MattZakrowski Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) That's a little hyperbolic. They came up short in the 2995 and 1997 World Series games, but took them to 6 and 7 games, and only lost in 1997 to the Marlins in extras. Four consecutive division championships from 1995-1998 is hardly not winning anything, though sure they have no hardware to show for all of that. I totally hated the that era's Indians teams, and for years I blamed the strike on derailing our momentum and letting the Tribe dominate he division all those years.

It's true, but that is as close as a team is going to come in baseball from not winning it. The Cavs reached the finals a couple of years ago too. They've been there, they just haven't won. I think it's like the longest streak in the nation for major sports franchises because Seattle hasn't had teams around for long enough to top it.

Jenksismyhero Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) I was 12 during the '94 season, in the midst of little league (dominating as a pitcher I might add, "Wild Thing" was my nickname), and was absolutely devastated by the strike. I swore off baseball (the money grubbin' s.o.b.'s) until 1999. Then I was smacked in the face again by that awful sweep in 2000. Five years later I watched every single minute of the 2005 season (in a given year I'll probably watch 120-130 games, but for some reason I didn't miss a single game that year). So, what does this tell us? That this franchise runs in cycles of roughly 5 years. So, 2010 is our year. Book it.
