World Series Live Thread

I know baseball doesn't occupy the same level of pre-eminence that it may have had fifty years ago, but it is the championship, and it still a great game. Royals up 3-0 in the sixth. Great defense all around.

Of course, if you are getting your information about the world series from this thread, you probably still have a rotary phone.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

First at bat in Professional Baseball. And it is in the World Series. What a strange sport.

The World Serious need to be played in the daytime in Sept so late afternoon games can be watched by kids down at the school gym where the gym teachers bring in a TV to show the game.

I would support a Constitutional Amendment for that idea.

It’s a beautiful sport. A chess match on the playground.

It’s too good for this insane asylum of a country.

Go Royals.

Well, there isn’t to much that is dumber, or faster than hockey, but I like it.

What boggles the mind is how a baseball team can make it to the World Series with only pitchers and catchers.

Great idea. Also shorten the season so the World series doesn’t go so late in October.

Next year the season schedule will be pushed back a week, so next years World Series will end in November. That’s too late in the year for baseball.

Hockey is not a dumb sport at all. It’s a magnificent game played at a frenetic pace. A ballet on ice ... and on steroids ... in a way.

Well he certainly played with him. My Grandmother used to brag that Willie said she made the best apple pie he ever tasted. Of course he probably said that about every apple pie. It was good pie though.

Since the players have gotten larger, the rink and goal size needs to be increased.

Baseball and Hockey can now get one through the whole year without considering any other professional sports.....
