After the Cubs won, I figured it must be as real as professional wrestling.

There is no whining in baseball.

Is there a reason why people think about baseball during sex ?

You must be doing it wrong.

I'm not even sure If I'm making the proper sounds.

Too late.

Watching here. Long time National League fan (go Dodgers). Not a huge National's fan but would like to see them win it for all the diehard Expos faithful.
Back when I was a kid, all the games were in the afternoon and we'd rush home from SS to watch baseball. No scripture reading..F that.

Loved watching Greinke get ‘er done yesterday.

And every hit Zimmy gets makes me happy.

No dog in this one, just hoping for an epic game seven extra inning nail-biter. ⚾️

Seriously, the world needs more baseball.

I'm rooting for the Nationals. I haven't watched baseball in a long, long time. I'm rather amazed at how well the sound quality has improved when the ball hits the bat. I hear the loud "crack" and assume that it's a home run, but it's not.

Talking of world series there is a real one going on right now in Japan, the Rugby World Cup. England just defeated the All Blacks of New Zealand in one semi final while Wales will play South Africa tomorrow in the other. Would love to see England versus Wales but go, go England.

That is really cool!

It's a darn sight more entertaining too. But baseball vs cricket? In a cricket match, the grass moves quicker than the players do.

I think cricket is more a state of mind than just a game. That said, it does have nuances that are not obvious to the uninformed eye, much like baseball, I believe. Cricket does have a World Cup (world series) won by England this last summer, as does football (soccer) and Rugby and perhaps some other sports but the World Series for what is essentially a US event is a serious misnomer.

I'd watch that

I haven't watched since the Yankees and the Dodgers

a bunch of millionaires take turns trying to whack a ball with a big stick and then run around in circles?

Sounds like fun for them, I guess.

No, that's golf.

I'm sure that when EOD and Hie go golfing, the other players have to wear sunglasses lest they be blinded by the bling.

My old woolen plus-fours have lost their shine. But yeah, my pink golf shirts do bring out the sparkle in my eyes.

Did you know that jewelry, etc. was a big no-no in my career? Weird, but wonderful.

Golf is the one where a bunch of millionaires take turns whacking their own balls with their own sticks...and then all pile into a motorized cart to go see where all their respective balls ended up after all the whacking.

Sounds like a lot of fun for them...I guess.

I'm waiting for ElderOldDog to weigh in on this one. He just might get HieToKolob back on the board for a well-driven retort.

Fun fact: (Heads up Kentish, especially): The baseball championship is not called the "World Series" because it is global, but because it was first organized by the New York World newspaper.

Interesting that the "woke" Nationals lost their three home games.

I recently read that is believed to b e a myth. Either way, its time to have a real world series to include the likes of Cuba, Japan and Venezuela.

If those countries fielded their own teams, MLB would collapse.

Then all America could dominate would be the Little League World Championship.

Wait--

This is phenomenal:

Watch 50 years of World Series-clinching moments:

As long as grown men are serious about arguing when it is right to hit another man with a 98-mile-an-hour fastball, I will continue to believe in us as people.

GAME SEVEN!!!!

(Two favourite words of fans of sports.)

#1 Two teams rose from the Wild Card pool to face off in the Fall Classic, and
#2 Both teams lost all their home games

Being an American Leaguer, and feeling a smidgion of guilt for what the Red Sox have done over and over to the Astros in post-season play, I'm hoping that Houston has their moment of ultimate glory, which would nix #2, above.

Christ. Greinke is absolutely filthy after five.
