You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein

Good for them. No team should lose 20 straight.
3-13 is my prediction for them. Thank you Matt Millen. Thank you Bill Ford, Sr.

Yes! If the Cubs miracle can't happen, at least my second team can carry the water into the payoffs.
Why can’t the Cubs and Tigers do it in the same year?

If it can't be the Tigers, I'm OK with the Twins.
They play the game the right way. With respect.

If you asked me Friday,
I would’ve said the Twins would take the division by 3. After yesterday and today, it may come down to the final game. I still see a very slight edge in favor of Detroit.
Those 4 games at the Coma will be huge.

German Election results or proof that the Pirates are not only bad at baseball

But 34% and 23% for the big two parties is, for them, a real catastrophe
Merkel will stay in office with a CDU/CSU/FDP coalition. The Greens (GrĂĽne) would be the closest equivalent to Ralph Nader.
