From Gene Wojciechowski on espn.com:
"This is the 103rd World Series. Only two teams have won successive championships by 4-0 sweeps: the Red Sox (2007, '04) and, before they began to self-destruct, the Yankees (1998-99)."
If i'm not mistaken, didn't the Reds sweep the Yankees in '76 and then sweep the A's in '90? Or am I missing something?
Yep, the Reds actually have a 9 game WS winning streak.
13 after 08
Can't believe an ESPN writer would actually forget to mention the Reds in the same sentence with the mighty Red Sox and Yankees. End sarcasm.
what a let down, is it to much to hope for an actual competitive series next year?
This is why I only watch ESPN live games, not sportscenter or other information. They are pathetic.
I actually emailed him and said I know the baseball world revolves around the Red Sox and Yankees but the Reds did it too. No response from him. Shocking!Originally Posted by maniem
Hilarious... I have emailed ESPN as well about their vast bias towards DA YANKS AND DA SOX and got no response. I hate it when they spend 15 minutes talking about those two games on Baseball Tonight and then never get to the Reds highlights... I just stick to the 'net for my info now...
