ANY VALUE IN SPORTS ?

In the first place, you didn't specify "the modern era," and in the second place, i have no reason to consider you an authority on what is or is not the "modern era."

Cricket is the only game you can play for 5 days, not have a winner and it will still be a great match.

The modern era is 1946-present. When the Cubs won in 1907/08, they didn't even allow negroes to play in the league. Got it?

Well, the Yankees have gone all the way many times. The Cubs have never made it.

In that case, you'll need to find me a team that's somewhere in the middle.

I think I'm more like the Montreal Canadians. Was doing great for quite a while there, but then I hit a long lasting dry spell. Only difference between me and them is that they're trying ;-)

How about the Cards then? They're kinda in the middle of everything.

Or a Senator. You never really know what they're up to.

Don't care much for politics, so I'll stick with the Cards :-D

What i get is that you made another idiotic remark, and that now you're trying to cover your ass. Nothing new here.

By the way, Jackie Robinson did not go up to the majors until 1947--so that's yet another idiotic remark on your part.

No, it was just an idiotic mistake by MLB. The modern era began after WWII was over and there were actually people to play and watch the games. MLB was way late allowing Robinson and other blacks into the league. If you wish, the modern era can begin in 1947. I don't care. But 1907 wasn't part of it.

Let's face it: the Cubs haven't won in a LONG time. They are the most Championship starved team in all of professional sports.

And no group is more aware of that than Cubs fans, regardless of squabbles over when the Modern era began.

If you catch Barry Bond's record breaking home run ball, there will be some value in that. Even the bums of Wrigley keep an extra "toss back" ball in their pocket just in case....

I think that America 'd be better off
if we all participated in weekly gunnery practice.

A tax credit shud be offered for doing that;
and extra 10% off for practicing with an H & K MP5
( the Rolls Royce of submachineguns ).

Criminals shud consider it an HONOR to be shot with an MP5.

i'm on board, if those with guns shoot each other out. there should be a 5 days long street war. only outside, those who do not want to partake, stay home. all the rest is free to shoot each other's brains out. that would do a lot of good to this country.

Well, u advocate a lot of unnecessary carnage & chaos.
There is no reason for us to co-operate with that.
You are not a good philosopher, Dag.
YOUR leadership is QUESTIONABLE.

I support a well armed citizenry,
for purposes of self defense from criminals and from government.

A well armed citizenry gives rise to a sense of personal independence,
rugged individualism, libertarianism, anti-socialism and keeping government on a short leash.

This restores the principles upon which America was founded.

David - Today Cal Ripken, Jr., was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He is from Aberdeen MD, and Ripken Stadium is literally 5 minutes from my house. Cal is a god around here.

In his induction speech today he quoted his father, Cal Sr., that "everything that happens in baseball happens in life, and everything that happens in life, happens in baseball."
You would be hard pressed to find any boys around here that haven't at some point played Little League or been to games at Ripken Stadium. It's a way of life. It gets kids out of the house, away from tv and video games and teaches them to get along with others - peers and adults.

That's all I have to say about that.

I don 't think much of seeing who can
