Simple but funny little joke

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » October 21, 2004, 11:09 am

Four baseball fans - an Astros fan, a Cardinals fan, a Red Sox fan, and a Yankees fan - are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves his team more.

The Astros fan insists he is the most loyal. "This is for the Astros!" he yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain.

Not to be outdone, the Cardinals fan shouts, "This is for the Cardinals!" and throws himself off the mountain.

The Red Sox fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells, "This is for everyone!" and pushes the Yankees fan off.

How can one 3-0 lead be bigger than any other 3-0 lead?

Wasn't this one of the few comebacks at this point FROM 0-3 deficit?

edit: quick search on the frontpage of ESPN.com found:

Whatever day this is, it's probably not going to be very pleasant for Cashman. It won't be easy explaining to George Steinbrenner how the Yankees just became the first team in baseball history to blow a 3-0 lead in a postseason series -- and worse, to blow it to the Red Sox. Heck, it's difficult enough explaining it without having a maniacal owner yelling in your face and threatening that you'll never work in this business again.

Actually, I heard that in MLB no team that was down 3-0 had ever even forced a game 7, let alone won the series.

Umm Tenuvil they have to WIN the WORLD SERIES to break the curse, not qualify for it, if they go by record they will blow it in the series for the 5th time.

No one has ever forced a game 7 let alone won it.

Actually I heard there were a couple of other occurrances of it happening, but it was over the past 50 years or so, and neither of the others were in the majors. So its not exactly common.

I JUST WANT TO SAY. The curse that everyone talks about is not just in the playoffs it actually has to do with the world series so the surse is not over yet. for you dumb asses that think your baseball fans.

Only 2 had forced game 6... none forced game 7 so of course noone had ever won it. In Hockey 2 times has the same thing happened... but never in baseball

I normally hate to jump onto the bandwagon but that deserves an "ownt."
