So.. is anybody else enjoying the Yankees being swept by the Tigers as much as I am?

Oh hell yes! I was lucky enough to be home watching the game yesterday and got pretty emotional when they won. I'm Detroit born and raised, this means a lot to me and to this city. GO TIGERS!!
It's awesome. I'm a Red Wings fan and I like anybody who beats the stinkin' Yankees. Double win for me.
Woo Hoo! Enjoy the off season A-Rod
i enjoy it when the yankees get killed by any team ... but especially bahstan

Oh heck YES!
I wish baseball would adopt a football model of revenue sharing. I think the sport is becoming less and less relevant because small markets are being shutout of any chance to win the World Series. I'd also make the game 7 innings so we can return to the 3 hour game that I enjoyed as a kid- but maybe that's just me.
I predict a team for sale after next season. Bought for 750 million but will sell for about 1.5 billion. Time to take the profit and run to Liverpool.
O.k. Now some fun stuff.. Super Bowl predictions??

World Series Factoids: *Detroit Tigers are the oldest one name, one city franchise in the American League. One of the original 8 AL teams, the club was chartered in 1894!
*San Francisco Giants were founded in 1883, and thus have won more games than any other professional sports team in North America, with 10,616 wins!

TLG if you want to be technical, they were originaly the New York Gothams, and it wasn't untill their manager at the time started referring to them as 'Giants' due to their success, that the new nickname stuck.
..and an optiboard thread without members splitting hairs over facts is like deja-vu all over again.

The only consolation for this Rays fan not seeing the water flyers make the post-season was seeing the Yankees get swept. The Tigers are going to need to find a way to contain Sandoval. Go cats!

Cincinnati Reds go back to 1869 as first professional team...but their team page only show official league records from 1882 with 10,138 wins and 9,809 losses
same with Cleveland, started as the Forrest Cities at the same time..but the 1869-1880 records are spotty because of all the amateur and barnstorming play.

So, now that we get to see the Harbaugh brothers coach against each other in the Super Bowl, what are the chances we will ever see them Manning boys QB against each other in the Game of Games?

Of course yes guys usually love sports,But my Favorite is football i love playing it,There are two reasons behind it.
Firstly the physic it is a very healthy sport for being physically fit,I feel myself like an athlete because it has developed a lot of strength and stamina in me.
Second is it helps me financially when i play it for any organization.

On September 3, 2013, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Milwaukee, to win their 81st game of the season, clinching their first non-losing season since 1992. 20 years of under .500 baseball. Yowza.

If MLB would have allowed Mark Cuban to buy the Pirates, their wait would have ended long ago. Selig and others were scared to death of Cuban...afraid of another Steinbrenner but this time in a small market.
God forbid baseball to have an over the top owner and bring life back into the sport.
Happy for Pirate fans that had to endure the dismantling of that good team in the early 90's because of ownership unwilling to pay FA money to Bonds. Bonilla and company, lost them with no compensation...and then go 20 years with no hopes...

This Saturday, my elder son, (the one who came in 2nd in the Moxie chugging contest this summer) and his football team the Mattanawcook Academy Lynx, are playing in the LTC East Championship game!! Wooooot for high school football!!! They finished the regular season with only one loss, to the very same team they are about to battle again for the championship. It should be pretty epic!! I expect all of my fellow optiboarders to show their support and wear maroon and grey and shout GO LYNX!! at 1pm EST this Saturday!!
