Teams that win 4 games end up winning the World Series.

Can't believe I'm watching this shit, but notta fuckin thing on the tube.

Same boat here.

OT: I'm actually somewhat interested in that new "Hell on Wheels" show that'll be premiering on AMC shortly... and I don't watch much non-sports stuff.

What you think about the Ronnie Brown-to-Lions trade being vetoed?

Tahoe
10-19-2011, 08:22 PM
^ Never even heard bout it...the veto that is.

Tahoe

How comes? Injury?

Timone
10-19-2011, 08:24 PM
Yes, Harrison is injured or somethin'.

World Series fact: you only have to win 7 games to get there. In the NBA you have to win 12 games to get to the championship series.

WS FACT: I've decided I'm going to expect NOTHING from this World Series so that I might end up enjoying it a lil bit.

Timone

I have no horse in this race, even though the hosses did kick our asses.

Sometimes it's nice to watch a game without having any rooting interest.

Tahoe

Hoping for 9-8, 12-10, high scoing games, you guys?

World Series fact: the Cards have won 10 championships - second most in MLB - and it's still 17 fewer than the Yanks.

Timone
10-19-2011, 08:34 PM
Lost in all of this: if the Cards win, McGwire wins a ring. lol

On December 23, 2010 Rhodes signed a one year deal with the Texas Rangers, with a vesting option for 2012. He was later designated for assignment on August 2, 2011.[3] On August 8, 2011, Rhodes was released by the Texas Rangers. On August 11, 2011 he signed with the St Louis Cardinals. Given the late signing, the Rangers will have to pay the majority of Rhodes' salary, with the Cardinals only responsible for a pro-rated league minimum for the remainder of the year.
Because the Cardinals and Rangers face each other in the World Series, this will create a unique situation, in that the Rangers will paying the majority of a salary to a player who will be trying to beat them for the championship. Rhodes will also be eligible to receive a championship ring, regardless of who wins the title.[4]

^ Great WS Fact.

Tahoe
10-19-2011, 11:01 PM
Did you know that there is only 1 pitcher to pitch in more games than Rhodes, before finally pitching in a WS?

You didn't.

John Franco. I'm just counting them up in my head, but I'm thinking it was 950ish games before finally pitching in a WS.

Tahoe
10-20-2011, 05:44 PM
Did you hear the fact that last night was the first time someone pinch hit for a go ahead run in WS game? Or since somefuckinthing...

The shit they come up with is amazing.

Tahoe

WSF: Its 0-0 so far.

Timone
10-20-2011, 08:33 PM
Game 4 between Phillies/BJs in '93 is the highest scoring game in WS history.

Tahoe
10-20-2011, 08:49 PM
T, lets jinx Lewis.

Tahoe
10-20-2011, 08:50 PM

WTF Confessional: watching "Hocus Pocus" on ABC Fam instead of this.

Timone

Good series.

Tahoe

There's my Cards.

Tahoe
10-22-2011, 09:22 PM
Napoli had plenty of time to throw that ball on the proper foot, but threw cross footed and fucked it up.

Timone
10-22-2011, 11:37 PM
Game's still on. Jesus.

God bless Tim McCarver.

Tahoe

I will NOT be upset when Timmy retires.

Tahoe

Annuder error on TexASS?

Tahoe

Finally someone scored...4-2 Rangers.

Tahoe
10-24-2011, 11:14 PM

Tahoe
10-27-2011, 11:56 PM
FACT: Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes and St Louis comes through with a hit to tie the game 7-7.

For being down on this series, it has turned out to be entertaining for not giving a SHIT who wins..

Timone
10-28-2011, 12:20 AM
Great series.

Tahoe
10-28-2011, 12:23 AM
FACT: 9-9

Timone

Holy shit, the Tards just keep on coming back. This game just might make me a general fan of baseball after all.

Eckspeshally cuz the NBA Billionaires are fighting the NBA Millionaires.

^ Makes me want to shove all of them.

Vinny

Unbelievable that Glan jinxed the Rangers finally. Where was that 2 weeks ago?

Timone
10-28-2011, 07:53 AM
Nothing in sports quite like a game 7.

Timone
10-28-2011, 10:06 PM
I think the Cards winning this WS might be a good way to get Pooholes to come back.

Tahoe
10-28-2011, 10:29 PM
FACT: Fox just put up a World Series Fact.

Timone
10-28-2011, 10:33 PM

^ I'm that big of a deal.

Tahoe
10-28-2011, 10:42 PM
Tahoe Fact: I just LMAO that they made a bid deal out of Poohole's potential last at bat and he STRUCK OUT.

Timone
10-28-2011, 10:45 PM
Something tells me Albert Pujols' Decision special wouldn't be as controversial as LeBron's.

Timone
10-28-2011, 10:46 PM
Seriously, who doesn't know he'll be either a Card or a Tiger?

Tahoe
10-28-2011, 10:50 PM
I'm so out of touch that I don't know what the deal is...why wouldn't he resign with the Cards? My 1st guess is money. 2nd guess is money. Amiright?

If so, whatup, they don't have the dough?

I should go read and stop aksing so many questions.

Tahoe
10-28-2011, 10:58 PM
So I've been talking this series up lately, so now it'll end like a dud.

Timone
10-28-2011, 11:04 PM
^ That seems to happen quite a bit.

Last team to lose 2 consecutive World Series(es)?

Timone
10-28-2011, 11:19 PM
WHAT A CHOKE BY THE FAGNERS!

Timone
10-28-2011, 11:22 PM
Isn't Buck from St. Louis or something?

Timone
10-28-2011, 11:22 PM
The Tards... what a story!

I kinda feel good for the great people of St. Louis. The Rams are fucking terrible and the Cards have really uplifted their spirit.

Tahoe
10-28-2011, 11:50 PM
Agree, St Louis peeps have had hard times and they need something to uplift them.

Timone
10-29-2011, 12:22 AM
Happy for these Cardinals, but the other Cards are getting raped by my Ravens on Sunday. Those will be some angry birds (LOL!)
