With Rangers eliminated from playoffs, MLB's streak of no repeat champions extends to 24 years

The last time Major League Baseball had a back-to-back champion was in 2000

Yes, we haven't seen a team win back-to-back World Series since the Yankees did so three straight years from 1998-2000. Not only is the longest MLB streak without a repeat champ, but it's the longest streak in major professional sports here in North America. Namely, the NFL, NBA and NHL have never experienced anything like this.

Arizona needs a Atlanta or New York sweep tomorrow. If they split Arizona is eliminated.

Feels dirty. I wonder what position player the Mets are pitching in game 2?

[azgreg]

The Mets are pitching Joey Lucchesi who has pitched in ONE game this year with an ERA of 10.38.

Night night Dbacks.

[Alieberman]

Mets are actively trying to lose... swinging at every pitch.... regardless if it is 10 feet outside of strikezone..... and only down 1 run...

[azgreg]

Good season Dbacks. See you next year.

[UAEebs86]

The Dbacks have no one to blame but themselves but the hurricane moving it to a doubleheader today instead of playing last week completely changed the dynamic of those two games.

Kind of like the 1998 UCLA-Miami game.


I know.

TOO SOON!
