January 11, 200620 yr ESPN screwed up all of their sports...They had the Eagles like 10th...meaning they havent been in my household the past 15 years with all of our misery.
January 11, 200620 yr How are we so low? We get our hearts ripped out every six years. but in our short history we have had 2 world series. not only that, but our run in 2003 was nothing short of magic and every sports frachise wishes they had a year like we did in 2003. Even though we get our hearts ripped out afterwords, we allways get the young talent to keep things exciting and pan out to another world championship. Teams like the Indians used to just overpay for dud players and never get anywhere, or have the yankees stop them, somthing the marlins never let them do . :mischief
January 11, 200620 yr As we detailed earlier with the Baseball Misery Index in the spring of 2004 This was done Spring Training 2004. We were the reigning world champions. That's why we're so low.

January 11, 200620 yr Hmm, must have been updated. In that case, Jim Caple sucks. It also means he isn't paying attention. On the football misery list, the Dolphins were 26th overall or something, despite the fact we haven't won a Super Bowl in 30 years, and haven't been to the playoffs in 5 years.
January 11, 200620 yr My favorite "we're just throwing numbers out there" moment is that the White Sox have a higher "recent despair" rating than the Braves, Red Sox and Yankees. You'd think the reigning World Champions would be at zero for recent despair.

Well, being a Dolphin fan, I can't complain too much. Depite what you said, how many losing seasons have the Dolphins suffered in those 30 years? Maybe five at the most?

Considering we haven't had back-to-back losing seasons since the late 60s, our misery rating should be relatively low.
