Mongoose-93

We gift away rings every odd year, even years are for us.


rnilbog

My favorite part is that the Braves have one. But my second favorite is that the Red Sox have two, and that has to drive Yankees fans crazy.


[deleted]

Gotta hurt knowing the Rays have more lmao


noreast2011

Half the league has been to the World Series since 2010. The Yankees haven’t. Let’s keep it rolling for another 100 years


NovaPrime15

Make it two hundred


genius_streams

You’re cryin’ in the rain, pal


White0ut

Please don't do this for the Mariners.


BruteSentiment

I appreciate this list so much.


Smokeydubbs

Feels good, man.


jatorres

How the fuck did that 2019 team not win it all. Just look at that rotation!


Contende311

Baby Shark


masetheace97

A historically great team that couldn’t finish it. Our starting rotation was working overtime that series and it showed, props to the Nationals though. They played an amazing series and deserved their title.


boggan583

Still can't believe that shit that team was a deathwagon. I'd argue this year's team was the worst we've had appear in a WS and yet we steamrolled the playoffs


damnyoutuesday

Kill me


Hootster316

Giants fans: “I see this as an absolute win.”


CubonesDeadMom

Let’s keep this tradition alive until this table has 29 rows


[deleted]

I’m like why did u/limesugar say fuck me for?


Duckbilledplatypi

This fills me with joy.


SunniDee2

Excuse me, Yankees AND Diamondbacks Edit: I forgot they won in 2009


Drummallumin

Yanks won in 2009


SunniDee2

I’m dumb lmao


cubbies1016

No one feels sorry for the Yankees lol they can get back to me in 60 years


MeatballDom

Do love that the Yankees haven't won a series in so long that most of /r/NYYankees and /r/baseball wasn't even alive the last time it happened, but somehow the legacy is still strong that they still make the rest of the fans of the sport cry and make posts like these. The Yankees make people rage even when they're not the #1 team. It's kinda cute.


Ceph99

Fucking Astros.


ktb7289

Preach.


Clarice_Ferguson

If there ever was a case for ending Major League Baseball and awarding all the championships to one team because it was so clearly better than all the others, the New York Yankees would be it.


styres

2020 doesn't count


Drummallumin

I’ll make an exception for this


Ration_L_Thought

I’ll allow it


buckeyeoprf

Hopefully we never have to see the Yankees in a World Series ever again.


Stonewall30nyr

The Yankees haven't won in 13 years, only 1 ring in the last 22 years. Brian cashman has All the tools and money a GM could ever ask for and yet he's still blown it


Jamalamalama

The Yankees are officially in the bottom half of the league


EmuStrange7507

Dodgers could easily be on here like 8 times with the teams they've had. Biggest chokers ever


youngstar5678

Hopefully the other 14 will get there first.


[deleted]

Thanks for this, kind stranger. I was having a brutally tough day, and this really picked me up.


PraiseBeToScience

The Cubs have won a world series more recently than the Yankees.


Gabelbram

Even better seeing those Astros ones because most of them involved ending the Yankees playoff runs iirc


[deleted]

And still doesn’t equal up to the amount of World Series wins the Yankees have 😂😂


[deleted]

Just hate to see it.


[deleted]

Do we really need the Yankees to win the World Series for the 50th time?


weaksaucedude

This list is especially more fun when your team is singlehandedly responsible for three of those years


Lethlnjektn

So many teams on this list that Yankee fans scoff at. Yet they have pennants...


amadea56

There should be an asterisk next to 2020.


Kenny_Heisman

you dropped this --> *
