CatnipOligarchy Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 nah....they learned their lesson in 1929 against the philly a's yeah if only they could have held on to games 4 and 5 of that series they would have been up 3-2 going back to wrigley and this 95 year drought might only be a 74 year drought... but they won tonight and so did the sox.. i feel a little better about the cubs right now than the sox.. im not really too confident with just one win over the yankees.. if they can go up 2-0 going back to fenway i might feel a little better about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 sure it has a long season, but hockey is cool.. but if they dont sign a new collective bargaining agreement by next september, you wont have to worry about hockey starting up next season I like hockey, but the whole sport needs a workover. 70% of the teams make it into the playoffs after an incredibly long and often dull season. I think hockey should be 16 games, and the NFL around 100. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aem4162 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 yeah if only they could have held on to games 4 and 5 of that series they would have been up 3-2 going back to wrigley and this 95 year drought might only be a 74 year drought...but they won tonight and so did the sox.. i feel a little better about the cubs right now than the sox.. im not really too confident with just one win over the yankees.. if they can go up 2-0 going back to fenway i might feel a little better about it Same here, but at the same time i'm EXCITED that the cubs and sox have WON games. I think it gives them both a bit more momentum to go for wins in the other games. Also...I just get excited when I think of a cubs-sox series.

Anyway...football starts at like the end of August? And it goes through the end of January? That's 5 months to play 16 games! What a waste! As for hockey, I don't think the season is NEAR as long as basketball's is. I'd be happy if basketball disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd die of happiness. only one downside to it.. one of them would have to lose.. again.. and then they would be all alone.. the cubs and red sox have always kinda fed off eachother.. the white sox havent won it since 1917 and the indians havent since 1948, but those teams just dont have the same kind of fans and arent as easy to love as the cubs and sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
