Does anyone agree that it...Off-troll topic here...<br /><br />Does anyone agree that it was more difficult to win a WS before there were playoffs? I think the opposite is true - it's much <i>more</i> difficult now. <br /><br />Pre divisional play, a team only needed to stay on top of the league - no small feat - but that was it, you were WS bound. Now after winning the most games, that team has to go through 2 more series, and no matter what the records, anything can (and does) happen.<br /><br />I actually think the NYY's 3 consecutive championships in the era of divisional play is more impressive than anything the franchise did in earlier eras that didn't have playoffs.<br /><br />And of course 2004 is the most impressive thing, ever. :)<br /><br />What do others think about this? Is this true<br /><br /><i>I for one realize winning the world series is one of the most difficult things to do, especially before 1969 when only 1 Team made the playoffs.</i><br /><br />Or is it the opposite?laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-90081333797423835962010-07-17T13:58:36.945-07:002010-07-17T13:58:36.945-07:00Ah, moderation, how we love ye.Ah, moderation, how we love ye.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-23247824817145335442010-07-17T13:58:19.231-07:002010-07-17T13:58:19.231-07:00Oo, clever!Oo, clever!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-10550429662740249302010-07-17T13:53:18.796-07:002010-07-17T13:53:18.796-07:00ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZnutballgazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953156266049373818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-64273944862625762142010-07-17T13:52:23.835-07:002010-07-17T13:52:23.835-07:00Lighten Up Red Sox Fans, I am having a little fun

Baseball history means nothing to them except who the World Series. <br /><br />No, not even that. Baseball history means nothing to them UNLESS the Yankees won the World Series that year.

(And the 1977 dugout altercation is even more vivid.)<br /><br />The Bunt Game was on a Monday night. I wonder if it was on Monday Night Baseball.<br /><br />The SI article is pretty good. And then in early August, it was <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1093936/index.htm" rel="nofollow">announced</a> that Martin will return as manager -- in 1980! He ended up returning early, in mid-June 1979.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-24513434226576801472010-07-17T11:37:28.785-07:002010-07-17T11:37:28.785-07:00Nothing out of the ordinary.
