kevinc855 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Just made the World Series for the first time since 1945. Shows you just wait long enough and your team just might make the big show again in your lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe the Jets can see if Jon Lester could be a Boomer Esiason for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwave81 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Well, some of us have seen the Jets with the SB.... But if I have a 'Cubs like' wait before the Jets win again, I'll be, well, 'not around' I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadFan Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It gives me hope that baseball will soon finally fall away from American consciousness. The Cubs winning a World Series would be the last compelling story for a mind-numbingly, boring sport. I haven't watched an inning in many years but I am happy for Cubs fans everywhere nonetheless.

Happy Clouds Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I was too young to appreciate our Super Bowl win. Highlight of my adult sports life was the Rangers winning the cup in '94. Any hockey fan that grew up in the New York area remembers those intense rivalries between the Islanders, Devils, and Rangers. Rangers for years disappointed their fans. Always came up short. Meanwhile, the Islanders are winning 4 cups. Chants of 1940 rang everywhere. Lots of needling from friends and relatives. Not easy being a Ranger fan. But when they finally won... What an unbelievable feeling. All the suffering seemed to make it even sweeter. Hang in there guys. Don't know when, but we'll get there. And it will be sweet!!

Or did you like the 2009 season when two teams played dead at the end of the season to let the Jets back into the playoffs? The 98 Jets were a damned good team, way better than the garbage of the last decade that squeaks it's way into a wildcard spot in a watered down NFL. It's not me that's sad, it's the pathetic Jets.

"Players come and go, the only way to a championship is top management doing their job well". Great teams dont pass over Russel Wilson in the 3rd and take Geno or Hack in the 2nd and the debacles mount up. Its not Geno's fault he sucks per se but our fault for anointing him.

Interestingly, the game is still a great game. I sat in a bar last night with and talked baseball to a bunch of fans from all over the country. Its had its problems but field of dreams, a league of their own, Major League, Bull Durham etc. Great movies are made of this great game. You may not like it but tens of millions of people still do.
