Of course it's all coincidence. Just having a little fun, my man. Don't you know the meme?

Dude, I've got you, bro. Baseball is a game of statistics, but some of them make no sense.

Definitely! I'll be leaving it up for a while.

Not only that, but check out this:

World Series winners since 2012:
2012: Giants
2013: Red Sox
2014: Giants
2015: Royals
2016: Cubs
2017: ???? (AL Winner)

Ever since 2012, there has been a WS pattern of the NL team winning one year and the AL team winning the following year.

As well, Game 7 World Series winners have predicted the president with 100% accuracy:

1912 New York, National League, Woodrow Wilson, Democrat
1924 Washington, American League, Calvin Coolidge, Republican
1940 Cincinnati, National League, Franklin D Roosevelt, Democrat
1952 New York, American League, Dwight Eisenhower, Republican
1956 New York, American League, Dwight Eisenhower, Republican
1960 Pittsburgh, National League, John F. Kennedy, Democrat
1964 St. Louis, National League, Lyndon B. Johnson, Democrat
1968 Detroit, American League, Richard N. Nixon, Republican
2016 Chicago, National League, Hillary Clinton, Democrat ???

You know what this means, don't you?

First of all, this is just total coincidence, but you would think that if that did predict the presidency, it would be the other way around, since the NL is the more conservative league and the Democratic Party is more liberal.

Per this. :P

Come all you Cub fans; so long have you been waiting.
Now no more collapsing, choking, or hating.
No more heartbreak; your losing is done.
After 108 years, the Cubbies have won.

All of you Sox fans, it's time to retire
That horrible joke about the Ottoman Empire.
All of you Cardinal fans can't give us hate
For last winning it all back in 1908.

After so long, we have grabbed by the throat
This wretched idea of a damned billy goat.
Now, the Curse of the Billy Goat is only folklore,
And the name of Steve Bartman shall be forgotten once more.

Harry and Ernie and Ronnie Santo,
And Steve Goodman too, because he aught to know,
Go put on your Cubs hat and shirt of striped pin,
Because Ben, Kris, and Tony have brought us a win.

I love it.

You know what this means, don't you?

So, the winner next year could be Toronto, Cleveland, Texas, Boston, or any other AL contender.

Or we could just forget patterns and bring the championship back to St. Louis

Or most likely, the Cubs will just repeat.

Or the Indians could come back and win like the Royals did after they lost to the Giants.

I'm just saying, it feels a lot more like 1907 than 1908.

Don't get cocky. The universe is malevolent and can still punish hubris. Cower under the stairs where the unfeeling stars can't see you.

Umm. Anyone else think of this when the results came in?

Right, sorry. Was off my crazy pills for a day or two when I said that. I was a little...unhinged.

Don't post in threads that have not had a new p ost in more than four weeks. There was already a 2017 MLB thread, right here.
