6/10 Richie points. Good effort.The Cubs haven't won a World Series in 100 years. Cleveland hadn't won a title in any sport in 50 years. The Red Sox hadn't won the World Series since the Babe Ruth era. Leicester City wins the Premier League. Francis Ouimet beats Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in the US Open. American Pharaoh wins the Triple Crown after a 30+ year drought. Texas Western beats Kentucky. Kentucky tries to win 40 games in a season.
These are the stories that make sports special. Yes, we all have our teams, but we also love the game. But the aura and mystique and tradition of the games we watch make them that much more special.
False. Eff the game. My team wins or the game can GFY, DIAF, EAD, etc.Yes, we all have our teams, but we also love the game.

Not going to lie, Wrigley in October is always pretty cool.
As I've said before, ballparks and atmosphere are of the utmost importance to me in the MLB playoffs. Fenway, AT&T, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium, etc. make things better.
As a lurker and infrequent poster nothing to me is more confusing than this cole fella. Apparently went by the name UKO, is a UNC fan (wtf?), cheated on his wife, everyone absolutely hates him in a serious seeming way, but yet he still posts here. Just one of those confusing mysteries that shall never be known I suppose.

That and BlueKel is Kelenna Azubuike. Is that not true either?Am I the only one who thought Joe B. Hall was KingLlama's grandfather?![]()
Shouldn't there also be a large number of Braves fans thanks to WTBS?
You can't even bring up UKFB in here without bitching and moaning and hilarious jokes about how terrible we are for 3 straight pages...and we're considered the UK sports fan cognoscenti. I'm not sure what you expect. It's late July/early August.
I (obviously wrongfully) expect people in the sports and entertainment industry to not mail it in. There are interesting stories and topics out here but (a) you have to get away from the easy and comfortable and (b) that requires some effort.
There isn't nearly as much distance between the best and worst local show as most make there out to be.
I'm in no position to give anything up for Winona Ryder this afternoon, pal.
Central time beats the heck out of Eastern time...would be all for the change.
Not built to wake up early, nor is anyone in my house.
