The World series baseball starts on Saturday with The St Louis Cardinal's taking on the Detriot Lions ,will anyone be watching?
I got realy into baseball a few years back when I was working nights and it was on Chanel 5 , I know it's a bit naff calling it the "world series " but what can you do.

yeh, they've never been too good at the old geography, the Yanks. Can't say i would go out my road to watch it. If there is one Yank sport i'd watch it's American Football (although don't get me started on the old football part and for that matter soccer and football

) Bloody yanks

Matt the Thrasher · 10-20-2006, 06:53 PM

I hate American "Football" and I hate the word "soccer" I've no idea what that is.

aisuru · 10-20-2006, 10:51 PM

'soccer' comes from 'Association Football'.

also, the WS includes teams from USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan and a couple of others.

me, i like the Chicago White Sox. used to watch baseball a few years back, when C5 started showing it.

Have to say i watched the superbowl last year and wityhout really knowing a great deal about american football i ended up really enjoying it. Baseball? just cant watch it. Like cricket for me to slow. Well i probobly hate cricket a bit more though.

aisuru · 10-20-2006, 11:27 PM

i can't usually watch a full game, as it tends to drag on a bit after a while. the problem ( as with most american sports ) is that it's too start/stop all the time.

my mate likes baseball

goldenHuddlestone · 10-21-2006, 12:07 PM

I'd agree its something I'd watch every now and then but not for an extended peios like a seaosn

theo kawala · 10-21-2006, 03:06 PM

Tigers...its the tigers mate.

Ill be watching, I like baseball fine, its an entertaining sport, alot of thinking involved. Its called the World Series becuase there are soem Canadian teams...go figure.

I hope the tigers will win they haven't won in so long...but neither have the Cards. Its a bit lilke the world cup...everyoen thought the final would be between Brazil ad Argentina and there it was Italy and France. I thought it would be Yanks and Mets for sure judging by the regular season, but thats what the playoffs are for...if the best team or mst likely team always won then we would stop having playoffs wouldn't we.

Matt the Thrasher · 10-23-2006, 02:58 PM

Sorry Detroit Tigers , the Lions are in the NFL a slip of the tongue as it were.
I'm backing the Cards as they are National league champions and the world series has been dominated by the American league in rececnt years , though unfortunately I cant watch it.
I take your point about a few Canadians but it hardly makes it a World Series.
Anyway there's no Canadian teams in the NFL but they still call the Superbowl winners "world champions".

Matt the Thrasher · 10-23-2006, 02:59 PM

After 2 games the series is tied 1-1 , the St Louis Cardinals have homefield advantage for the next 3 matches.

goldenHuddlestone · 10-23-2006, 05:02 PM

3-1 wasn't it

Yeah, Game 1 was 7-2 Cardinals, Game 2, 3-1 Tigers.

Matt the Thrasher · 10-25-2006, 02:44 PM

Game3,
Cardinals win 5-0 to take a 2-1 lead in the series, do chanel 5 still show it?

goldenHuddlestone · 10-26-2006, 12:37 AM

Yes but at like 2 in the morning

Matt the Thrasher · 10-27-2006, 03:37 PM

Game 4 Cardinals win 5-4 to take 3-1 lead in series they now need only 1 more win to become "world champions".

goldenHuddlestone · 10-27-2006, 06:44 PM

Who has the bigger suport

Matt the Thrasher · 10-27-2006, 07:21 PM

Don't realy know, I think St louis are the more successful but Detriot is a bigger city.

goldenHuddlestone · 10-27-2006, 10:15 PM

Who is the kinda Man U of baseball that everyone supports.

Matt the Thrasher · 10-28-2006, 11:20 AM

I guess that would be the Yankees.

goldenHuddlestone · 10-28-2006, 01:09 PM

Figures I guess

Matt the Thrasher · 10-28-2006, 02:49 PM

I'm not an expert on American sports but I do know the Dallas Cowboys are the Man Utd of the NFL they are known as "America's team".

Pretty much spot on. As you mention they were nicknamed "America's team" for having the largest amount of supporters in the NFL outside their own town. They are also super wealthy too. They got a francise worth over a billion dollars.

Matt the Thrasher · 10-28-2006, 03:31 PM

Almost forgot to mention the Cardinals won game 5 by 4-2 to take the series 4-1 and win their 10th world series.It's a big boost for the National league as the rival American league have been having things pretty much their own way in recent years.
