2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

It's definitely no where near what it used to be. All the players with bad blood are gone besides A-Rod and Papi. Then factor in neither team is that good and it's not as interesting.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Nope, not in 12 years

That's what I'm saying. It was like a decade ago. The Yankees and Red Sox are trash now so it's not really entertaining.

And their game is like 5 hours long :x

 

[Hahahaha]

Still the two biggest teams in baseball and they're both trash though.....

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Lakers are still 1 of the biggest teams in basketball, doesn't mean that they have to always been on national tv.

 

[Hahahaha]

I get it. Your Giants won a few rings over the last few years and no one outside of California gives a ****. Boston and Yankees on Sunday night again next week.

And that's fine. The rest of the country doesn't give 2 ***** about this Rivarly. Don't get mad at cause it's the truth.

 

[dmxfury]

As an outsider I'd much rather see a team like Chicago, Washington, KC, SF, Pitt, etc featured. Even when it was an interesting rivalry ESPN ruins it by over showcasing

Just like no one cares what your record is when going to Warriors games. Yet you still continue to share.

 

[nick.]

I don't blame y'all for not wanting to watch 2 mediocre teams play for 4 hours

That's so irreverent to this conversation but Thanks [emoji]128536[/emoji]

I even said it was a great Rivarly a decade ago

 

[nooera]

This is actually a pretty good game though

Arod and Papi still out here stroking

 

[nomnom]

Price is so unclutch

 

[Retroballer]

Yeah. Red Sox-Yankees Dodgers-Giants will always get multiple Sunday night games.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Pirates throwbacks

You really dont see the parallel? I'll leave you alone in your sandbox so you can talk about jerseys.

 

[nomnom]

Pirates pillbox hats are some of the best
Red Sox Yankees rivalry is better when they fight over free agents in the summer and players legitimately dislike each other

Varitek and A-Rod/ Manny and Clemens/Dempster and A Rod 

From what I remember, the A's have only been on ESPN Sunday Night for 2 times in the past 2 years (At Pitt, At ATL)

LOL

 

[nomnom]

LMAOOOO

 

[HIM]

My goodness, didn't the Orioles start 9-0? Boston already passed them up

Why are you always so angry? Who hurt you?

Your average little league team has better pitching.

Ridiculous GOAT stat of the week:

26.3% of Barry Bonds' 12,606 career plate appearances ended with either a home run or a walk.  From 2001-2004, this number was 39.5%.

And just for fun....since I havent posted a stat in a while.....here is my personal favorite Bonds homerun of all time:

Bonds hitting the scoreboard in SD that same year
