The Romans had their games when it all began going downhill. The more it went downhill, the bigger the games.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

There were plenty of games and other celebrations durIng the Roman Republic too. There's no definitive correlation.

Not a fan of the Indians, they just destroyed the Tigers this year, but I got to tip my hat to them. The story seemed to be mostly all about the Cubs, while the Indians are just plowing right thru them. They had better finish tonight, winter's coming. biggrin

Rooting for Terry "Tito" Francona. 3 World Series titles will completely ensure enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. To have it happen against Lackey, one of the fools that got him fired, and at the expense of the Red Sox, who revealed personal and private information after he was let go, is just rewards. SWEET rewards.

Go Indians

Common complaint, but not necessarily valid. Things like the minor league exist for teams to grow into top tier organizations around the globe, and when someone in (for example) Japan wants to play in the highest form of professional league they'll join an MLB team for their chance at the world series. Just because there isn't a 100% Japanese team competing doesn't mean there aren't melting pot rosters wink

That's an excellent point. Heck, about half of the Miami Marlins roster isn't US born.

At least the Yankees didn't go to the playoffs so that's my sole consolation.

Boston has won 8 times but only 6 times as the Red Sox.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
