World Anti-Doping Agency: Russia Should be Banned from the 2016 Olympics
http://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/34765444
http://espn.go.com/olympics/trackand...field-athletes After a long investigation, WADA just released a shocking report today accusing the Russian Federation of running a huge state-sponsored doping scheme, including helping their athletes avoid detection in drug testing. They named 10 Russian athletes and coaches who should be banned for life, and given how corrupt Russia apparently is and the little amount of time remaining to the next olympic games, they also recommend that the IOC ban Russia from competing in Rio. (Not sure if the recommendation is just Russia's track and field team, or all of their athletes) The IOC is not obligated to agree to the recommendation, but there's pressure all over the world on the IOC to hammer Russia. |

No, what you actually said was that the Astros were a better team than the Royals. You said it after game 3 and then you admitted it again today. If you believe that's the case, then you also believe the best team doesn't always win in a playoff series (and therefore the best team doesn't always win the WS).

Racked up a 26-38 differential in the ALCS. (54-108 full season equivalent). As you might imagine, that was not the best ALCS since the 2001 Mariners. |

You had less belief in your own team than I did and you've admitted that the best team doesn't always win in a baseball playoff series. Considering that, I don't know whether it's more funny or pathetic that you continue to troll here on these points.

And just to refresh my memory didn't the Royals have the best record in the AL? They probably would have had the best record overall if they hadn't decided to take the last month off. |

Yes it does. It bore itself out over around 350 games over the past two seasons that you don't play games on paper, and that the best team always beats the best players - as we saw in the ALCS.

Toronto put up less resistance than the French army.

Alright, will someone tell this douche that the BJs were a really special team, so he can get on with his life?

I wasn't the one who brought up the Jays in this thread that had nothing to do with them (that was you and others), nor am I the one who trying to troll here pathetically like you are. The fact that I was more of a believer in your own team than you, though, really says it all.
