My bad then, I assumed that because you replied to my post, you were referring to the A's since that's the team I like

Again, please, enough of this "championships in the 30's" bullshit. We're in the new millenium. The only teams that can talk smack are the ones who've actually been successful lately. You might already know that I am a "what have you done for me lately" guy. What have your Reds done?

I don't care what you are. Those with high standards only care about number of World Championships in my mind. The facts say we have (5) and that most all teams have fewer than (5).
The situation is similar for my school's basketball team, the Kentucky Wildcats. We UK fans are only satisfied because we have (7) National Championships.

I'm only satisfied when I have my favorite meal and am with my favorite woman.
You UK fans are satisfied? When they don't win the tourney again this year half the fan base will be calling for Tubby's head again.
What does the fact that the Boston Braves won a WS in 1914 with their state today?

Baseball is a game of history; that's why
We are satisfied because the number of Championships. We won't be satisfied if we don't start winning them again though. Talking about calling for Tubby's head just further augments the point that we have lofty standards for the team and don't accept anything less than the best.

The same thing that any one of the Braves' recent divisional titles does. IT is all part of the past. What is the "magic" number of years that you go back to? The year where an agenda you have can be satisfied? I look at the overall picture.

Well, I know that WS wont help the Braves win now. Sadly, I wasn't able to see them win in 1914, although Woody Paige might have. Am I happy that they won? Yes, but I can't say it was a part of my experience as a Braves fan.

Well, I did see the last Reds' World Championship in '90. It was quite exciting. I'm sure Providence felt the same thing at the time.
Billy Bates. Joe Oliver. Dennis E. Game 2. I can appreciate what it's like to win a Championship just as much as Braves fans can for their one Championship won during their consecutive years streak of winning the division.

Well, I was lucky enough to see the Braves behind Johnie Smoltz pull it off in 1995, which was a very happy moment in my adolescent life.

Actually, I was 10 and I don't remember my Mom allowing me to stay up and watch the games as I didn't even have a TV in my room. My parents watched TV at night and I would be in bed before they were.
OK, can we steer back on topic? Does anyone think Maz will work his magic in Baltimore?

Well, I was in 1st grade I think, but I certainly did watch all of the games. I got to go to Game 2. I will always feel fortunate for that.
Why wouldn't they let you watch your team in the World Series? That reallyu sucks.
