kloogy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Good. Fawk him and that team. The dream ended. Time to go back to an empty stadium and chain smoking manager. Go burn the city down for the heck of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Curses in Baseball are the direct result of crimes against the sport. The White Sox sold out to bookies, the Red Sox sold the greatest player ever for a Broadway production, and now the Tigers used illegal substances.

Sharrow Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 So thats why only one team wins each year, not because its designed that way, its just that all of the others are cursed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 You gotta believe the Cardinals gave it something extra in them after the kenny rogers BS. Good. F Kenny Rogers and F Jim Leyland. I feel for mavrik and gob, I really do. They deserved to see their teams win. Once they get rid of that bum Rogers, they'll win one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uart Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 So thats why only one team wins each year, not because its designed that way, its just that all of the others are cursed! Dude. All of a sudden, a team that won 90-something games in the AL, and rocked through the Playoffs has a controversy over pine-tar and then sucks. Dude, the Tar cursed them. That was the turning point. All those errors, the sloppiness, whatever, they were distracted. That's how the Cubbies' curse works too, Bartman catches the ball, and everyone gets distracted and its all over. Maybe its not really a curse. We'll see. If they're back with a vengeance next year, then I guess they just got pwn3d. Still, I HIGHLY suggest not messing with the Baseball-Gods in October.

Curses are a crutch fans alone like to use to explain away failures. But it is in human nature to forget all the times small events (such as the Bartman ball, etc) did NOT result in a game, series, or season being ruined, which far outnumber the times they do. Time to join in on the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Maybe there are things like Karma in baseball. Like when the Yankees called game 2 due to rain when it wasn't raining, to avoid having their weak starting pitcher pulled early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsMan57 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 The Tigers choked big time, since they are relatively a young team you cant get on them for it too much, but the pressure got to them in the WS. All of those errors were ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fired up at the time and should have said that the rainout would have pulled their good pitcher, exposing a soft bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
