Worls Series. Your pick?
That should be World not Worls. I fat-fingered the keyboard.
Am I forgiven Sam, the S and D are mighty close to each other :tooth:
I think it is time for the Royals to win.

It's only true if it's on this forum where opinions are facts and facts are opinions

'GO THE KIWI'S'
Hey............Just wait a cotton picking minute!..........I cant see a Kiwi team listed :uhm:
How can you have a 'WORLD SERIES' with only one country entered. :nono:
Boy, talk about stacking the deck in the USA's favour..........:down:
Factually, I'd say they're about 55% on track for the win. That is, a tad better than a coin flip. SanFran is a good team, after all.
What's good about the Giants is that they aren't a snob team like the Yonkeez or similar. They've got class and play tough.
A good series, I'll pick Royals in 7.
What do you expect from a guy from Barcelona?
Yeah. It's been a while....
He is from the South Island, I seem to remember.
North Island Damnit!!!............and just because my home has a reference to 'North' in it, don't go calling me a 'Damn Yankee' neither........Gotta go cook me a mess of chitlins, collard greens and fried chickin for supper now.
FIFY

Sorry I got it wrong. Jeez, that North/South thing such a big deal there? Is there an imaginary Mason-Dixon line across the strait?
Well, considering that the players today were just babies during the strike, it's not too good to punish them for it.
Actually, we've got the makings of a tightly-fought, tough series with "old time" hit and run play by both teams. The games thus far have been pretty good even though the Royals got blown out in game 1. But game 2 was back and forth, great defensive work, good pitching vs good hitting, excellent tactics on both sides.
Its a sort of reverse 'Yankee/Southerner' thing...........Apology accepted btw
Thanks. I accept that as a compliment :tooth:
The only member here that is 'more Southern' than me is ojr............but he speaks with a 'Yankee' accent..........or so I believe :roll2:
:devil:
Tip goes to the Royals, now 2-1 in the series, and according to stats, teams at this point won the series about 2/3 of the time. So we shall see.
I'm very pleased with the excellent Fox Sports coverage. Joe Buck is probably the best baseball commentator working these days, and the whole team are sharp, giving us both insight into the tactics and strategy being used on almost a pitch-by-pitch basis, but lots of fun background info, too.
Camera work is amazing, best I've ever seen for any baseball game.
With luck, the Royals will give me a nice post-surgical present Tuesday or Wednesday night. But of course the Giants are a tough team, so we'll just have to wait.
Anyone else enjoying the games?
A blowout, I didn't expect. But I did expect the Giants to swing back and win, either Saturday or Sunday.
My prediction is that the Royals will turn the tide once more and win today (Sunday) and head to KC with a 3-2 record. But there's nothing to prevent the Giants from taking today's game, of course.
Two excellent teams, both with a "never give up" attitude. Adding to this is that, by now, each team's management and coaching has been able to scout the opponent's strengths and weaknesses and work to take advantage of specifics. Because not only are the players first rate, their coaching is tops, too.
I read that TV ratings are down for this series. Duh, of course they are, since no Chicago or NuuYawk team is playing. That doesn't matter. This is gonna be one of the best played series in recent years. both teams hard fighters and scrappy and ready to get it on.
Only giving up 2 runs shouldn't be a bad thing, but in this World Series? A blowout.
Oh, well, on to KC on Tuesday.

Too late, SF won the World Series last night. I wuz hoping KC would have won, a different team for a change.

Looked it up. Interesting game! Some of the images of players on the internet are funny! Adults and kids playing a game and having fun doing it. Just twixt you, me, and the lamp post, that game looks more fun than baseball. :tooth:

1- Giants are a terrific team, and outplayed the Royals just enough to win, which is how it's done. They're a bunch of tough players and not snobby so I'm not greatly disappointed. More power to 'em. They played tough, fair, and won. What else can ya say?
2- Royals at least made it to the world series and they should be right back in the mix next year. Those disappointed need to look at it this way: How many teams in all of MLB even make it to the big show? Two. If your team is among those, keen.
3- I took a Tylenol w. Codeine #3 (post-surgical prescription for residual pain), washed it down with an ensure, and went to bed, slept fine. Remember, when YOU have a bad day, your fave team doesn't get all sad and soggy.
4- That damn Giants pitcher Bumgarner is amazing! He came into the game and clamped down on the Royals totally. Maybe by next year the commentators will learn that his name isn't "Baumgartener"?
Overall, a great series, lotsa fun, good games, great play on both sides, terrific offense, defense, individual plays by superb and tough competitors. See ya next year!
I flipped back and forth to the game. Yep, SF pitcher is a good one fer sure.

Well, bis, my sentiments much the same as yours. The Giants aren't crybabies nor snobby players like Yankees or whatever. They play fair, strong, and smart, and win tough games. Same as the Royals.
Regarding ignoring pro sports, some folks just aren't spectator sports fans. Each to his own.
Myself, I pick and choose sports just like I do with other TV, movies, books, etc. If it pleases me to partake, fine. If it's a chore to watch, "click". In other words, I don't feel obligated to follow or be a fan of a particular team "just because" -- the team has to earn my support, just like a TV show or book or movie does, by quality.
Ruling out ALL pro sports (unless you're simply not a sports fan, which is fine), is silly. That's like refusing to read any more books because 20 years ago you read a bad book. Duh.
(and by "you" I mean the "group you" not you personally, bis)
Duh. Looks like I lost track of the 'off' day and missed the last game. Oh, well, I was trying to be interested enough to keep up, but I didn't get it done, this year. :yawn:
Maybe I'll try again some day. :tissue:
Baseball fans however did see a superbly pitched game by Bumgarner, who's normally a starter (he'd started 2 of the earlier games) but he came in as a long reliever and shut down the Royals. His high fastball is the best people have seen in decades, reminding them of Bob Feller. When you're got a terrific pitcher who's "on his game" it's Katie bar the door for the other team.
