I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

Not surprised by that, anyone seen UK redsox lately?

Giants beat the Reds 6-4 to take the series 3-2, not bad seeing as though they lost their first two games.

They often go through the batting order/line up 4 or 5 times (at bats) in a game, if you want to get into baseball start watching the post season games as they tend to be very entertaining and if you haven't picked a team yet... choose wisely!

It's funny, because here the team that the trendy/posers pick is the redsox.

it's a city with under 1 million people and always leads the league in hat sales etc.

After they won the WS in 2004, EVERYONE was suddenly a socks fan.

People here (unless they live where I live) don't randomly watch the yankees.  If you don't live/come from the greater NY area, you HATE the yankees. 

The yankees are less Man United and more Man City in terms of what fans out of the area think about them.

So what do our Yankee fans out there think of this season then...

Been snowed under with work. After working seven days most weeks for the past two months, I just haven't had the inclination to log on to H&V of an evening. I haven't been watching any of the playoffs either.

It appears that the Sox will be bringing in their former Pitching Coach and current Blue Jays Manager, John Farrell as their skipper for the 2013 season.

I rate him as a pitching coach but he hasn't done anything in Toronto to convince me that he's a top manager. I'd have preferred to see the Sox follow the lead of the White Sox and Cardinals by bringing in someone like Brad Ausmus.

Jays get Aviles too, Farrell wanted to go there very badly

So it is the Giants against the Tigers, I certainly didn't pick those teams.

I'd love to see Ozzie managing the Yankees. It would be like Billy Martin reincarnated.

Only the 4th guy ever to do that, and all of them liked their food!

2-0 Giants, come on Tigers we want the season to last a bit longer as they only will start talking about the NHL lockout otherwise.

Are Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent still carrying the Giants?

Jeff Kent is currently on the reality tv show "survivor" in North America, and he seems like a nice bloke, Barry Bonds on the other hand is not.
