Now that Philadelphia is off the list with the WS title, what is the leader for most hard-luck sports city? I always thought it was close between Buffalo, Cleveland and Philly, but I think Seattle has to be in the mix now too. Any others? (though you would have a pretty tough argument to make for any city that has a title since 1990).

I vote New Orleans, they almost lost their teams due to a hurricane. Have never known consistent success. Plus Tulane plays there. And the Saints will always be the Aints.

With all due respect, GO **** YOURSELF!xmadx

;) ;) ;)

My vote is for Cleveland, btw. They ain't won jack in a looooong time and most of the city has relocated to places with employment and/or good weather. Plus, much like Terry Francona is to the Phillies, Charlie Manuel is to Cleveland.

Cleveland. Not really close. Between the fumble, the drive, a lake that has caught on fire, up 3-1 v. Boston and a home game before losing in the ALCS a few years back, in 1997 2 outs away and they lose it, the lack of a title since the 40s even though they have teams in 3 of the 4 major sports.

Just a note, the Browns did win it all in 1964.

My bad. Still doesn't change my thought though but thanks for the correction.

Well I'll say this, if Philly does somehow blow this series, they move right to the top of the list.
