The Baseball World Series
Ok guys, since I resigned myself from work and decided that employment wasn't really a priority for me, I've made it my mission to accustomise myself with these American sports that people play in ... America.
Football...great. Basketball.... fantastic. Ice Hockey....OK. Nascar....apart from the fact that it's racing around a circle. Baseball.....the attraction is still really a little lost on me.
I'm not saying I don't enjoy it, it's a nice game and I'm sure it's fun on a sunny day, but what is with the obsession with it. I don't mind watching it on TV, especially when the Sox are making it fairly exciting by whupping ass so well, but how could anybody sit there for four or five hours watching this game?
And does anyone think that this series is going beyond 4 games? The Sox look utterly dominant.
Re: The Baseball World Series
yes its going 6 or 7 games, Rockies will win. I'm tired of the red sox. The rockies are on fire, they have won about 21 of their last 22 games. No the Sox are not dominant they got lucky to get to the world series again.

But they're 13-1 ahead in the first game, I meant that they were dominant in this one.

ooh crap i totally forgot about the first game, I haven't even seen it. are you serious 13-1???
I was afraid that the rockies of before the 21 wins of 22 would show up :(
Re: The Baseball World Series
As a Padre fan I don't give a fuck.
OK, I know nothing about Baseball but I choose by which city I like best. I actually like both Boston (where I have many friends from my Lotus days) and I also like Denver - one of the most exciting cities - outdoorwise - in the USA.
I don't care who wins. But whoever it is, they're the best team in the WORLD!!!
Possibly.

Re: The Baseball World Series
Red Sox nationnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
Game 1 in the bag.. we'll win this in Colorado at this rate.. F'IN RIGHT!!111 ;D
Re: The Baseball World Series
I didn't play the sport much growing up, and only watch the playoffs, but its a sport that takes a tremendous amount of skill and has some amazing subtlties and strategy. Hard to just sit down for the first time and pick up all of the nuances. I go to maybe one game a year and try to go with my buddy who pitched at a small college. I learn a tremendous amount everytime. But 160+ game regular season and 4-5 hour games can be a bit of a drag. Ofcourse thats why they serve beer! :beerchug:

yea having to suprisingly find out here did really bum me out, i didn't really expect to get the first game results here and at that time....
Re: The Baseball World Series
Sox in 5...6 if the rockies are lucky. You can pencil Beckett in for another win, then you just need Dice-K, Schilling, or Lester two get two wins. Money in the bank. The Rockies ain't scene nothing like Sox offense in full-playoff mode.

sorry, was a bit smashed last night after the game when posting..
but referring to the topic, i think it's easy for a lot of american guys to get into baseball is because we pretty much ALL played little league.. everyone plays baseball here when they were younger, so it's real easy to relate and appreciate how good these guys are.

yea when little league ends though, we get sent to football or basketball camps....
Re: The Baseball World Series
OK, it's world series match number two here tonight, and Schilling bowling pitching for the Red Sox. And he's got his first man out after Tavares got sent up the first stretch after getting clipped on the hand by a high pitch.
So, who's gonna take this one. I'm gonna be a Sox fan I think, mainly cause I saw my favourite author Stephen King in the crowd there last night, and that guy's taste is good enough for me. Come on Sox.

They're 1-0 up bottom of the fourth, much better pitching tonight keeping the sox under pressure, and not many hits at all tonight. My housemate is asleep on the couch next to me....so that explains a fair bit about this game.
