World Series thread

Dodgers had climbed back to 5-4 before Eduardo Nuñez hit a 3-run homer off Alex Wood with two outs in the bottom of the 7th.

8-4 Red Sox!!! Damn good game!

[TitoFan]

Red Sox wrap it up and win Game 1. By popular demand, I'll be continuing the inning-by-innings in the rest of the Series.

Say what you want about baseball, the atmosphere of a big park feud is hard to match. Go Dodgers!

[Master]

What other countries have entered their team's in this world series.

[TitoFan]

Yeah, I know @Master ..... the name. But in this case it's just a case of a tradition being over 100 years old.

Besides.... everyone knows the best baseball players come from the Caribbean.



TBH, I have more a problem with the Little League World Series setup, where it's set up so that it will always be a U.S. team in the final versus a team from anywhere else. Talk about skewed.

What other countries have entered their team's in this world series.

Players from literally all over the world, teams from the US and Canada....the MLB is THE first and best baseball league in the world ergo World Series so stop being a whiny baby about it being called the World Series. Fucking hell.


It's like the Champions League in soccer, the winner of that is the best club in the world even though it is a competition among only European Clubs....the best PLAYERS in the world are there.

Stop being so aggressive I was just asking. In football Champions League is for Europe, they have an Intercontinental Cup which is the best teams in the world.

I know they had Japan in a baseball tournament but it could have been the Olympics. So as you can tell I have no clue what I am talking about in this area.

Go red socks who own Liverpool!

You were "just asking" a question many Brits love to bring up in some sort of attempt to say that the World Series shouldn't be called that....Baseball is America's Past Time, we invented the game, the players in the MLB are the best in...THE WORLD. It's like the NBA, the winners of the NBA finals are WORLD champions, the winners of the NFL Super Bowl are WORLD champions....nobody anywhere else would beat them FACT.

As for footy...#1 Do you NOT think the CL winners are the best club in the world? #2 The original Intercontinental Cup ran from 1960-1980 and was abolished in 2004 in favor of the FIFA Club World Cup.


Without looking it up, can you tell me #1 Who is the defending "World Champions" of that competition and #2 Has Liverpool ever participated in that competition?


I mean I ASSUME if we're talking WORLD champions, then it's got to be a far more prestigious trophy than the CL or anything else for a club team.

We met Terry kennedy once as kids and our coach asked him for advice for aspiring catchers. Coach said he looked over our way and suggested we protect home plate like our dinner plates . Padres are a great organization.
