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

Well done Cubbies. Pretty straight forward win as Kershaw was pretty poor. Tito v Theo.

If the Cubs win the Series, Theo should immediately be declared President.... of the whole fecking planet

[cdbearsfan]

Don't really follow baseball but I'm aware of the Cubs' historical incompetence so hoping they win it, even though a Hibs Scottish Cup and Cubs World Series in the same year will most likely signal the Apocalypse.

$2000 will get you a Standing Room ticket for the first game at Wrigley

Cheapest to actually sit down is $2800

I like Cleveland as a town and don't mind the Indians. The only thing I don't like about them is their racist mascot logo, Chief Wahoo

Yep that is making the news over here, if you watch Major League now it looks like a Bernard Manning show with the number of racist remarks in there. So many teams have names that arguably should be changed. The Redskins, Braves, Chiefs, Blackhawks, etc. it won't be cheap to change all that merchandise.

As for the WS it is going to be close, just goes to show how important the All Star game is these days.

Out if those names, Redskins is clearly derogatory / racist. A debate could be had about the others

From ESPN..... The Cubs have played 11,309 games - including 50 postseason games - since their last World Series game

I heard that the Cubs have never had a non-white player play in the WS either, it really has been too long.

Cubs fecked that one up top of the 7th. Bases loaded and 0 outs and failed to score.

Yep, last WS was 1945. Jackie Robinson was 1947

Yep that was the chance, still a lot of baseball still to be played... I hadn't seen much of the Cleveland team and was surprised at how good they are.

[PeterWithesShin]

Cleveland have the Tito factor. We should have beaten them, got swept. Toronto should have beaten them, lost 4-1. Cubs should beat them.....

I stayed up to the bottom of the 8th last night before falling asleep so watched the rest earlier. We may get a few games with the time difference an hour in our favour as clocks go back Sunday, but another week before they do in the US.

[The Left Side]

They are bringing the game forward an hour tonight due to weather.

[PeterWithesShin]

Good job you said that otherwise i'd have been tuning in at 1am! Cheers TLS.
