who do you think will win the world series?

[Mok]

so with the mlb playoffs beginning, who are you cheering for to win? who do you think will win?

i vote for houston! they're red hot right now!!! The Astros have won 36 of 46. plus a franchise-record 18 consecutive home games.

i also want them to win also!!! GO ASTROS!

[Focker Singh]

I'm not a baseball fan anymore. Used to follow it really closely but not since the 94 strike and the fact that the Jays have sucked since too! Would like to see anyone win except for the Yankee's. I would like to see an underdog win. Astro's sound good. Maybe the Cards?

[Ego Woods]

I say Bosox......

[69_Iron]

I have this crazy feeling that Minnesota will win the championship. They have the best pitcher in the game today in Johan Santana (who btw singlehandedly won me the baseball pool) and the best set-up man in Juan Rincon. Their defensive chemistry is #1 in baseball today (6 double plays against the Yanks yesterday).

I feel that this team is like the Calgary Flames of baseball. But this time they will win it.

[Queen of the Beach]

boo hoo...I'd rather be talking about hockey. Who cares about baseball. :(

I know there is no hockey this year. But I am just wishing that there was so that I don't have to talk about Baseball. :rolleyes: haha lets be honest. Who went to a Jays game this season? And it doesn't count if you were given free tickets or won some tickets! Did anyone support our team?

[Mok]

actually if you give me free baseball tickets i wouldn't even go hehe...

[Mok]

oh crap, HOU vs ATL tonight 8pm...game 5!!! winner advances! LET'S GO ASTROS!

[Ego Woods]

Bosox vs. Yanks on primetime....the most anticipated and highly contested re-match in baseball history....lots of bad blood between the two teams...I'm gonna love watching every minute of it.......


*ahem*....when I do watch it! :D

that will be an awesome series to watch, if i ever turn on the tv by accident and it's on that channel, i will watch a bit also...

and GO ASTROS! first time beating atlanta, their arch nemesis!...heh...

Even though I am not a Baseball fan...I saw the 1st championship game on the TV at my gym while I was working out. The Yanks looked like the better team to me, Mussina and Matsui won the 1st one for them. Who saw game 2? I think I'm rooting for BoSox because they are the underdogs.

Bosox lost again, so they're now down 0-2. Bosox were actually favoured against the Yanks in the Vegas betting line....but with the loss of Schilling to injury in Game 1, I'd say they're in big trouble.

[Focker Singh]

haha...i am not a baseball fan either but because of all the hype between the Sox and the Yanks I decided to watch...too bad Schilling sucked in the opener...Joe Torre (manager of the Yanks) made a huge move by putting in Leiber against Pedro and it worked out perfectly! Back to Boston now, down 2-0...I still think the Sox can pull even...hate those damn Yanks!

In the NLCS, I'm still sticking with the Cardinals. That lineup is unstoppable! From top to bottom.

[Mok]

dang, Astros are down 2-0 in the series to the Cards...Cards are doing amazing though, kudos to them!

[Kerudo]

Same here, I used to like watching baseball when the Jays ruled. Now they suck horribly, I don't even count them as one of our city teams right now. :mad: And damn that hockey lock out wth???

[Mok]

sweet, astros win a game, series still 2-1 for cards but rally caps are on!

i think professional sports hurt themselves (both athletes & owners) when there is a strike or lock out...*sigh*....rich ppl...ugh!

[Mok]

Beltran is rocking...2-2 series tie in the NLCS!!

[Mok]

wow...Jeff Kent...ex-BlueJay wins it for the astros in game 5...game ending 3-run home run!

Astros leads series 3-2

[Focker Singh]

I saw that man! First pitch. I was hoping for the Cards to advance but there was a stat saying out of 9 of 11 series that were tied 2-2. The team that wins game 5 goes on to win the series.

[Focker Singh]

WOW! David Ortiz is Da MAN!! 2nd time in as many nights he hits the game winning HR in extra innings!! He's single handingly keeping Boston in this series. If only they can win game 6 now.

[Ego Woods]

If only they can win game 6 now.
Definitely going to be tough with Schilling nursing that ankle of his....

[Focker Singh]

He just pitched a great game...3-3 now, first team in history to ever comeback from down 3-0 and force game 7. The game was entertaining. Arod tried to cheat by swatting the ball out of the guys glove and was called out. Fans got a lil too rawdy and the riot police were called out to watch the fans. haha...New York New York!!!

:werd: definitely a great game, man, this is how baseball should be for every game...it'd make baseball much more exciting...

the umpiring crew did an excellent job making calls, two calls they got together to converse and came out with the right call....Benhorn's HR and ARod swatting incident :nono: ...

[Focker Singh]

Surprisingly, I'm actually interested in this years playoffs. I havn't for a while and actually make an effort to watch the games. There have been some very good and exciting games with lots of drama and comebacks from behind. Maybe the fact that there's no hockey to watch is the reason. Man...end the freaken lockout soon!!

very unlikely from what i heard in today's news, they said arena's are now booking events 45 days in advance vs. 30 days before...so if they do end lockout, they'd have to wait 45 days now...

and I heard that Schilling pitched while his injured ankle was BLEEDING!!! :clap: Now that's heart for you man! Go SOX!!

game 7 now!

dang houston game just finished, another walk-off homerun...crap, wanted houston to win in 6...now have to wait for game 7 tomorrow!...this is intense!!!

[Focker Singh]

Well Boston did it!!! They came back from a 3-0 deficit and won 4-3 in NY. Johnny Damon is the hero with 2HR's and 6RBI. Lowe pitches 6 shutout innings on 3 days rest. Now if only the Cardinals can win game 7. Should be a good World Series. I'm just happy to see the Yanks lose!

Boo on astros......want a Cards/Bosox final as well.....

[Mok]

rocket man shall get the job done!

[Mok]

ewww, cards beat astros :(

it's going to be an all red world series...

[Ego Woods]

ewww, cards beat astros :(

You may disagree with me, but I think w/the Cards in it, it makes for a more exciting classic.....that is one messed up offense the Cards have.....:eek:

[Focker Singh]

this is one thread i agree with Ego....Cards vs Bosox final is better...two lineups with huge offensive power...esp the Cards...

Edmonds, saved the game last night with his diving catch early in the game to save 2 runs, runner on 3rd with 1 out...instead...holds the runners and 2 outs...Pujols is the new Mr. October!!

From the beginning, I voted for the Cardinals...GO CARDS GO!!

[Queen of the Beach]

So the Cardinals and the Red Sox are in the World Series! I was rooting for the Red Sox because I read somewhere that they were cursed and never made it to the World Series in over 30 years or something. Glad to see the curse is broken. haha maybe it had something to do with all of the players watching that movie Miracle. :p

[Focker Singh]

Another reason for cheering on the Cardinals...Canadian boy Larry Walker!!!

[Ego Woods]

Bosox up 2-0...hate to say it's pretty much over, since we've all just seen a miraculous comeback b4, but they are pretty much closing in on that elusive World Championship! :D

[Focker Singh]

It isn't over yet, 2-0 isn't that bad. Last time Boston was up 2-0 in the World Series we all know what happened right??? They eventually lost 4-3 to the Mets in the famous ground ball to Bill Buckner. The CURSE is still ON!! GO CARDS GO!!

after the ALCS, i think 2-0, even 3-0 ain't that bad! haha...but it'll definitely be difficult!

[Jaydog]

is the curse over?

wow!!! what a performance by pedro. those card bats better get pretty hot soon or the series is over.

GO SOX!!!

[Mok]

woah red sox are hot! 6 game winning streak!

[Focker Singh]

the fat lady is getting up and getting warming up her vocal cords...would be history slapping Boston in the face if St. Louis makes another historical comeback!! its sad to see Larry Walker play well but not winning a ring.

[Ego Woods]

GO SOX!!!
It was only a matter of time until the sleeping Pedro broke out and would have one of his most masterful games in recent memory....great timing too, Bosox pretty much put the nail in the coffin on the Cards....:owned:

[Mok]

so is tonight the night that Red Sox wins the world series??? I wonder how many people will be tuned in to watch tonight's game?

[Meow]

Boston should finish em off tonight

[Jaydog]

congrats to all the bosox fans. not really a great series but fun to watch anyway. too bad the cards didn't show up or maybe the sox just blew them away.

[Mok]

bring out the brooms! wow...
