What does it mean to you when a team wins the World Series?

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The Red Sox certainly looked like they were overlooking the Indians and looking ahead.

Here's hoping the Cubs are looking ahead too!

Well there offense JUST picked up the last few games.. it may disappear again

I'm not predicting anything about the Cubs bats in the WS, but I can tell you that heading into the ALCS, I was hearing an awful lot about how the Blue Jays offense was finally clicking on all cylinders.

We'll see.

WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU GET OFF TRYING TO SAY THE INDIANS WERE LUCKY?!?! THEY ATE THE RED SOX LUNCH, ASSHOLE. FUCK YOU!

Just kidding. I totally agree. If the Indians had been healthy heading into the playoffs, I'd probably have said the Red Sox and Blue Jays were "better teams." With the injuries, there's no question the Indians weren't better. However, when the rubber met the road, the 2016 Indians proved that they were real bad asses while the Red Sox and Blue Jays just went into their locker rooms and jerked each other off with shampoo. I'm okay with that.

What are you? Some kind of savage?

You don't jerk off with shampoo. That's a job for conditioner.

Yeah, they seemed to be.. Got cooled off a lot.

Yes, those cheating bastids! I betcha Charlie Sheen gave them all crack! blol

hahahaha, good analogy. The Red Sox certainly looked like they were overlooking the Indians and looking ahead.

No team 'looks ahead.'
Stupidest. LOGIC. Ever.

 

[redseat]

I team 'looks ahead.'
Stupidest. LOGIC. Ever.

Really? Because no team in ANY sport has ever done that!

Of course, Champ. I didn't say I was jerking off with shampoo, the Red Sox and Blue Jays were. I'm partial to Smucker's Goober peanut butter and jelly mix.

You're talking about a team in a playoff series of games.

But even if I let you equivocate, it's still virtually always true that no team in any sport at any serious level EVER looks ahead.

It's just some idiot shit idiot fans say.

You've obviously never played a sport in your life.. This shit unfortunately happens

So a team would never underestimate, or maybe not have the same urgency during preparation if they were facing a perceived lesser team?

So nearly almost. Which is the same as saying that there's a possibility, no matter how slight, that a team looks ahead, right? Sounds like you just contradicted yourself.

No, absolutely not, you're obscene. How dare you say this!!!!!




glad you got what I was talking about

Does that make them the best team in baseball for that season? Were the 2001 Diamondbacks better than the 2001 Mariners? What if the Indians win the World Series this year- does that make them better than the Cubs, or any other team in baseball this year? I'm looking forward to interesting opinions

Yes. I think it's chickenshit to say they weren't the best team.

The best team finds a way to win. End of story.

Being that you're a fan of a team that won a championship with an 83-78 record, I'm not surprised that's your take. lolz.

I bet you can't find one team that was able to beat them in the World Series that year.

They're the undisputed 2006 champions. No doubt about that.

That healthy word matters a lot. Everyone points out the Cardinals underdogs but the Cards have also had really good regular season teams crash and burn like everyone else.
