I'd forgotten about the 96 collapse.

Don't you mean the ascendance of a new Yankee Dynasty?  Some must fall so the champs may rise.

No.  I mean the embarrassing collapse of the Braves.

That's what I said.  The rightful ascendance of a dominant franchise reclaiming their birthright.

No.  I'm talking about the Braves, who lost against multiple different teams in the World Series.  The Braves were without question one of if not the best team in baseball during the 1990s, but they never really played like it in the World Series.  The 1996 loss was just one of the worst cases of their World Series woes.

As you should.

You are exactly zero fun to argue with.  Spoiling good, emotional, fanaticism with your measured facts and opinions.  :P

Jane Fonda is a...never mind.

On a side note: The Toronto offensive lineup is scary good.  And Bautista is still a douche-nozzle, which I'm pretty sure is just a fact and not an opinion.  :)

I've been an Indians fan since I started watching baseball around '93 (yeah, I do the go Jays thing, but they're a runner up...only reason they're even that is that the Expos don't exist anymore). Entering the playoffs with no Carrasco and no Santana, I figured they could MAYBE grind out a win over the Red Sox.

Sweep.

Then Bauer hacks his finger up ON A GODDAMN DRONE of all things. Well, that's that.

Win in 5.

I do not know what to think at this point. I'm hoping the Cubs and Dodgers pound on each other for the full seven to give time for rest (and possibly allow Santana to make the World Series roster).

Also, Holy Hell are the TBS announce crew atrocious. How on Earth did they end up doing AL games?! How did that happen?
