LadyCrimson Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I'd like to see NY lose, but on the other hand, I think a Phillies/NY match up would be a lot more interesting to watch. Either way, I'll probably watch the end of most of the WS games, but don't know if I'll sit through all of them beginning to end. “Things are as they are.

Kelverin Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) I'd like to see NY lose, but on the other hand, I think a Phillies/NY match up would be a lot more interesting to watch. Those two powerhouses in their home bandboxes? I don't know it's got 14-10 type scores, 5+ hour games written all over it. "Interesting" is not the word I would call it Edited October 24, 2009 by Kelverin J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Guard Dog Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Prediction, no matter who wins the WS at least two games go deep into extra inning and end with a score that would look more like a Giants Eagles game.

LadyCrimson Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Prediction - The weather is going to suck. The later the WS is held, the more likely this will be so. It's almost an argument for all covered stadiums. “Things are as they are.

Guard Dog Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 Prediction - The weather is going to suck. The later the WS is held, the more likely this will be so. It's almost an argument for all covered stadiums. Actually it's an argument to tighten up the doggone playoff schedule. Baseball is an every day sport. So many days have been wasted since the playoffs began the WS could have been over by now. I realize the point is to maximize ratings but they are doing a disservice to the players and the quality of the game. Just look at las years WS as an example. But, that won't change.

Hurlshort Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I agree, it does seem to be getting later. I actually think they can start the playoffs a bit earlier though. Maybe cut a week off spring training or something.
LadyCrimson Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) That would help, yes, but even with that the WS might often be in mid-late Oct. I don't know how they'd do it w/the way they do things now, but imo the WS should be over within the 1st week of October. Edit: They used to do more double-headers, which shortened regular season...but have slowly eliminated them over time until the current none at all.

Kelverin Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I'll go with the phillies in 7, it could go either way, but I am a NL fan so gotta take the NL.

Guard Dog Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 I like the Yanks in five. And I think planned double headers were great. I wish they would revisit especially in the summer when the kids can go. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Hurlshort Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Phillies dominated game one. That was a heck of a pitching performance by Lee, are there a lot of complete games in the WS?
Guard Dog Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Well, it's all over now. All in all the WS was great. I watched almost all of all six games. It had it all really, dominating pitching and freat hitting, comebacks, hight drama, an aging veteran turning back time to save the day (how about Matsui's performance especially in game six...amazing). It had everything you could hope for. It was a great end to a great season. The Rays took a step back this year, the Marlins took a step forward. Now we concentrate on football and the NHL but there will always be time for Hot Stove talk. Until spring training...

Krookie Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Went into the city today to see the Yankees parade. I was super pumped for Matsui...6 RBIs, talk about clutch.
LadyCrimson Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Didn't watch all games entire, but it was certainly an interesting and often close series. 5 months until April is a long time when you don't like hockey or football... “Things are as they are.
