Celtics: The Boston Sweep Is Still Very Much Alive

[Boston Pancake]

Leg 1: Red Sox Completed

Leg 2: Patriots Completed

Leg 3: Bruins One win away from ECF

Leg 4: Celtics Three wins away from ECF

Lookit sticks, I know what it’s like to fahkin lose. To feel so desperately that you’re wicked right, yet to fail nonetheless. Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. Or should I say, The Boston Sweep has.

What's to laugh about? America only cares about two sports like it's a religion; Baseball and Football.

Guess who won those respective championships most recently?

Has a city (or state) ever swept the four sports in one year though?

Damn fine sport, as well. Kind of an inversion of baseball, where a batter faces a lineup of pitchers or "bowlers," and where getting the batter out is the big event rather than scoring runs. I think the limited overs version of it is flawed though. Real cricket is Test, but that requires an investment of 8 hours per day over 5 days to watch a full match . Cricket needs a short format (where a match ends in 3-4 hours) that isn't a gimmick. T20 feels like a home run derby.

Well yeah

Real sports don't need to use minigames as tiebreakers. Real sports played by real sportsmen keep playing the proper game until a winner is decided.

It doesn't matter what you think the batter vs. pitcher matchup resembles (and it's not a glorified penalty shootout. Probably one of your dumbest Philo-level opinions). A "minigame" in this context is described as something unrelated to the core game design in order to determine a winner. Penalty shots in regulation soccer are earned by drawing a penalty in the box. Nothing is earned in a shootout, and it barely resembles the main game of soccer. No dribbling, passing, defense other than a goalie guessing right or left or center. It's a lazy and unimaginative way to break a tie. Just play on or design your sport better so that players can play on (the argument goes soccer players would "die" if they had to play beyond 120 minutes).
