Round 4: Sports Championships

San Diego: ???
Massachusetts: 2 world series championships in the past 5 years, 1 NBA championship last year, potential stanley cup this year, and 3 Lombardis in the past 8 years.

Winner: Mass. (can you imagine ever cheering for the Padres or Chargers? Unless they bring back T. Gwynn and R. Alomar or eliminate LT and all his supporters, I don't think so.)
