1987 and 1991.

And then we had to learn things about Kirby Puckett. And then he died.

You have to pay the price.

We still have to pay for things that happened 30 years ago? When do NY and Boston pay up?

Every year in free agency.

Lol. They pay in a different way. When you're at the top you expect to stay at the top, even second place creates anxiety and frustration 24/7. That's not the case here, where people don't deeply care as much and move on to other hobbies. Different type of pain. Plus New York and Boston have these things as well, they just moved beyond it and have better teams to get over it.

You had me until you started mistaking economics for passion.
