Fadingpain Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just wanted to say it was really, really enjoyable watching the Yankees' failed comeback last night. They kept showing kids and various fans in the crowd getting all excited as the Yankees made the bottom of the 9th interesting. And then the game ended and the Yankees' season ended too. So enjoyable. The looks of pain on the faces of all the animals in the Bronx Zoo. Just great fun and dare I say, even a little heart warming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they know it I would think that baseball is regional no matter who is involved. I think that the 2000 WS was the worst rated of all time, even with two NY teams involved. So the Yankee theory doesn't hold much water. But I don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 2000 WS was the third straight Yankees romp in the WS. So, I don't know how the previous two WS TV ratings were affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will tune in for all of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets broke the streak .... and poked the bear in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been if Timo Perez hadn't been jogging from first base on Zeile's hit. But hey, why would a rookie go all out in the World Series? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody expected us to be here. 97 wins later, we're in and hoping to wreak havoc. I'm an Astros fan. You guys had a hell of a year. If someone told me in April that you were the team I'd have to keep a close eye on, I would have laughed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they'd be a .500 team this season, moving toward the 2019 season where they'd contend. Solid base, but the future pitching (or lack there of) scares me a bit. We'll see. Id' like to say good luck, but the Astros are no longer that fun lovable team. If they keep the team intact. they might be a roadblock in the AL West for years to come.

SinceThe70s Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 A lot of game to go so no guarantees but they just mentioned this on the broadcast. The Brew Crew is inching closer to a 12 game win streak and a free burger promotion that dates back to the 1940's: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/11/thanks-year-old-prediction-brewers-win-friday-means-free-burgers-all-wisconsin/?utm_term=.d70c9763d38b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierlifer Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Front Row Amy is quite the MILF/Cougar! Counsell cooked Hader yesterday for 3 innings and wasn’t available tonight and Justin Turner sure made him pay for that today. LAD got the split they needed but Brewers coulda had a commanding 2-0 lead in this series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the idiocy that rules managing decisions in the modern era. If I don't get to watch Front Row Amy in the WS, I hold Counsell responsible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I should storm Miller Park with torches and pitchforks if that happens! Yeah he got away with some of those similar moves vs an inferior Rox team in the NLDS. I still think the Brewers can win this series because of their pen and they won the Kershaw game. Might take 7 but I think they can. Astros showed last night they are the team to beat in the AL despite Boston’s 108 regular season wins. If it’s LA/Houston in the WS again, is that the first WS rematch since the Dodgers/Yanks from the late 70s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have just started every batter with a 3-1 count to save time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
