^Mets fans are way too jaded to prematurely declare themselves champs tho

cant argue that...they've come to expect the implosion at some point

 

[CP1708]

I believe we have some photos here in this Padres thread of the Spring Training Celebration event.....

Dozens of photos, if I remember correctly.....

Diaz getting hurt in the WBC was the start of the end this season. I was ready to jump out the window when that happened. It’s been downhill ever since.

the mets have definitely had a fanfest..in fact a lot of teams do

both teams are 1a and 1b for biggest flop...its simple

We have a FanFest too. Pads was on a different level. Go check out the videos. Petco was filled to the brim. It was wild. Surprised they didn’t raise up the NLDS banner during the whole thing

“we beat the Dodgers in the playoffs” banner

We of the new Padres thread DeadsetAce C CP1708 Bantz Lord T like to temper our expectations and not fall into the off-season hype. Winning state was always the expectation first and foremost.

oh i was downtown having breakfast right by there. i saw it. people everywhere, lines spanning blocks around the stadium

but outside of that EXTREMELY lame *** song the fans did, i don't see the big deal. as one of the honorary padres thread captains, an honor bestowed on me by padres thread president g-time , i'll defend the padres for this fan fest!

Exactly.

They’re too cynical. They’re too New York.

They wouldn’t do the dumb **** the Padres did.

I know lots of Mets fans and most seem to suffer from some version of PTSD. Even when they made the World Series in 2015, most of my Mets fan friends were like “this is too good to be true”

Was going to post them in the new Padres thread but we were backstabbed and hoodwinked by our Secretary of State.

Man after watching that clip of the pop up in the Mets/Dodgers game, I’m 100% convinced Lindor probably should have called him off/made the play once he saw Batty circling. He should have already been drifting that direction anyways just in case but he was just watching.

It is 909am PST and the level of petty in here is incredibly high...

And I love it.

Look at that sea of Dodger Blue fans yesterday

But yeah ok still try and claim Dodger stadium south

Here’s one. Surprised they didn’t have thier 2023 off season champs banner up. I clearly remember machado doing the Miami ring count at their fanfest.

Still not sure why or how Josiah Gray was selected to the All Star game

 

[DeadsetAce]

Of course we’re raking today

Forgot Kris Bryant was on the Rockies

Forgot Kris Bryant was on the Rockies

Think Bryant forgot too.

 

[703 hwy]

Damn, man’s had his Padre’s post all typed up. Then the bottom of the 6th happened

Edit: there’s hope now

Does he still only have one homer at Coors since signing with them?

 

[703 hwy]

Does he still only have one homer at Coors since signing with them?

12 (across 2 seasons) from what I see but that’s still an underachievement for Coors field
