Very difficult to pull an Upset over the course of a 7 game series, especially in baseball. The Tigers had the better starting pitching over the course of the year, but they had a fatal flaw starting in that area beyond the outfield wall. For most of the year they didn't concern themselves because of their offense and Kudos to the Red Sox hitters who ran up pitch counts, traded notes in order to get better looks the 2nd and 3rd time through the order to get to the fatally flawed bullpen. Yes Cabrera got hurt, but what was Martinez's excuse? Granderson's? Fielder's? The Red Sox starters matched the Tigers CY Young award winners virtually pitch for pitch and in the end the better all around team won the series.
I was about to "Like" this post...then I read the final line.
My tenure as well. Still haven't gotten back into hockey after the Whalers move. Your list is my list minus BU. I'll have to throw in the women's bb championships and Bucknell taking down Kansas. Worse thing during this period was the Hurricanes winning it all.
Apparently you don't need champagne to say stupid things.
You're not much of a baseball follower so i forgive you. Let this box of rocks teach you something. If any sport looks at history, its baseball. Baseball is americas past time, its first sport. Traditions, superstitions, records, stats, pennants, and championships are more relevant to baseball than any other sport. So unless you can explain to me mathematically how 27 is < 8 then please stop. Eh, then again you aren't a baseball connoisseur, so i forgive you.
