World Series live thread (game five)

[fhayek]

It is now a best of three. Play ball!

[yellowdoghunter]

Checking in....GO ROYALS!!!

[fhayek]

I used to play catch with my dad. He had an Earl Torgeson model first basemen’s glove, which, I think, I lost. At the time it meant nothing. Now, it means everything. I wish I had that glove. Play ball, America, and hug your kids.

Going back to Kauffman Stadium!

No more Gay Bay after tonight!

[Starstruck]

Get our slingshots ready for the Giants

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep, since they split the first four games, it comes down to a 2 out of 3 series.

[abigkahuna]

Yup, go back to that dull, drab, cookie cutter of a stadium...with the Giants 3-2...

[freedumb2003]

Why in the world would anyone play baseball when perfectly good NFL is being played?

(N.B. Mad Magazine once in jest suggested this may happen...)

[yellowdoghunter]

I can’t wait to get back to Kauffman.

If the Giants do win the Series, I can only imagine the “Parade”......ugh!!!

Just like 2002....with the same result...

[abigkahuna]

We was robbed I tell ya, we was robbed! Currently 1-0 Giants

[rottndog]

Denying melon head a WS ring was almost as delicious as winning it all....

[Charles Henrickson]

Wow! This is the first I heard of it. Just double-checked on mlb.com, and the story is true. This will be big news here in St. Louis.

[jttpwalsh]

Life is so fragile. May he play on The Lord’s team, now . . .

[WyCoKsRepublican]

Great to be an American and good to live in the land of the Royals. The boys in blue got spanked pretty bad last night but the upside is the last two games will be in KC.

[Charles Henrickson]

I remember when I was a kid, about nine years old, the Cubs had a slick-fielding young second baseman named Kenny Hubbs. He was one of my favorite players. Then early in his career, he was killed in a small plane crash. I was very sad.

[jttpwalsh]

Sounds like we are from a similar era, I was six, when Hubbs died. Leaves a difficult vacancy on your team, that’s for sure. I grew up, cheering for the Mets (still do), but I remember how hard it hit all of my pals, when Thurman Munson died, in similar circumstances.

[CARDINALRULES]

Reading some of the comments on some of the sports sites reminds me how much fans of other teams can be such d-bags. Most are not but the few just have to be trolls.

You don't need to imagine - the Giants won the Series in 2010 and in 2012. The parades were great - hundreds of thousands turned out, including lots of kids and toddlers, there were tons of confetti, George Schultz and Willie Mays (the greatest baseball player who ever lived) were in attendance, Tony Bennett sang "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" and a good time was had by all, except for a few drunks who got arrested.

I'm looking forward to another, though the fact that the Series will go back to KC will put the odds against the Giants, even if they go there up 3-2. The Royals are no joke, and they deserve to be in this series, as do the Giants.
