So when did you stop watching the World Series?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

For me it was after game 2. I bet the Red Sox will win the next 4 or 5 series.

[Connonym]

1. 1985 maybe? after the strike

[Richardo]

13. I think that was it for me, too.

I won't really be interested in the Series again unless the Pirates are playing, so that's a big 'never'.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Top of the 8th, last night

I was sleepy :D

:hi:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. Yawn

zzzzzzzzzzzz

[Marrah_G]

4. After the boys stopped showering with champagne!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

9. Which boys were those

?

[Marrah_G]

19. The ones with the sexy red socks of course!

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Probably 20, 25 years ago.

Couldn't give a shit.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. I thought the World Series was very interesting this year

:hide:

For some strange reason, fans of the heavy favorite and eventual winner seemed angriest.

:evilgrin:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Yawn

zzzzzzzzz

[kwassa]

11. Well, there are some obsessed with minimizing Boston's achievement

Not that I would know anyone like that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Is that what they're calling it?

Hmmm. Interesting.

[kwassa]

23. Indeed, that is what They are calling it.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. Like I said before - Sox fans need to get used to it

It happens to any team that dominates

[Marrah_G]

27. Like pesky flies- always buzzing around

Just a nuisance that is best ignored.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

29. What about my congrats thread?

Is that pesky?

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. I see you've kept your word

not to communicate with me.

This way is much more straightforward!

:hi:

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. It's sad, but all in their (oops, Their) heads

If They read my statements that the Red Sox are the most dominating team in baseball as "minimizing achievements," that's really on Them. Maybe They like to feel like They are the scrappy underdogs, so if you say Their team is the heavy favorite They feel like you've insulted Them. I dunno. Seems weird and backwards to me, but whatever, right.

We're all enjoying ourselves, as I've been reminded many times! :-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. The Sox fans need to get used to it

Like we Yankee fans have

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. I'm not a Yankee fan

But that seems like a reasonable proposition...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. When you win a lot you become a target

plain and simple

[alcibiades_mystery]

Indeed

[DS1]

8. Game 3

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. No need to watch after that

eh?

[DS1]

20. I saw the 1-0 score online for game 4 and decided there was no point turning it on

[Fox Mulder]

16. After the '91 World Series.

When the Twins won.

They haven't been in it since then, so why should I care?

[Deep13]

18. 1995

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. You missed some good ones just after that

:D

[Deep13]

33. I did not see them, but I did not miss them either.

:-)

[Burma Jones]

21. at about 12:15 this morning

[Giant Robot]

22. When was the last time the Phillies were in it?

:shrug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. I'll have to google that

After a record 10,000 losses I would reckon it's been a spell

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. 1992

Joe carter home run. Mitch whatshisname as the goat.

Blue Jays win.

[Ekirh]

39. Actually Phils were in during 93

92 My Braves lost to the Blue Jays.

[alcibiades_mystery]

40. My bad

I knew it was some NL East cats what lost.

:-)

[HughBeaumont]

28. 1997.

For obvious reasons.

All that pitching and hitting. All star in every position.

I mean, how the shit could they not beat a goddamned four-year-old expansion team?

Because they're Cleveland, that's why.

Heartbreaking losses are what they do.

And the earth would cave in if God Forbid they won a championship in anything.

The last time our city won a title in ANYthing was 1964. Only two three-sport cities come closer (Seattle in 1979 and Philadelphia in 1983).

The last time the Indians won a Series is 1948.

If Cleveland ever goes back, they most likely won't be facing a well-paid hot stove team like the Rockies. They'll face an all-star-laden team, who they'll lose to.

Because that's just what Cleveland does.

Championships are meant for other cities. Not ours.

[redqueen]

34. What does one have to do in order for it to count as 'starting'

in the first place?

I'm just not a baseball fan, but I did check out the score a few times during the first game. After it got ridiculous I stopped checking, and haven't cared to check again since. So... dunno if I ever even started really.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. stick with the beautiful game

it's more rewarding

[Arkansas Granny]

36. About 30 years ago after my divorce from the total sports fan.

I used to tell him that they only time he remembered we had children was when they got between him and the television when he was watching a ball game.

[Jimbo S]

37. When games took 3.5+ hours to complete

and finish after midnight.

I'd say around the mid-90's.

[freestyle]

38. Top of the second inning in game 1. Not really a baseball fan

It was pretty clear the Sox were going to win the game and the series, so that was it.
