The biggest mistake a successful team can make is assuming they will be back in the same position next year

The biggest fault you can have is to think, 'Hey, listen, this is going to be every year. We're going to be back here.' That's the number one mistake you can make.

This might actually be the Washington Capitals' year to win the Stanley Cup

Today is Friday, May 25th, and might actually be the Caps year. Like, it's still shocking that they're in the Stanley Cup Finals. And I'm not saying this in a mean way because I, too, root for and have rooted for loser franchises, but, like, the Caps were a loser franchise. So to get over that mountain, it takes a lot.

The Capitals went on to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-1 to win their first Stanley Cup in 2018.

Tom Wilson is a star and a complete badass

Tom Wilson, that dude's a star. I fucking love Tom Wilson. He's a badass. We make fun of him a lot because he tries to cut people's head off with his skates. And he like intentionally hits people in the head... but he's no longer on fraud watch.

Tom Wilson became a key part of the Capitals' championship core and signed a massive extension, validating his status as a top-line player.

The Houston Astros robbed the Yankees of a World Series title

I know that my Yankees got robbed. Then there's probably a lot of other teams that got robbed right? I mean, it's out there... Altuve got MVP when it should have been Judge. Yes extra Stripes. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things that people have to you know, they've lost focus on.

The sign-stealing scandal was confirmed by MLB, but whether it 'robbed' them of the title is a matter of debate.

Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame

I still go back to the Pete Rose, you know saying I know it was he wrong? Yes, but how is he not? You know saying in in the Hall of Fame, right?

Inherently subjective debate regarding Hall of Fame entry requirements.

Aaron Judge hasn't earned his Yankee Pinstripes yet because he hasn't won a World Series

He hasn't played a game [with Pinstripes]... he should have won a championship... You have to win a World Series [to earn them].

This is a traditionalist opinion on team legacy and individual honors.
