Good MLB Wild Card games coming...
Astros @ Yankees, Tuesday
Cubs @ Pirates, Wednesday
Shame the Cubbies game isn't at Wrigley. We could use Bartman 2.0.

LOOKING FOR A REAL SPORT?
‘The most exciting sport you have never heard of!’
60 Minutes Sports put together a feature on hurling which was broadcast right across the United States last week. In a comprehensive clip, it profiled the sport in an introductory manner, from the top level in Croke Park right down to grass-roots.
Top stars of the game were profiled, from Henry Shefflin and Michael Rice to Zane Keenan. It highlighted the difference to top American sports, and emphasised the amateur lifestyle of the players.
All in all, it was a well put together piece. But enough from us, have a look for yourself.

I think they should make him a Chicago icon and embrace that moment and turn it into a positive.

Not sure if that walkman headset wearing dork is worthy of that. But I wouldn't mind a statue of Moises Alou throwing a tantrum

Are the hurling spokesman or something? You are REALLY pushing this "hurling" thing. People in America do that all the time after drinking too much already!

Tried to tell you dude that you were not being realistic and living in a fantasy that the Cubs would make it to the world series THIS year. as i said on my thread,you have to be realistic and think with your mind not your heart.the Cubs have three rookies in their starting lineup.they just learned how to win this year. to think they would make is this year was not realistic and a pipe dream.
Teams that have their first winning season after so many years of losing just dont go to the world series the very next year.its very very rare when it does.
Neither the Royals or the Pirates made it to the world series a couple years ago when they both had their first winning season in over 20 years. For the Royals,last year was their second winning season in a row.
I was thinking with my mind not with my heart so "I" knew better.
while true the Mets did it this year after finising 79-83 last year,thats a little different because thats not too far off from a winning record.
The Cubs on the other hand just started learning how to win the last couple months of the season last year after being the joke of the league since the last time they had a winning record which was like 7 years ago or so. the last 7 years or so after just the first couple months of the baseball season they were always out of it until this year.you just dont change the culture of a franchise with a long history of failure overnight like that in one year dude.

Murphy name has long cursed Cubs
The story goes that the players refused to allow the unpopular owner to come to dinner with them to celebrate the 1908 World Series title because he'd alienated the fans and players by selling World Series tickets for a profit, making it difficult for loyal fans to purchase them.
Fast forward to 1945, the last time the Cubs advanced to the World Series, when Chicago tavern owner Billy Sianis and his pet goat were denied entry to the Fall Classic at Wrigley Field, giving rise to the "Curse of the Billy Goat." The goat's name? Murphy.
The Murphy name continued to curse the Cubs in 1969, when Chicago blew a big lead in the NL standings to the eventual World Series champion Mets, whose general manager was Johnny Murphy and whose broadcaster was Bob Murphy.
The Cubs also blew a 2-0 lead to the San Diego Padres in the best-of-five 1984 NLCS by losing three straight at Jack Murphy Stadium, the ballpark named for Bob's brother.

CBS making SoCal residents watch the 2-5 Chargers vs. 1-6 Ravens instead of games with real playoff implications. If only we could get some sh***y teams to move to the LA market, too. Oh, wait.....

cool to see that you FINALLY stopped drinking that koolaide served in st louis and FINALLY understand the Rams are indeed coming back to LA next year.
cant wait till trolls rightwinger and antiquity have no choice but to admit they were proven wrong next year when they are back since they are the only ones here who have not backpeddled on this at USMB and still insist they are never coming back.
knowing those two trolls though,they are too arrogant to admit when they are wrong and they will say they never said that like so many others did as i knew they would,hee hee.well thank god thousands of other LA residents out there are not bandwagon fans like yourself obviously
and want the Rams back so badly they dont care HOW bad a team they are and will stick with them win or lose whether its an 0-16 record makes no difference to them.
the proof is in the pudding on that because if you watch the chargers game last year when the Rams played them there in SD,the first score came on a phillip rivers interception ran back for a touchdown by a Rams receiver and the cameras showed HALF the people in the sold out stadium,jumping up and down cheering and they were not Ram fans from st louis either.
to travel outside of LA like that with several thousand fans cheering on a team that has been just plain horrible the last 10 years plus,i tip my hat off to those loyal LA Ram fans.
they themselves have complained to the LA station down there they dont want the Chargers games,they want the Ram games.those people are true loyal fans same as Cub fans in chicago who have always sell out their games year after year despite being in last place in the divison so many times over the years.
the NFL better listen to the LA fans who have told them,they dont want the chargers,to keep your asses in san diego where you belong.
Like I said before,glad to see that you stopped drinking that koolaide they serve in st louis and understand the Rams are indeed coming back to LA.
waits for pooper to turn this around on me for talking about this subject even though i was not the one who brought it up.
