DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 And the Cubs' failures are tempered by the success of the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. Apples and oranges, really. The story here is that all of Philadelphia is terrible at everything.

TFoA Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The Cubs are worse. That's one team that hasn't won a damn thing since 1908. Those are 4 teams that haven't won a title since 1980. The Cubs are way worse.It's hard to feel bad for Philadelphia's fans having such a drought, but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capn89 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 And after garbage articles like this are written people still wonder why Philadelphia fans have a paranoia about everyone being out to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what they mean is no championship since the Nationals arrived and the area has been a 4-team city again meaning the Wizards, Redskins, Capitals, and Nationals being active at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 On the plus side, the Phantoms took home the Calder a few years back, so at least some of the Flyers have a championship of sorts.And let's be honest here, the Phillies have come a long way since the mid-90s. I mean, Mark Whiten was the cleanup man for a year. I'd give em a trophy just for this man, and his hair: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox in 2005.Yeah, but the way this slightly silly "math" works, you add up the number of seasons it's been since each of the four teams have won a title. That's where the "100 seasons" for Philadelphia comes from, as even though 1980 seems a long time ago it obviously hasn't been 100 years. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Don't try to have your fake math both ways, unless you're planning a career in politics.
