So why didn't the Twins get upset at Donaldson pimping a home run down two touchdowns? I though old school mentality dictated you weren't allowed to be happy while losing?
See it is this picking and choose of selective outrage that is the problem here. If you want to be old school, be old school. Just don't forget about it when it is your guys. That is trash.
If Minnesota takes out a Sox player because they got hurt feelings over the Sox not quitting playing a game still going on, that is a whole different problem.
You are literally telling people not to get excited or happy about this team right now because a Sox team 16 years ago ALMOST lost a divisional lead, but didn't and won the World Series.
It's an awful argument. It's on par with unwritten rules in terms of its uselessness.
If it really happened that Tony yelled at Mercedes for continuing to play a game of baseball that was still going on, it proves the point that we were all making about Tony being out of touch.
We were world champs, but the season was a failure because Cleveland almost caught us during the regular season, even though we swept them when it matters most.
Got it.
For a franchise that is the ultimate in "close but not quite" seasons, I am not sure what other purpose you want a season to serve than to win. I have heard of moral victories, but a moral loss? That is a new one for me.
