When was the last time your favourite MLB team won the World Series?

[madinmaryland]

I think everyone here knows that for me it was 1979. Two wins in the 70's against the O's!!

:rofl:

[TZ]

1. 1991- I was a Reds fan

Still have a sweatshirt with the winning headline on it from the Cincinnati Enquirer (my Dad was dating a reporter from there at the time

[madinmaryland]

2. What's funny, is that I have always been a fan of a team

that is hated where I am living.

Imagine the fun DU would have with Marge Schott. :scared:

[TZ]

4. I was so glad to see her go.

God she was awful.

[cboy4]

8. Flip-flopper!!!!

[TZ]

9. Umm I'm from Cincinnati originally

My dad still lives there and I grew up going to Reds games. Still been to more Reds games than any other team at this point. And there was NO Washington team at the time..so it was not a flip flop.

[CreekDog]

46. My grandfather said he used to see Pete Rose and Mike Schmidt

...at the track! :rofl:

(back when he was living in NJ and they were Phillies)

[madinmaryland]

14. Maybe the fact she hates CHEATERS is why she is not a Reds fan.

[cboy4]

29. Yea, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact Cincinnati

SUCKS

[TZ]

31. umm

You see what my avatar is right? I'm not a fairweather fan...:rofl:

I still have a fondness for the Reds (from my dad) as bad as they are.

[madinmaryland]

38. Well, I see that cboy/upton's pride does not understand what you are saying.

:shrug:

[cboy4]

53. Are you running out of ammo mocking my pride avatar?

I see you made it to the front of the sports forum line.

[CreekDog]

45. Well that sucks

because my 2nd fave team is:

[rsdsharp]

83. I thought you were a Twins fan.

The Twinkies won it in 1991. The Reds swept the As in 1990.

[madinmaryland]

84. Heh Heh! According to the cboynupton rule, she would be a Twins fan.

Actually she's a Washington Reagan Nationals fan.

[Upton]

85. And according to the madinmaryland rule, she should check the standings first

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

86. Hi, cboy! What's up?

[MrSlayer]

3. 2008.

[Auggie]

5. 1948...

:eyes:

[Upton]

6. The Pirates are yearly one of the worst teams in MLB

who cares what happened back in the '70s?

[MrPerson]

51. I care.

/Luke Skywalker.

[CreekDog]

7. The San Francisco Giants have never won the Series

although they always lose in rather memorable fashion. :rofl:

[cboy4]

10. Actually the Giants have five rings, the most wins in MLB history, and the

most players in the hall of fame

How has your team done?

[madinmaryland]

13. So then according to your logic upton, a franchise with a 5-2 record in the WS,

is much better than a franchise with a 5-17 record in the WS.

[SteelPenguin]

77. Good one

isn't it funny how he twists the criteria to fit what he wants?

[madinmaryland]

78. Well, logic defies cboynupton!

[CreekDog]

18. Ugh.

:banghead: :rofl:

[cboy4]

11. Actually the Giants have five rings, the most wins in MLB history, and the

most players in the hall of fame

How has your team done?

[CreekDog]

17. I'm talking about the "San Francisco" Giants

I realize it's the same franchise, but as a San Francisco team they've not won the Series.

[cboy4]

21. Way to move the goal posts.....The question was favorite MLB

team.

And my team is the five-time World Series Champion Giants.

How many rings does your team have?

*****crickets*****

[madinmaryland]

23. Heh heh. As Boomer would say, THE New York BASEBALL Giants!

:rofl:

5-17 no less!!

[CreekDog]

32. I'm a long suffering Giants fan, give me a break

:rofl:

I have a right to complain! :rant: :rofl:

[cboy4]

54. Is that why you posted a ROFL when you discussed the

Giants blowing championships?

I don't know a single so-called long suffering Giants fan who thinks it's humorous.

You should just root for the A's.

[CreekDog]

56. A's fans get more excited about the dot races than the actual game

:eyes:

What I thought was funny was you guys kept asking me how MY team did, as if it were some other team.

:rofl:

[cboy4]

57. Nice try. Your initial ROFL was included in your post about

the Giants blowing chances to win a World Series in San Francisco.

I agree about what you say about A's fans, but you just don't seem like you've suffered with the Giants like the rest of us have.

Too many of these----------------> :rofl:

[CreekDog]

34. THEY ARE MY FAVORITE MLB TEAM!

Sheesh. That's why I'm complaining. We are talking almost a Cubs-like drought here.

[Upton]

36. Yeah sure..

the Cubs haven't won a WS in 101 years...they haven't even been in one since 1945. Sounds like you're just looking to find fault with the Giants....

[CreekDog]

39. I didn't say that they were the worst team, just incredibly frustrating

and what kind of Giants fan doesn't find fault with them?

[Upton]

41. Whatever

but comparing them to the Cubs is over the top....not the kind of thing I would expect from a knowledgeable true Giants fan

[CreekDog]

43. .

[madinmaryland]

44. Stop it cboy! I damn near coughed a hairball up!

:spray:

[TZ]

24. .

Welcome to the Sports forum..where logic is scarce! I think its hilarious that you are getting bashed for being a SAN FRANCISCO Giants fan...:rofl:
:hi:

[Upton]

25. There are true fans and there are fair weather fans

the Giants like any team have their share of the latter.

[TZ]

26. Yeah. sure.

You really think any Cleveland Browns fans are Baltimore Ravens fans? I have no problem with someone in a city wanting only to be a fan of the franchise while its been there.

[Upton]

28. I mean it like this..

Fair weather fan: a fan of a sports team who only shows support when the team is doing well.

[CreekDog]

33. i don't think they realize i'm a Giants fan

:eyes:

i'm getting grief because i'm not counting all the glory years the franchise had in New York. :banghead: :rofl:

[Upton]

35. You don't sound like a Giants fan

to me. True fans support their team at all times, not just when things are going well.

[CreekDog]

37. and you don't sound like Dean Martin

:wtf:

[madinmaryland]

40. I still confuse which sockpuppet cboy/upton is using. So don't worry!

[Upton]

42. Yeah don't worry.. Pacman has got things under control

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

48. Thanks, cboy. You seem to take a lot of "pride" in pacman.

[cboy4]

47. I know, and he thinks it's hysterical that they lost to Anaheim

in 2002.

Yea, he's a big Giants fan.

Not. :eyes:

[Upton]

52. Yeah, you can spot that kind a mile away

fair weather all the way...he probably doesn't even follow the Giants unless they make it to the playoffs. Either that or he's a stealth Dodger fan just trying to give us some grief.

[madinmaryland]

12. Technically, that is incorrect. cboy/upton would be happy to point out

that the Giants (New York at that time) won the world series in 1954. I'm sure he remembers "The Catch"

[Upton]

15. Technically that is incorrect

though the Mays effort is notable...this is The Catch..

[madinmaryland]

20. Wrong sport, cboy. BTW, riddle me this batman...

If a team has a 5-2 record in the WS vs. a team that has a 5-17 record in the WS who are you going to bash??

:shrug:

[CreekDog]

16. That's why I said the "SF" Giants

Obviously when they were in New York they were amazing.

In SF, not as much.

[Upton]

19. Giants would have won the series in 2002

if Baker had left Ortiz in. Might have won it '89 if there hadn't have been an earthquake. It's not as if they haven't been competitive.

[madinmaryland]

22. Coulda, woulda, shoulda!

:rofl:

[cboy4]

27. How sad are you that the Dinosaurs will once again roam

the earth far, far, far sooner than the Pirates will even make the playoffs?

Or finish above last place for that matter?

[cboy4]

55. *****CRICKETS*****

Ah, the truth hurts.

[madinmaryland]

67. Obviously more recent than 1954!

[Fearless]

30. 2007. Guess which.

[Iggo]

49. '88.

Kirk Gibson hit some kind of famous homerun, or something.

It's so long ago, my memory is a little sketchy.

[MrPerson]

50. WE are Fam-a-Lee.

[Gemini Cat]

58. 2005 was a very good year.

Before 2005, it was 1917 and 1906.
I wasn't around for those series.

[rep the dems]

59. Two thousand fucking eight.

[Onceuponalife]

60. 1988 for the Dodgers

1989 for the A's

It's been way too long but I'm a patient man.

btw, any speculation about how the midgets "might have beat" the A's in '89 but for the earthquake is so fucking hilarious I think I just ruptured my spleen laughing so hard.

[LSdemocrat]

61. 2006

Couldn't be happier.

[Angleae]

62. Never won, never even been.

Seattle Mariners.

[opiate69]

87. ditto that.. and it may be a while before they make it to the show..

I think so far I like the new GM, but it's quite obvious he's building for the long-term.. I dont expect much out of the Ms this year.

[ProfessorGAC]

63. 1908

Happy you brought this up, now? You've made me sad now.
GAC

[BOSSHOG]

64. FOUR MONTHS AGO

[Capt. America]

65. 1908 --My former favorite team until last year when I finally gave up on them after 25+ years

[Iggo]

70. Wow.

My Dodgers put the final nail in the coffin of your fandom.

Don't know whether to apologize or say "You're welcome."

:P

[RockaFowler]

66. 2003

I love the Marlins - even when they are bad, they are still fun to watch. Last year was one of the best years because they knocked the Mets out again - 2 years in a row baby!

[rep the dems]

71. As a die hard Phillies fan, the Marlins do have a special place in my

heart for those wins over the Mets. I'll never forget following the last game of the '07 season online and seeing the Fish put up 7 runs on Glavine in the first inning, and then actually seeing how it all unfolded! Too funny :rofl:

[SidDithers]

68. '93...

Jays won back to back in '92 and '93, but have been awful ever since. And '09 isn't looking any better.

Sid

[dbackjon]

69. 2001 - Arizona Diamondbacks!!

[ReliantJ]

72. Oakland Athletics

won it the year I was born, and have yet to return :(

[GOPisEvil]

73. 2006, then prior to that, 1982, then 1967, 1964, 1946...

St. Louis Cardinals baby. :)

2009 is NOT going to be our year though.

[Redbear]

74. My Astros have yet to win

but hope springs eternal.

0 for 43 but we keep trying

[PVnRT]

75. 2006, Cardinals

[MrCoffee]

76. That would be never. GO STROS!!!

[Broken_Hero]

79. Never, Mariners fan here, nt

[MaineDem]

80. For only the second time in my lifetime - 2007

The curse is gone.

[KamaAina]

81. "favourite"?

Wouldn't that work better coming from a fan of the



(last win 1993, and counting, eh?)

[madinmaryland]

82. It took 81 posts for someone to figure that out!

:rofl:

On edit: I'm not a Blue Jay fan, even though I'm sure cboynupton would think that I am.
