Absolutely true. And it _still_ manages to be just as boring.

Re: [Hornlist] Throwin' the high heat (NHR)
Hi Bob and Bryan, Being an old school baseball fan (who also used to love the Tigers greatly) would love to see the BoSox and the Cubbies hook up in the series. It would be great, except that one team would have to lose. I can relate to how you feel Bob about the BoSox, as for almost 50 years Detroit had to wait for another Stanley Cup Championship. When it finally came in 1997 it was so wonderful. Bob, as to the 03 Major League affiliate of the Toledo Mud Hens, (I like one of the local sports radio stations in Detroit refuse to call them the Tigers) won't get any better until the owner cans the entire scouting staff or sells the team. They have had such terrible drafts for the past twenty years! One of the few decent players they drafted was John Smoltz, as you know, they traded him in '87 for Doyle Alexander...it looked good at the time, but it really came back to bite em in the butt... A long suffering fan (but not as long suffering as a fan of the BoSox or Cubbies at least we won in '68 and '84) of the major league affiliate of the Toledo Mud Hens...They couldn't even set the modern day record for losing, so they messed that up!

RE: [Hornlist] Throwin' the high heat (NHR)
I think that everyone who knows baseball history would believe this to be unlikely, but I really hope (now that the A's are out) that the Red Sox and the Cubs make it to the Series. Both these teams deserve better than what they've gotten the past 80 years or so. And as good as Bob Gibson was, what I remember about World Series pitching in the 60's is mostly NY Yankee Mickie Mantle's comment to John Roseboro (Dodger catcher) in the '63 Series while facing Sandy Koufax...How does anyone hit this guy?, or words to that effect.
