Two more than the Skanks in the 21st Century.
Lone? lol...the Yanks' 26 World Series banners moved over to the new stadium as well. ...soon to be joined by another. How does it feel to get out to an 8 - 0 start in the season series only to end up 9 - 9 and 8 1/2 out? The Sawx won't even get past the Angels. ...but I'll be pulling for them to do it.
2 in the last 90-something years. ...and yet their fans are (amusingly) the most uppity around.
And I’ve already bookmarked this thread so when the curse of the A-Roid hits again I will laugh my ass off at all you loser Skank fans. LOL.
26 championships in the last century. Glad for you. I enjoy the history of the 20th Century myself.
lol...obession with your loser team and the team that's dominated them for over 90 years is your M.O., so I'd expect nothing less.
26 championships in the last century.
Yep, and 4 WS titles in the last 13 years. ...compared to the Sawx 2. Playing the numbers game is easy when one's team is by far the most successful in the history of pro sports.
