Boston loses in Three straight

[atomic]

Give me an Indians-Cubs World Series. Somebody's streak will end. Would be entertaining.

Nah. I want those teams to keep losing forever. It is part of their charm. I think they should remove lighting from Wrigley field as well.

I don't have a horse in this race but if they learned a lesson why didn't Baltimore get one of the expansion franchises.

2 reasons:

1. The NFL wanted to expand in the Southeast (aka NASCAR country).

2. NFL owners wanted the Baltimore stadium funding to remain on the table to use as leverage in their own cities to get better stadium deals.

Fixed that for you.

I know right, would be awesome to have Trembley back.

[TouchemAll]

I have suddenly become an Indians fan! Go Wahoos!

Yep same here Indians and Cubs somebody's streak has got to end. :laughlol:

[bluedog]

This gives me some solace after a miserable exit.

Terry Francona is a heckuva manager and that was some sweet revenge. I don't care if the Indians win the World Series at this point, so long as the Browns stay the same.

I don't know ... In Game 1, I really don't understand why Francona used Miller in the 5th inning and then used him for multiple innings. He's clearly an 8th inning guy who should only pitch for one inning regardless of how dominant he is. Using Miller early forced Francona to use his closer for 2 innings later in the game. I know they won the game, but isn't it more important to use relievers in traditional roles, regardless of whether you win or lose?

The man clearly has no respect for the integrity of the game.

No one wants Trembley back. Non Sequitur response from you. .

Nope. Cubs are the best team AND they have a horseshoe up their you-know-what's. Lethal combination.

Panik attack.

Francona obviously recovered from his prescription pill addiction and has a keen view of modern baseball.

Baltimore is not a major market untethered from the DC one.

Baltimore is not a major market untethered from the DC one.

And yet they both can support - very easily - 2 NFL teams. Odd, right?

And, even "untethered" (whatever the hell that means), the Baltimore market is 20 places higher than the Jacksonville market.

But you'd prefer Gibbons to Buck .

It appears at this point that an NFL franchise could exist in Peoria.

Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington is one indigenous market.

Have you ever been to an NFL game in Jacksonville?

Have you ever been to an NFL game in Jacksonville?

No. Do they lose money?
