The Baseball thread

[HumboldtBlue 16]

Born and raised in Baltimore and a lifelong Orioles fan. Glad to be back to winning baseball.

Baseball is my first love but I love real football. Go Blues.

Like Baseball dunno why they call it a world series though.

Man, Lester to Oakland and Price to Detroit.

Oakland with the best rotation in baseball right now IMHO.

Such a shame this two teams will have to meet in the Semi-finals. Imagine Verlander, Price, Scherzer vs Kazmir, Gray, Lester in a World Series Final.

Amazing deadline day! Best in years!

Amazing, Oakland has 4 starters with sub 3.00 ERA's.

I think Oakland have to be the favorites, but Detroit have been in the WS and ALCS the last two years. They're good and have Miguel Cabrera. Should be a fun ride!!!

Is it just me or does Costa have a striking resemblance to former big leaguer and manager Ozzie Guillen?

[nyikolajevics 2,691]

Is anyone watching Giants-Cardinals? They've been playing for 4 hours now, what a match! I can't wait the World Series to start, Kansas seem to be very strong.

Crazy game. Huge win for SF, it was a must win for STL, can't see them coming back now. Really want KC to win it all.

[nyikolajevics 2,691]

World Series, 7th game, 9th inning and Bumgarner seems to be unstoppable...

[iseah100 5,612]

Bumgarner is not human. Gutred for KC who did so well, SF is just a dynasty.

Giants won three out of the last five World Series, unbelievable...

That error in the bottom of the 9th though... I thought Kansas would punish it. Too bad two men were already out.

That's crazy, I'm a Cubs fan and they haven't even made the playoffs in the last 5 years.

Gordon should have chanced it, but he didn't know Perez was gonna be an idiot and chase high heat over and over.
