MLB Post season

kudos and congrats to the Sox...they deserved it and I'm glad their long wait is over.

Chicago is a great town so I am familiar with both the sox fans and the cubs fans from the time I lived there.

I feel bad for the cubbies and their fans...it must be killing them. Hope their suffering ends soons as well.

Preferably by euthanasia, as I'd never want to see the Cubs win the Series. They chose their fate, let them suffer.
 
feck the Cubs ;)

I mean, now that Boston broke the curse, the Cubbies are a bunch of Red Sox wannabes--which is just plain horrible.

wrigley is a great ballpark...great experience...i went to several games during the spring and summer and it was really a great environment.

It is a great ballpark, but the Cubbies are still a bunch of losers.

Say, when is good ole George going to trash that ballpark of yours (just kidding ;)) and build the new one?
 
Eh, I don't feel bad for Cub fans. Anybody who celebrates being 'lovable losers' don't deserve a championship in my book. How is losing lovable? The idea is absurd.

:wenger:
 
People go to Cub games for the party environment, not the baseball. Otherwise they might have won a Series since 1908. That team is simply pathetic. Cub fans wouldn't know good baseball if it hit them in the face.
 
It's funny enough to hear about how the ChiSox fans are passionate and supportive yet the Cubs routinely outdraw the ChiSox by 10,000 for home games. Seems apparent the ChiSox are going to be a bandwaggon team for the next 12 months.

:lol: Europeans always complain about internationals in football but this nut is using it to support his claim for cricket. BTW, I suppose you forgot baseball was played in the Olympics for quite sometime and now there will be a World Cup of Baseball tournament in March, known as the World Baseball Classic .

Cricket is shit. End of.

You're a spastic.

Cricket's highest level is international level (they are called Test matches). The reason people moan about international football is because it conflicts with the interests of their clubs. That doesn't mean they don't like major tournaments. Cricket is geared to the interests of the national side because international cricket is the most important level of the game. Everyone accepts that the clubs must play second fiddle.

No one plays baseball. Because it's shit.

No plays American Football either because that too is shit.

And we know you wish we did, otherwise you wouldn't invent bullshit names like the World Series in which only Americans are playing.

The World Baseball Classic will be shit.

Yeah, because countries like Italy, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Australia, etc., don't exist.

Clue.

Only ponce Europeans and Middle Easterners play cricket.

Yeah, a massive global sport.

More people follow cricket in India than live in America.

Sporting isolationist gimp.

:lol:

More people grow beards in India than live in America. More people eat curry in India than live in America.

Your point is not only baseless, but pointless. Cricket is India's national sport, so of course they follow it. India has 3 times the population of America. Your spastic post would be like me saying- more people follow baseball in America than live in England.
 
Question:
What do the Yankees/Red Sox/Twins/Indians/Angels and A`s all have in common?









Answer:
They all would have beaten the Astros in a seven game series. The NL is shit and needs the DH.

I pointed out that cricket is better than baseball, which it is.
MrMarcello called it gay, which he is.
It all went downhill from there.
He even cited Australia as a country where baseball is popular. The Aussies live for cricket.

MrMarcello is a genuine retard with no sense of humour at all. It's really quite rare. Have you ever heard it when he tries to make a joke? It's excruciating.

Fair enough, but Aussies are in the main thick, stupid and tasteless. I mean they prefer Aussie Rules to football.
 
It's a god send. Imagine what it would be like if the Yanks had taken to cricket. It would be like ... well, baseball, ie shit.
 
Arguing over some stupid shit if you ask me.

If you're born in a country that likes cricket, surprise surprise you just might like cricket. Same with baseball.

Baseball's not as small as you think, look at all the posts it has generated here. Baseball can't be as popular in the UK as in the US, that's by definition damn near impossible.

For the record I like both sports, but prefer AL-style baseball, particularly the kind played on the South Side of Chicago.
 
I've tried watching baseball but never been able to get into it. I've heard it is a great game if you do. Hardly anyone follows it in the UK. I was just pointing out that cricket is better, which it must be since it is brilliant, to wind up MrMarcello, who is a gimp of the highest order.

It's a hard game to understand, at least in part because you almost have to use the terminology of the game in explaining its rules. There are plenty of boring games. But to be at a close game with a lot riding on it is incredibly intense.

But you weren't able to wind up Mr Marcello. He's basically unwindable.
