It’s easy to hate them, as they do have all those championships. But they won ‘em fair and square.

they'll do it as one of the most polarizing teams in sports.

That sounds like obummer.

Puuulllleeezzeee...

Hate them all you want but lets stick to reality here. They are the winingest (not a real word I know) team in all of professional sports history. All sports.

So whatever else they may be, they most decidedly do not “suck”.

When I saw ESU in the headline, my first thought was that it stood for Enormous State University (in the Tank McNamara comic strip).

They have the most championships for professional sports. They are NOT, repeat NOT, the "winningest" team in all of professional sports history. That distinction would belong to the New Zeland All Blacks (Rugby). And lest you forget, the Canadiens are on Lord Stanley's Cup 24 times.

And you call yourself a nuke? Oh, and when ya'll can win more than one a decade, call me. Seems that the Sox are up on you of late. And now you're tied with my Angels.

In an era when there were 12 teams, not 30. Not really fair. In the last 30 years, they've won 4, two of those against the choking Braves, and another against a hopelessly outmatched San Diego team.
