A 2004-2023 span of playoff futility would be pretty extraordinary anywhere but Toronto, where the leafs' postseason failures to the tune of eight consecutive lost rounds and 11 blown closeout games also lasted 2004-2023.

if we are looking at other sports, the Raptors just won the NBA title 5 years ago

the twins, wisely, front-loaded all of their playoff game losses the past two decades and will now go 13-0.

Let me know when your team of choice misses the playoffs for your 30’s and as an encore does it for your 40’s too.

Ooo... WC round only, eh?

Go... Rays, Phillies, Dbacks, and... uh... as a couple others have said, I like both the Blue Jays AND the Twins.

Twins: the 0-18 thing, last win in Oct 2004, nearly 20 years of mostly damned yankees-delivered pain (and the Astros added a bit more to that in a recent ALDS)...

Blue Jays: been rooting for both Seattle and Toronto to make the Wild Card(s) the last few seasons (2021: 2x NOPE.avi / 2022: 2x YEP! Now fight! / 2023: 1 yes, 1 no)...

Go... Rays, Phillies, Dbacks, and... I've decided TWINS!

I disagree. I would like the Rangers to lose the unexpected 3 game series they have to play in Tampa.
