Unflappable Drayk The Loquacious Lord Grimm Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 While this may appear (and may truly be) out of character for me, the fact that I live in this particular little hellhole in South Jersey (and spending so much quality time with my in-laws) requires me to point out that Philly is back in the World Series, and, at the time of this post, leading. Discuss. _________________________ The Silent Assassin is currently in NYC for some sort of fancy to-do over music. Priorities, dude, what the hell?

Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Baseball is the biggest snooze fest sport. It's okay to play, but watching . . . damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Boo Yankees. That's really all I have to say about this year's World Series. Everyone so badly wants the Yankees to return to their usual swollen-coffer domimance that I can't help but root against them, being a fan of the sport and all. I mourn for the Cardinals' early elimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 *crosses fingers for the yankees to win* I'm a met fan, but out of loyalty to the state, I'm rooting for the yankee's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, tennis is one of the few sports that I ever watch. I personally think tennis is a lot more intense than baseball. Figure skating for the win.

Unflappable Drayk Sleeping Dragon Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 <From Philadelphia. I'm not too into sports, though it's difficult to not get caught up in it when people are literally celebrating in the streets. The city was noticeably quieter tonight, however.

Introduce me to some of these people, because except for Yankee fans it seems like everyone hates the Yankees. Please don't tell me I'm wrong about this, because your envy is delicious to us.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Pardon me, by "everyone" I mean "the national media", which is largely oblivious to what actual fans of other teams might like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt JadeWolf Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Soccer is in my opinion the most boring sport, except for some short seconds per 100 minutes of play. Having never watched baseball, I don't have an opinion... but The Natural made it seem quite fun. Though I suppose players rarely die from running into the side of the pitch.

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've been told that having the Yuckees win will perhaps spur the Red Sox into serious post-season contention, rather than this current spate of ho-hum we deserve the post-season boringness. So, as a diehard, lifelong Red Sox fan, I am apparently better off to root for the Yucks over the Phils. Sorry. Just can't do it. That pitcher from game 1 is my new boyfriend after those two stellar (albeit nonchalant) fielding plays he made. Getting into his head, wasn't he just screaming "So, what's the big deal with these guys anyways? Let's play Little League ball!. (mostly this and that.)

Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Originally Posted By: ☭ All sports are boring to watch and fun to play. True. I've watched less and less NHL hockey since I started playing 2 times per week. Tennis doesn't belong with golf or bowling. They actually do something when they play tennis.

They started the year lame (literally), and ended it in much the same condition. The game where they finished up by lining into an unassisted triple play pretty much summed up their entire season. I recall at one point the figure stood at over $90 million in payroll on the disabled list. I can sympathize, as the Cards pretty much spent the year after winning the World Series in that position.

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Sadly, they held a World Series this year and only one of the teams which showed up, wanted to win. Pro-tip- Never throw strikes at Damon in the top of the ninth with 2 out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk The Loquacious Lord Grimm Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 More like, One team showed up wanting to win, the other thinks they deserve it by default. And never stick Lidge in without a ten-run lead. But oh well. Philly hasn't given up hope yet... which is to say, the fans haven't. Jeez... so many freaking t-shirts out while shopping today....
