I miss the days when sportscenter was about highlights and was watchable. Seems like so long ago…

Would you rather lose three straight WS’s or not be in the WS for three years? Easy choice for about 90% of us. And it is hard to leave the Rangers out of any discussion because they are just so damned deep in talent.

Beltre would have been a great fit in Boston.

Oh, wait…

Hmm.. anyone think this is coincidence that they called up Mike Olt around the time that Beltre flipped the switch? Amazing what a little competition can do.

The first line of this post reminded me of Kenny Maine on the old (good) version of Sportscenter.

“and last night Adrian Beltre hit his 30th homerun. Of the season, not of the game… that would be a record”

No matter how dumb, it always made me laugh.
I miss those days.

Adrian has got to be one of the more under-appreciated players out there. I think he’s building a solid case for serious HOF consideration. Another 2-3 good years and by all that is reasonable he should waltz in.

Well, a quick search reveals that the Tigers lost three straight from 1907-1909 and the NY Giants lost from 1911-1913.

That I will finish my comments. Oy.

Or that some other team won’t catch fire in the playoffs. But I would not be at all surprised to see the Rangers in the series again. Begging the question of whether any team has been in three straight series and lost all three.

I would daresay that the Rangers look to be the hot team (again). No guarantee, of course, that
