It's called "Wait 'Til Next Year". It's about this MLB team that hasn't won a World Series in 98 years. Guess what team that would be?

You are heartless, man. On the day that the other Chicago team is eliminated from postseason contention, and the Red Sox drop to third in the division, you gotta bust on the Cubbies? That's just cruel.

I expected gravestones with two colors of sox on them this morning.

You could at least congratulate DJ (TJ?) on a nifty Seattle win in extra innings last night. They score 3 in the ninth to tie it and then win it in the 10th. Ichiro got 5 hits and scored the winning run, Ibanez and Sexson each had 4 hits, and some Putz got the win. Pretty fun game!

And just to feed JR a slice of humble pie, here's one of his contributions from last year's baseball thread. At the end of the season, Mick commented that the Tigers had a decent farm system and that '06 might be interesting for Detroit fans. JR's take?

Think they can get Bill Lajoie back from the BoSox? I don't care if he is 175 years old, he's gotta be better than the goober they got running things now.

Oooooo, missed it by that much!

I meant to get Lajoie back as a manager, instead of as a general manager. They got Leyland instead.

And if you believe that,.......

Nope, can't bust on Mick this year....at all. The Tiggers deserve all the accolades that they are getting.

1) Thank you.

2)
R.I.P. BoSox


R.I.P. White Sox

3) Congratulations, Rocko. Your Mariners exceeded all expectations this year; they're only 14 1/2 games out of first place in their division. It's kinda...wierd...though when you can say that a team could really use a few more Putz's.
