beat the teams in our division to make Antworten

CLEVELAND -- After going more than a half-century without one major pro title, Cleveland sure seemed an unlikely candidate to join the ranks of cities with two in the same year.Then LeBron James came back to town to lead the Cavaliers to the NBA championship, and the Indians made it to the World Series. The Indians led the Chicago Cubs 3-1 in the best-of-seven series before losing two games in a row, including 9-3 on Tuesday, but theyll get another chance to end their 68-year title drought in Game 7 on Wednesday night.Back in June, the city thats been teased and tormented by its beloved sports teams was celebrating the end of a 52-year title drought when James & Co. beat the Golden State Warriors in a Game 7. So the Indians are hoping to give Cleveland another reason to party.Here are cities that have celebrated two major pro sports titles in the same year, with snapshots of the most recent doubles:-Pittsburgh, 2009. Steelers and Penguins. The Steelers won their record sixth Super Bowl title and second in four seasons, 27-23 over the Arizona Cardinals. Ben Roethlisberger threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds left and James Harrison returned an interception 100 yards for a TD. The Penguins snared their third title by winning a seven-game Stanley Cup finals over the Detroit Red Wings. It was a rematch from the previous seasons finals won by Detroit. Pittsburghs Evgeni Malkin became the first Russian-born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player.-Boston, 2004. Patriots and Red Sox. The Red Sox ended a lengthy drought of their own with Bostons first World Series title since 1918, ending the Curse of the Bambino. A team that dropped the first three ALCS games to the New York Yankees before rallying swept the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 in the Series. New England won its second Super Bowl title in three years with a 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Quarterback Tom Brady won his second of three Super Bowl MVP honors.-Los Angeles, 2002. Lakers and Angels. Shaquille ONeal led the Lakers to their third straight NBA title and 14th overall. ONeal averaged 36 points and 12 rebounds in the Finals to earn MVP honors. It was Phil Jacksons ninth championship to match Red Auerbach for the most in league history. The Anaheim Angels went from a second-place AL West finish to their first World Series title with a seven-game win over San Francisco.-Los Angeles, 1988. Lakers and Dodgers. The Lakers won their last title of the Magic Johnson era, fulfilling coach Pat Rileys pledge the year before that were gonna repeat. Led by National League MVP Kirk Gibson and Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershiser, the underdog Dodgers beat the Oakland Athletics to win the World Series. A hobbled Gibson set the stage with his game-ending pinch-hit home run off Dennis Eckersley in the first game.Other twin title years:-New York, 1986. Giants and Mets. (Giants won Super Bowl in January 1987)-Pittsburgh, 1979. Steelers and Pirates. (Steelers won Super Bowl in January 1980)-Baltimore, 1970. Colts and Orioles. (Colts won Super Bowl in January 1971)-New York, 1956. Giants (NFL) and Yankees.-Detroit, 1952. Lions and Red Wings.-New York, 1938. Giants (NFL) and Yankees.-Detroit, 1935, Lions and Tigers. (Red Wings won title in April 1936)-New York, 1933. Rangers and Giants (MLB).-New York, 1928. Rangers and Yankees.-New York, 1927.

The parade and rally were held to celebrate the Saskatchewan Roughriders 45-23 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday in the CFLs championship game. OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens returned to practice Monday following a bye week in which the coaching staff studied the flaws and shortcomings of a team that went winless in October.Baltimore still has plenty of time to salvage the season, in part because its a member of the suddenly downtrodden AFC North. In spite of a four-game skid, the Ravens (3-4) remain in striking distance of first-place Pittsburgh (4-3).So, while coach John Harbaugh isnt necessarily preaching that this week represents a fresh start, hes quick to note that whats happened to this point doesnt matter much.We have to beat the teams in our division to make anything of (the season) anyway, so thats what were looking to do, he said.The Ravens remaining schedule includes two games against Pittsburgh, a pair against Cincinnati and a home matchup against the winless Browns on the heels of Sundays game against the visiting Steelers.We have nine games left. Were basically one game down in our division playing the team ahead of us right now, Harbaugh said. Our goal is certainly going to be to win the division. Thats in front of us. Its up to us.For the Ravens to turn things around, theyll have to get healthy and play better. Although Harbaugh would not get into specifics, he suggested that rookie left tackle Ronnie Stanley (foot) and right guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder) should be back after an extended absence.Harbaugh hopes that will provide some stability to an offensive line that has sttruggled to provide time for quarterback Joe Flacco and open holes for the spotty ground game.ddddddddddddRookie Alex Lewis took over for Stanley at left tackle and did as well as can be expected, given the shift from his more natural position of left guard.We have to get the run game going, Harbaugh said. Weve already got two young guys in there as it is. Im appreciative of what Alex was able to do at left tackle for those three games, four games. But its going to be better to have our full complement of guys in there, and it should help us really in every area, including the run game.If the Ravens are to make something happen this season, theres no time to waste. One of the benefits of the bye is that it came before a stretch in which Baltimore hosts Cleveland on Thursday following this Pittsburgh game.Im kind of excited about playing the two games in five days. Im looking forward to it, Harbaugh said. I think its a good time for us to do it. I just want to go out there and play well.I want to knock some of this disappointment off. This is something that you carry around with you. Its not what you want. Its not the goal. The goal is to win these games and have the kind of record that you think reflects how hard you worked. So yeah, Im very determined to do that right now.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
