MLB post-season

[kingsboi]

just like that, momentum shifts back in Chicago's favor....one more to go.

Cleveland rested Miller and saved Klueber for a potential game 7 and it was a brilliant decision. I've got Cleveland winning 5-3 tonight. #Windians #GoTribe

Of COURSE there's a rain delay!

Of COURSE there's a rain delay!

Concluding WS in early November is always more risk of bad weather. Even snow at some northern open air baseball parks possible so late in fall. Back in the day before so many playoff games when regular season 154 games not 162 WS all rapped up well before mid-October. I like expanded playoffs but think going back to 154 games makes a lot of sense. But MLB probably only thinks about loss of revenue whatever impact that might be.

Great game 7, great series between two never say die teams.

Don't bother me with your trifling facts... when I said "Of COURSE there's a rain delay!", I wasn't talking about the weather.

I thought it might last more than its 17 minutes. Oh well, here it is on a platter with Cubs leading now 8-6 going to bottom of 10th with Cleveland on the ropes.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

On behalf of my dad, thank you Chicago Cubs!

If I'm a Cleveland Indians fan, I'm blaming Lebron James:

God damn... it's been dusty in this mother****er all ****ing day...

The Cubs won the World Series and the Chicago fans didn't burn the city to the ground. Color me impressed...glad I grabbed my seat on the bandwagon BEFORE the finals.

 

[macadocious]

I can now live the rest of my life in peace. I have been a long time Cubs fan and this was the pinnacle of what sports could mean for me and my family. I enjoyed every single moment of this season.

So that Trout guy is pretty good. Five years in and he's got two MVP's and three 2nd place finishes.

Giants have had internal discussions about bringing back Pablo.

[pdxKingsFan]

Looks like the Sox have made quite a few moves yesterday that seem to indicate Pablo will be their starting 3B. He's looking real trim right now too.

It's a bit out of date, but this suggests there's a chance that a trimmer Pablo is a better Pablo:

 

[pdxKingsFan]

If he plays 10 games he'll be a better Pablo I know Sox got the money and can eat it, but if favorite team A is going to poach favorite team B's player, I prefer it to work out.

 

[VF21]

Yes, I'm watching the World Series. No, I usually don't watch baseball but this has the potential to make my weekend.

 

[kingsboi]

I saw a stat that whenever the Red Sox have reached the World Series, they've won it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[VF21]

They lost to the Mets in 1986. They lost to the Reds in the 70s... I didn't go back any further.

 

[VF21]

I keep forgetting how much I love to hear the anguish of LA fans - regardless of the sport involved.

 

[VF21]

And you hear chants of "Let's go Boston" sweeping through the ballpark. Yes, I am that shallow that I take joy from the mere sound.

 

[VF21]

Nine more outs until Dodger fan leaves with broken hearts again.

I am just a little concerned about this aspect of my sports fan personality. I don't remember always deriving this much enjoyment from the bitter taste of inevitable defeat on the faces of fans. Maybe it's more an LA thing...
