October 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 29, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) Lots of talk about the fans smoking weed in the crowd during the games. I guess San Fran would be the least surprising city for it to happen. Now that's an idea I can get behind 100%

October 31, 201015 yr That is the first World Series game won by a team in the state of Texas...they are now 1-6 in World Series action. Edited October 31, 201015 yr by witesoxfan
October 31, 201015 yr Question: Can you be a World Series "hero" if your team does not win the World Series?
October 31, 201015 yr Author Cliff Lee should be starting tonight and than ready for a game 7. This is the World Series, Ron. You resting him for next year when he may not even be on your team?

You resting him for next year when he may not even be on your team? Cliff Lee has never pitched on 3 days rest in his career. I'd have asked him if he was up for it...and if there was any hesitation or thought, he'd pitch in game 5.

October 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 31, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) Good as time as any for his first time, don't ya think? No, I really don't want to see how a pitcher performs on short rest when he hasn't done it in his entire career in the World Series. Some guys handle it really well, and others get the s*** knocked out of them. Washington would look really dumb if he started Lee in game 4, Lee bombs, and then you're down 3-1 with either CJ Wilson on 3 days rest or Tommy Hunter. Washington is making the right call here. If it gets to a game 7, you can use Lee out of the bullpen. Edited October 31, 201015 yr by witesoxfan

November 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) Hopefully Obama was taking notes on how to throw out a first pitch... I hope that President Obama doesn't take notes on ANYTHING dubya does. But that's just me. Let's go Giants.

November 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) Bar is keeping score. I caught that. I am constantly amazed at how few people know how to do that anymore. There are only a few of us on my softball team that can do it.
November 1, 201015 yr Things are looking bleak for the Rangers, I think if I had to choose between SP's for a single game I'd give them the advantage for 2 of the last 3 though.
November 1, 201015 yr This World Series is turning out to be SWEET! Well, as sweet as it could be without the White Sox that is. Let's go Giants.

Bad performance by Texas so far. Can the Rangers mount a historic comeback and win it? Those lousy NL teams are really playing bad in yet another WS.

November 1, 201015 yr Stat of the day: The Giants have scored 26 runs in the World Series. The Rangers have 26 hits in the World Series.
November 1, 201015 yr What I've realized really sucks about baseball is that the only way to determine who is truly the best team each year would be to have, like, best of 11 or best of 13 series for the playoffs (and honestly, that's probably not enough either, but it would be a better representation than a best of 7), and holy hell would that be drawn out and boring by the end. The ultimate goal at the end of the year is to win a World Series, but when so much of it depends on it you are hot at the right time or not and not the overall talent level on your team, it's ultimately hard to base whether a team is successful solely on them winning a World Series. That is why White Sox fans envy the Twins. People can suggest that the White Sox are better because they have a World Series trophy and the Twins do not - and it's true and it's still awesome - but a World Series title is perhaps the least meaningful championship in all of professional sports. The Twins are constantly in the playoffs, and as a result are constantly bringing in additional revenue to their franchise.
November 1, 201015 yr Would you rather have the team with the best regular season winning percentage win the championship outright ala soccer leagues in Europe rather than the playoffs? Not me. Me, I don't envy the Twins with their postseason failures...

Nothing they've done these last decade will top 2005.
November 1, 201015 yr Going with Giants and under 6.5 runs tonight...just a wild guess...but going to stick with the hot team...
