Amazing to think the Astros lost over 100 games for 3 years , including going 51 and 111!
Basically drafted and added some veterans this season . Verlander a massive 11th hour trade.
Players hit for power now , and not much working the count. Nobody steals bases nowdays either .
There would be some happy folk in the Bay Area with the much hated Dodgers getting beaten
Everyone's favourite NL team... (between the Cubs, White Sox and Red Sox, those three clubs won in 1903, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1917 & 1918..... Nine from 16 at my rough count...
Then nothing for 86 years.
Then, between 2004 and 2016, they've suddenly won five from 13 between them....)
I like this stat of dormant, sleeping GIANT clubs suddenly awakening and DOMINATING comps!
Go Dogs!.... The dynasty HAS begun!...
(Pardon the Giants pun..!..)
We won premierships in 1898, 1899, 1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20 and 1923-24 (losing the two in between by less than a goal, could have been a sixpeat) that's 9 in 30 years. Then one in 89 years.
And now it begins again.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
