~*~*~ Official World Series Off Day 1 Thead ~*~*~

[charlie and algernon]

Discuss the first of two scheduled off days during the World Series.

[flvegan]

1. That looks like Yankee Stadium did the first half of the season, attendance wise..

[taterguy]

2. If I wasn't so busy not watching baseball I'd start my own damn World Series Day off thread

[KamaAina]

3. This Series continues to be defined by pitching

neither team has so much as gotten a runner on base so far today. :-)

[charlie and algernon]

4. i know, right?

so far both pitchers are working you know whats! I don't want to say or else I'll jinx the perfectos. oops!

[KamaAina]

5. I just hope Brian Gorman isn't working behind the plate

a bogus walk would be a mathematical certainty. :eyes:

[charlie and algernon]

6. as long as it doesn't come after the 26th out

that would be a real kick in the teeth

7. One day closer to

NOVEMBER! How can they play baseball, in North America, in November? :mad:
Season should be cut back to 154 games and the playoffs should be best or 3, best of 5 and then the Series.............. (rant off :))

[charlie and algernon]

8. yes! starting GAME 3 on HALLOWEEN is insane!

Game 7 should be on Halloween, NOT game 3.

Baseball would be perfectly fine if the season was cut to 150 games, so teams finish with 85 wins, not 95. there are bigger tragedies, lol.

9. The World Series is still going on? I thought that was over a couple of weeks ago.

:wtf:

Thank$ to Bud $elig and George $teinbrenner.

[charlie and algernon]

10. well it's not going on today

it's a day off. two days before November. :eyes:

13. World Series went past November in 2001

and baseball survived. I don't understand why this is such a big deal. :shrug:

[charlie and algernon]

15. There was a valid excuse, sports took a week off

It's the OCTOBER classic, no reason game 4 should be in november.

[JonLP24]

19. The excuses wasn't the issue

Baseball being played in the first week of November as opposed to last week of October is not that big of difference. It's no big deal.

11. Yes, great pitching on both sides - really tense games. I'm never very interested

in baseball unless the teams are well matched.
These teams are very well matched.

Little things may make all the difference-Phils have won 11 of the last 12 post season home games.

12. God the umpires fucked up again last night! I'm getting sick of this shit!

:grr:

[AsahinaKimi]

14. Sigh....No baseball today...

Well theres always hockey or basketball I guess.

[charlie and algernon]

16. Early season hockey and basketball just isn't the same

Give me playoff baseball anyday.

[AsahinaKimi]

17. I know ..but the game isn't on until Saturday..

Unless... Championship bowling! ...



um no aaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccckkkkk.

[charlie and algernon]

18. Oh now there's excitement

Definitely one of those "sports" that are more fun to play than watch lol!
