People forget that was game 6 so the Sox had another chance to win it and didn't. It's hard to blame it all on Buckner or on the loss of one game in a best of seven series.
No the Mets were the best team because they won 4 head to head games in the Series. To paraphrase what Danny Murtaugh said to a reporter who asked about the huge difference in runs scored by the Yanks over his Pirates in the 1960 world series "I thought the goal was to see who wins more games...
The best team almost always win a best of 7 series. And the two best win a best of 5 and a best of 7 to play for the title. Any one game is close to a coin toss but over time the better team wins. In baseball pitching and defense seem to beat offense if history is the judge.
I'm not sure why...
The Orioles have special pricing on Tuesdays, all Upper Reserved seats are $10. I try to go to a few each year. Costs more to park than for the ticket!.
True but the century is only 15% gone.
I'm sure your answer is Boston.
Name the only city to win a World Series, Super Bowl, NFL championship, WFL championship, NBA championship, CFL championship and MLS soccer championship.
Love the comments. If your team isn't there yet don't worry. They will be at some point!

Warning for language, guess I should have included that originally.
It was not the play that anyone would call knowing the result. That is all there is to it. Had the pass been complete Carroll would be being called a genius. Had it been incomplete they would have praised his 'guts' for making that call. It was intercepted. It happens all throughout the season.
They checked all the balls before the game so no they weren't over inflated, they were all within spec. It obviously didn't affect the outcome of the game but I wish the Pats would stop acting like politicians and just accept responsibility that SOMETHING happened to the game balls while they...
You mean it was just a random chance that 11 out of their 12 balls lost air pressure and none of the Colts balls did? Or did someone from the Colts sneak onto the Pats bench, grab their closely watched game balls without being seen, bleed out some air, put them back and then sneak off without...
So 50% of Americans wouldn't let their kid play football. Big deal.
90% of them would have given the same answer 25 years ago. It's not like every American parent ever wanted their kid to play football. As long as you can make millions and be famous there will be people who want to play it.
I'm an O's fan and I like our guys but the Angels are anything but anemic. They went 15-11 in September with 6 of the losses coming after they clinched and they were resting guys. King Albert and Hamilton may not be in their prime but the top 5 of their order is as dangerous as any team in the...
