ExiledInIllinois Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I want Verlander to pitch a complete game tonight. EDIT: I deleted my first reply... Seems the years slipped my mind. The Sox had four consecutive complete games following the Game 1 loss to Angels in 2005 ALCS. That's something you won't see ever again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete games, in general around the league, are incredibly rare (especially for Mets fans), let alone seeing four in one 7-game series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I don't watch as much baseball as I used to, but is it safe to say this is the best World Series in our lifetimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a horrible World Series. Fun. But not good baseball. I'm 46 and the best World Series I can remember is 1991: Twins/Braves. THAT was great baseball. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_World_Series EDIT: I have to throw in 1986, too!!

Gugny Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Why do you hate the Astros and home runs? I'm rooting for the Astros and I love home runs! I just think this series has been plagued by crappy management, crappy pitching, crappy defense and games that drag on way too long. Other than that, it's probably been the best of our lifetime.

I prefer the long nightly grind of the regular season to the playoffs, unless the Jays are in it. Handing out whiffle balls and bats and people screaming the whole time and 95% of people in the stands who didn't go to a single game all year make it not worth watching, unless the Jays are in it.

Same here. Just have two best teams play in Series. Season is playoffs. Baseball @ night, in November is an abomination. Miss it (finishing tops for the Pennant) a few games... Tough... Win in June when the season counts. Put any team in the playoffs and they have a good chance of winning. Teams should be built for 162. Not 1, 5, or 7.

Teams should be built for 162. Not 1, 5, or 7. Are teams built for 162 games or sequences of 4-6 games? I think it's the latter. The lack of off days during the regular season forces the roster to be exposed. Especially if you play real baseball like the NL. But the extra off days in the post season changes everything and allow teams to hide their flaws, particularly inn the bullpen. Easier said than done, but eliminate post-season off days. 7 game series are the way to go...it mimics the norm of 3 game regular season series. 9 is kooky talk. Left the room for a minute. Did they just go to replay to see if Utley was interfered with on a straight-in slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what's even weirder... I caught some soccer (Col-NY)... Gasp! They went to video review to rule on a Red Card. Sports & tech is all crap. You gotta be kidding, soccer? LMAO! That's like a red light cam... Ha! Edited November 1, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
