can we give the Red Sox a trophy too, because there are like a dozen former Sox players, coaches, and clubhouse personnel on both these teams |
calmrose
11.02.16 | series isn't over yet, and I don't care if Kluber is pitching on short rest again, it's still Kluber
with that said though, it appears the Cubs offense has awoken, and if we get the same kind of production (or at least close to it) from the top 5 hitters, then it's looking rather good for the Cubs |

My dad's a native of Chi-town, so I was born into Chicago sports. Saw Sosa hit a homer in Wrigley back in the day (probably with a corked bat). Was worried the curse was gonna kill the Cubs the past few nights, but I'm hoping they can pull one more out tonight. |

nhl season is just as long....6 months for both |
porcupinetheater
11.02.16 | Duration wise yea, but way fewer games |
guitarded_chuck
11.02.16 | yeah meant games |
Titan
11.02.16 | number of games are irrelevant since the 'playing surfaces' between sports obviously vary.....can't play a hockey game everyday, physically impossible.....nfl wanted to add 2 games for a total of 18, players association told them to go fuck themselves
and if we include playoffs, the nhl season is a month longer than baseball |
guitarded_chuck
11.02.16 | chill dude im not even comparing how rigorous it is or anything just literally the season is long as fuck games wise so its crazy when it comes down to one game
162 mlb games per season X 30 teams = 4860 games
82 nhl games per season x 30 teams = 2460 games
playoffs are longer but still
maybe youre being defensive cause you like hockey more than baseball but guess what so do i |
guitarded_chuck
11.02.16 | if we want to get completely off topic and talk about how hard the sport is to play its the nfl and its not even fucking close and their season is only 16 games long + playoffs lol |
wham49
11.02.16 | nhl over the nfl, still have to play more than 1 game a week, nfl players have 7 days to get the soreness out before they play again, |
guitarded_chuck
11.02.16 | yeah but the average length of a nfl player's career is way shorter because of the physical rigors
average nfl career length is only 3.5 seasons. lot of people don't realize that. they can get fucked by their contracts too, lot of guys get in over their heads signing big deals that they can never fulfill |
Divaman
11.02.16 | Pretty psyched for a Game 7. It's been an interesting series. |

Sevengill
11.03.16 | it's so much easier watching the playoffs since the Red Sox won three times. like, 2003/4 playoffs was just impossible to enjoy until it was over. 2013 ALCS alone aged me about ten years. I guess I'm still on a high from that championship so I can just sit back and enjoy a great series like this year without needing to feel validated. |
rufinthefury
11.03.16 | yeah that Red Sox victory in 04 is one of my greatest memories as a kid. now both of my cursed teams are free. if only my Orioles were doing better |
wham49
11.03.16 | wait what, red sox and Baltimore, not sure how that works |
Sevengill
11.03.16 | Sox/O's and Sox/Rays weren't a problem until 2012 and 2008, respectively. It used to be that the Devil Rays lost to everybody but the Yankees, it seemed like. |
rufinthefury
11.03.16 | @wham49 raised in Maryland and always went to the O games as a kid so I'll always root for em. Pops is from Boston so we always watched their games on tv and I went to a Fenway Park game once as a kid so there's the fandom there too. I was actually wayyyyyy more into the Red Sox than the Orioles.
And I currently live in Chicago and my Pops lived in Chicago/went to college in Chicago so we're down with the Cubs. My dad took me to a game at Wrigley Field when I was like 7 come to think of it.
but yeah I just like baseball |

"cubs orioles, or cubs sox are fine, but from the same division, I guess that seems weird to me"
frankly the Orioles are my "don't watch on tv ever but if they make it to the playoffs I'll watch them for sure." so I guess I'm a sleeper bandwagon fan for the Orioles you could say. |
