Something simple because I have to leave.

How many wins did the Seattle Mariners accrue during the 2001 season, including playoffs?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:15 am

I seem to recall they had 116 in the regular season, 3 to win the LDS, then lost the LCS 4-2... so that would make 121.

Incorrect. You're off by one, and I won't tell you which way.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:21 am

Let's go with 120 then, since they didn't win more than 116 regular-season games, and the LCS didn't go to 7 games (I think), so I'm almost certainly not over.

FiveThreeEight · Post by **FiveThreeEight** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:22 am

Correct. They lost the LCS to the NY Stankees 4-1.

Just to clarify, that was correct. Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupel lost to Chris Weinke in the 2000 Heisman balloting, but ended up beating him in the 2001 Orange Bowl.

New question:
What did Anna "McJuggsalot" Benson threaten to do if her husband Kris, then a member of the Mets, ever cheated on her?

Yeah, I know, kind of a bogue question, but I can't think up anything much better at the moment...

i believe she threatened to sleep with everyone on the team and pretty much anyone who was involved with the mets organization.

That is correct. And it would've made an entertaining youtube video.

lol are we sure that it didnt happen......

anyway more boxing....

name the middleweight who held the longest title defense streak before bernard hopkins 20 fight win streak.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:45 pm

Would that be Sugar Ray Leonard? I was also thinking Marvin Hagler but ill stick with Sugar Ray.

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:26 pm

sorry i didnt see it right away, but no sugar ray is not the answer.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:30 pm

Wasn't even Sugar Ray Robinson?

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:39 pm

nope....a lot of his best work was at welter...by the time he ended up at middleweight he was already getting up there...even though hes still considered a top 5 middleweight of all time, he never strung that many title defenses together.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:20 pm

This is going "back, back, back" :lol:

, but Jack Dempsey?

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:23 pm

im pretty sure id have to check his records again to verify but i believe thats not the person im looking for....

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 10:25 pm

Well, my knowledge of boxers in that weight back in history isnt too great, it'd be better if it was a present question...

Ill go with De la Hoya, just because he was in near every weight class...

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 11:58 pm

incorrect, while holding some belts, de la hoya only held a disputed form of the middleweight belt and did not defend it.

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 12:45 pm

hey sorry i forgot to give some hints here....the fighter im thinking of successfully defended the middleweight title 14 times hold wins over fighters like....

nino benvenuit, emilie griffith and rodrigo valdez

he was also in the 1970 fight of the year.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 7:34 pm

So did he hold the belts before or after they split into seperate categories? I believe it was late 60's to early 70's when they split the titles, though i have no idea who had it then...

to the best of my recollection, he did end up holding a few differnet belts, but was at the time the universally recognized middleweight champion.

Bumping this, still have no idea...
